If there were an automotive recipe for freedom, more likely than not, it would include an original V-8 engine, a convertible top, and a classic, sporty look. That's why this numbers-matching 1968 Chevrolet Corvette Convertible is so captivating. Add to that, this is the inaugural year for the iconic C3 generation, and this fully repainted red 'Vette, complete with its black canvas top and undeniably alluring Coke-bottle shape, and you have an incredibly collectible car.
Inside, we find a stock and mostly original black vinyl interior. A full-length center console separates a pair of bucket seats. An upgraded four-spoke, power-assisted steering wheel shows off a Crossed Flags center cap as it stands ahead of a big 160 mph speedometer and matching 7,000 rpm tach, while a five-pod set of auxiliary gauges sits at the top of the center stack. Dial-based Vintage Air HVAC controls keep things simple, while the Kenwood AM/FM/Cassette player handles the soundtrack of your choice.
Under that signature front-hinged hood, we find a numbers-matching 327-cubic-inch L75 V-8 engine. Topped with a single four-barrel Edelbrock carburetor, this small block eliminates spent gases through a set of long-tube headers and true dual exhaust, more than likely exceeding its original advertised 300-horsepower and 360 pound-feet of torque. Power is routed through a numbers-matching TH400 automatic transmission before heading out to the rear end, which transfers those ponies to the pavement via a set of classic fifteen-inch Rallye wheels.
