A real head turner and attention getter

May 16, 2017

By Big John from Womelsdorf, PA

Owns this car

Great car for those seeking a late Sixties C3 Corvette Coupe. First year of the Generation 3 (C3) Corvette in which a totally new body design was introduced. The reliable small block (Original number matching 327 cu.in./ 350 hp engine) will ensure appreciation of value of the coming years. The recent restoration work shows very well (Rally Red exterior and Red Interior) are a smart combination. The removable T-Tops and rear window give convertible like driving with added security of a Coupe. The engine runs strong and smooth; the new Red Line tires handle well in all conditions. A nice, original 1968 Corvette, down to the working original AM/FM Radio. All Gauges and instruments function correctly. A nice car to drive or take to shows or a parade.
