Chevrolet Corvette 1968
General description :
Factory 427 Big-Block 1968 Chevy Corvette Convertible 4-Speed with Matching Numbers This 1968 427 390hp Big-Block 4-Speed Corvette Convertible is an extremely rare and exciting discovery that's been off the road since 1980. Green with black interior and white soft-top. Showing 81k miles. An incredibly desirable and collectible Big-Block 427 Corvette retaining its original motor. These cars are beyond hard-to-find and this one was originally born in Bronze with Tobacco Vinyl interior. Not currently running as it has been sitting in storage for several years patiently awaiting its next loving caretaker to come along and bring it back to its former glory. 1968 was a big year for the Corvette as it was the first year for the C3 (third generation) body style. Chevrolet completely redesigned the cars bodywork and interior, yet they still kept the widely adored chassis and available engines largely the same as the outgoing C2 Stingray. Additionally, the Corvette offered a host of options so buyers could configure their car exactly to their tastes. Eleven engine options were combined with ten exterior and seven interior colors to ensure that almost no two Corvettes produced that year were alike. Of the third-generation Corvettes, the early big block cars are the most desirable. This particular example has a lot of potential and is a project well-worth the minimal effort it would take to get it back on the road. This 427 Vette is the ideal restoration candidate.

About Chevrolet
Chevrolet aka Chevy, founded in 1911 by Louis Chevrolet and William C. Durant is the best selling and biggest brand by General Motors -mainly due to low pricing. No wonder Chevy the "working man's car" has become such an iconic part of Americana in films and pop-culture.
When talking about Chevy one must not ignore Chevrolet small-block V8 the world's most produced engine that has been in production since 1955 and still going strong.
Surprisingly, "America's only sports car" Corvette was introduced under Chevrolet brand rather than its own. To us the most memorable Corvette has to be The second generation (C2) Corvette, Sting Ray.
To compete with VW Beatle Chevrolet introduced Corvair a compact automobile built in 1960–1969 It was the only American designed, mass-produced passenger car to feature a rear-mounted air-cooled engine. Corvair handling was deemed notoriously bad mainly due to Ralph Nader's Unsafe at Any Speed. Although, any handling issues were soon solved the reputation did stick.
With Pony / Muscle car mania taking over the Americans, following the introduction of Ford Mustang, Chevrolet came up with one of its most famous models Camaro. During the first year alone they managed to sell 220,906 Camaros.
