1968 Chevrolet Corvette Red Coupe

Fuel quired is pleased to present this rare 1968 Chevrolet Corvette Coupe in our Mc ald, PA showroom. This timeless beauty has remained mostly original and is finished in the very desirable Rally red paint with black interior. This Corvette is believed and represented to be a matching numbers car. This example is powered by the L36 427 cubic inch V8 engine coupled to a 4-speed manual transmission. The car benefits from rare factory options such as a telescopic steering column. The odometer reads 45,9270 miles. For 1968, both the Corvette body and interior were completely redesigned over the 1967 model. before, the car was available in either coupe or convertible models, but coupe was now notchback fitted with a near-vertical removable rear window and removable roof panels (T-tops). The enduring new body's concealed headlights moved into position via a vacuum operated system rather than electrically as on the previous generation, and the new hide-away windshield wipers utilized a problematic vacuum door. The door handles were flush with the top of the doors with a separate release button. fenders had functional engine cooling vents. vent windows were eliminated from all models, replaced with tro tilation, a fresh air circulation system. A fiber-optic system appeared on the console that monitored exterior lights and there was no glove box. The battery was relocated from the engine area to one of three compartments behind the seats to improve weight distribution. All cars ordered with a radio, like the C2 cars, continued to be fitted with chrome-plated ignition shielding covering the distributor to reduce interference. This vehicle was part of a well-maintained private collection. This vehicle qualifies for a complete classic vehicle warranty up to 10 years/40,000 miles. We always recommend, welcome and encourage personal or professional inspections of any vehicle in our inventory prior to purchase.
