Overview of 1968 Chevrolet Corvette Restomod For Sale by Owner

Few American performance cars have the visual drama of an early C3 Corvette, and this 1968 Chevrolet Corvette Restomod adds a serious dose of big-block attitude to that already iconic shape. Showing approximately 58,617 miles, it wears Tuxedo Black over a Black interior and keeps the unmistakable low-slung proportions, removable T-tops, and cockpit-style cabin that made the third-generation Corvette such a standout. The real story, though, is under the hood, where a 467ci V8 built from a 454ci block brings the car well beyond factory specification. With the current owner reporting 609 HP and 597 LB-FT of torque on 91 octane, this is the kind of Corvette built for someone who wants classic C3 style with considerably more muscle behind the throttle.

Exterior and Interior

The exterior of this 1968 Chevrolet Corvette Restomod is finished in Tuxedo Black, a color that works especially well with the dramatic curves and pronounced fender arches of the early C3 body. Removable T-tops preserve one of the defining features of the generation, while aftermarket wheels give the car a more aggressive stance and help separate it visually from a stock restoration. The combination is simple but effective: one of Chevrolet’s most recognizable sports-car shapes, finished in a sinister color and backed by the kind of mechanical build that gives the exterior real purpose. The interior of this 1968 Chevrolet Corvette Restomod is finished in Black and retains the classic Corvette cockpit feel, with the driver surrounded by the center console, auxiliary gauges, and low seating position that make these cars feel special even before the engine fires. An aftermarket sound system adds a more modern touch, while the current owner reports that the car has no air conditioning. Rather than being packed with comfort upgrades, the cabin keeps the focus on the analog experience of an early C3 and the performance hardware sitting just ahead of the firewall.

Engine

The heart of this build is a 467ci naturally aspirated V8, starting with a 454ci block bored to 467ci and assembled around a 4.310-inch bore and 4.00-inch stroke. Inside are Mahle pistons and a Scat 9000 Series crankshaft, working with a 9.8:1 compression ratio and GM 049 oval-port cylinder heads. A hydraulic roller camshaft with 228°/238° duration, .553"/.578" lift, 112° LSA, and 108° ICL gives the engine a serious performance-oriented valvetrain setup, while an aluminum intake manifold and Holly Sniper Electronic Fuel Injectionr. An MSD ignition system supports the combination, and the current owner reports 609 HP and 597 LB-FT of torque on 91 octane. That output is sent to the rear wheels through a 3-speed automatic transmission, giving this Corvette the sort of big-cube, naturally aspirated punch that suits the C3’s muscle-car-meets-sports-car personality perfectly.
