Overview of 1968 Chevrolet Corvette Convertible For Sale by Owner

One of the most interesting classic Corvettes is the C3 or third generation, which was made between 1968 and 1982. This one was groundbreaking, because it was essentially a thinly-veiled concept car that made it into production. Over 540,000 were made in total, making it one of the most populous as well. That’s why you’ll find no shortage of great examples available, from pristine originals to fixer-uppers to restomods like this 1968 Chevrolet Corvette Restomod. This car has received a full restoration plus several modern components. With two keys and all servicing reportedly up to date, the car awaits a new owner – is that you?

Exterior and Interior

This 1968 Chevrolet Corvette Restomod wears an interesting red and black two-tone color theme, highlighting its distinctive looks with panache. The looks are derived from the Mako Shark II concept car created by Larry Shinoda, which Bill Mitchell and Zora Arkus-Duntov didn’t bother changing too much. The car comes with the L88 hood and L88 flares. There’s also a set of new shiny wheels and low-profile tires, plus a side-exit exhaust system. You’ll also note that the car is a drop-top, with a black canvas roof. Before we venture aboard, yes, this car has pop-up headlamps. We at ECT are always a sucker for those. The new interior of this 1968 Chevrolet Corvette Restomod comes with a new interior that includes Vintage Air AC, a Bluetooth sound system with touchscreen, a Viper alarm system, a remote engine starter, and a custom sound system with amplifiers and subwoofers as well. Even the gauges have been upgraded to Dakota Digital units for better accuracy and reliability.

Engine

The V8 that powers this 1968 Chevrolet Corvette Restomod isn’t something from the same period, but a more modern 6.2L LS3 V8 as found in a C6 Corvette. The engine should make 430hp and 424lb-ft as it was rated in the C6 ‘Vette. It powers the rear wheels through a 5-speed automatic transmission and uses electronic fuel injection for better reliability, efficiency and cold starting abilities. Then, this car also enjoys new suspension, new struts, and new rack-and-pinion steering. In short, it’s more like a modern ‘Vette wrapped in a beautifully iconic Sixties body.

1962 Ford Thunderbird Hardtop Coupe

For Sale
ASK: $27,799
Miles: 63,156
Estimated: $274.33/mo

The 1962 Ford Thunderbird represents an era when American personal luxury cars were designed to make a statement, combining dramatic styling, powerful V8 engines, and an emphasis on comfort that distinguished them from conventional automobiles. Part of the third-generation Thunderbird lineup, affectionately known as the "Bullet Bird" for its distinctive streamlined design, the 1962 model featured a sculpted body, prominent chrome detailing, and a luxurious passenger compartment that reflected Ford's ambitious approach to personal transportation. This particular 1962 Ford Thunderbird Hardtop Coupe, showing 63,156 miles, is finished in Corinthian White over a striking Red interior and boasts an especially interesting ownership history dating back to its original purchase on October 15, 1962. According to the seller, the vehicle has passed through just three owners, with the current owner retaining it since July 2007 and overseeing an extensive series of refresh and maintenance efforts. Even more intriguing is the discovery of original Ford ROT manufacturing sheets, period service receipts, factory assembly markings, and other historical artifacts that provide a tangible connection to the car's earliest years. Powered by a 390ci V8 paired with a three-speed Cruise-O-Matic automatic transmission, this Thunderbird also benefits from reported upper-engine rebuilding, cooling system improvements, renewed brake components, and a retrofit air conditioning system. With its distinctive color combination, documented historical discoveries, and extensive collection of accompanying spare parts, this Thunderbird presents an appealing combination of classic American luxury and enthusiast provenance.
