Chevrolet Corvette 327 V8 1968

Allmän beskrivning : ONLY 43K MILES & VERY FACTORY CORRECT, MATCHING #S 327 V8, AUTO, WELL DOCUMENTED

You don't come across vintage Corvettes in operating condition very often, but this 1968 Chevrolet Corvette Stingray is a truly rare find. With just over 43,000 ACTUAL miles under its belt, it's one highly sought-after piece of automotive culture featuring matching numbers and restored to an outstanding condition that reflects nothing but the best of care.
That factory-correct Rally Red exterior is the same shade this Stingray began life with and it has been brought into the present in top quality form - just the first and most obvious of clues as to how exacting the restoration undertaken on this classic has been. A true American sports car, the Corvette occupied a very distinct space from the more commonly seen muscle cars of their era, so it's fitting that this one retains its stock configuration throughout - a model as special as this certainly needed no help in the form of customization. Its T-Top configuration, with its fold-out rear window, makes it even more special. Light as they are, the T-Tops themselves are easy to take on and off and the option allows for the open-air enjoyment of a convertible, but with a lot less wind noise. All too often, the point at which a classic's restoration is completed marks its zenith, as waning enthusiasm can lead to a diminishing standard of attention down the line. Not with this one. Obviously the recipient of great care, it has unblemished, shiny chrome bumpers, straight trim and good rubber around the doors to go along with that beautiful paint!
Where vintage interiors are concerned, you'll find this one awfully hard to beat. Red throughout and factory-correct like its exterior, it has also been brought back to its optimum condition. The fresh-looking leather bucket seats are surrounded by examples of timeless design everywhere and as you grip the leather-wrapped Chevy steering wheel, you'll see a one of a kind instrument cluster - almost avionic in design. The speedometer and tachometer sit before you, with the accompanying gauges for fuel level, water temperature, oil pressure and battery charge residing along with the clock in the center console. Those stock gauges are all still fully functional, with surprisingly clear lenses. You'll see that the factory-installed A/C system is still up and running, blowing out from the registers on each side of that futuristic dash. Look down and you'll see matching red carpeting and floor mats that reflect the same impeccable condition. Additional driver comfort features include its original AM/FM radio and power windows, both of which also work without a hitch.
The performance concept of this Corvette was represented by a fairly simple equation. Take a Chevy 327 V8, with its 300 factory horses and lower it into the compartment of a car weighing only 3200 lbs, and the result is a vintage car that's an absolute blast to drive. But this 'Vette is about more than straight ahead exhilaration. Chevy obviously put a lot of emphasis on just how cutting edge its sports cars were. The power steering you'd rightfully expect is also accompanied by a fully independent suspension and four-wheel power disc brakes at all four corners - both features not at all commonplace at the time. This 327 sits in an engine compartment that has benefited from the same attention shown elsewhere on the car, its still-stock appearance looking dry and unmarred by leaks. Connected to a 3-speed Turbo Hydramatic transmission, the engine's stock headers lead down to a dual exhaust running the length of an undercarriage that shows that same bone-dry look before culminating in the twin pipes at the rear. The car sits on a set of 15" Sting Ray spoke rims, wrapped with all-black Michelin radials.
Looking for a truly unique example of vintage American automotive engineering, one that comes complete with build receipts, restoration photos and even the original Owner's Manual? This Sting Ray is for you. Call today!

om Chevrolet
Chevrolet aka Chevy, som grundades år 1911 av Louis Chevrolet och William C. Durant är den bäst säljande och största varumärke av General Motors -mainly grund av låga priser.

Inte undra på Chevy "arbets mannens bil" har blivit en sådan ikonisk del av Americana i filmer och pop-kultur.

När man talar om Chevy man får inte bortse från Chevrolet small-block V8 världens mest producerade motor som har varit i produktion sedan 1955 och still going strong.

Överraskande, "Amerikas enda sportbil" Corvette infördes i Chevrolet varumärke snarare än sina egna. För oss mest minnesvärda Corvette måste vara Den andra generationen (C2) Corvette, Sting Ray.

Att konkurrera med VW Beatle Chevrolet introducerade Corvair en kompakt bil byggd 1960-1969 Det var det enda amerikanska utformade, massproducerade personbil som har en bakmonterad luftkyld motor. Corvair hantering ansågs notoriskt dåligt främst på grund av Ralph Nader s Osäkert vid varje hastighet. Även om var eventuella hanteringsfrågor snart löst rykte gjorde pinnen.

Med Ponny / Muscle bil mani tar över amerikanerna, efter införandet av Ford Mustang, Chevrolet kom upp med en av sina mest kända modeller Camaro. Under det första året lyckades de sälja 220.906 Camaros.
