Chevrolet’s Corvette model is a hallowed nameplate that is well sought after and admired by enthusiasts, collectors, and the general public alike. The model is currently on its eighth generation, with a myriad of special editions and exclusives along the way. From the Corvette’s long production history, the 3rd generation, which was called the Chevrolet Corvette C3 was produced from 1967 to 1982, and is a much sought-after American classic. Our subject vehicle is an artfully restored 1968 Chevrolet Corvette Convertible from Texas which reportedly has just 10,000 miles after restoration.
Exterior and Interior
This 1968 Chevrolet Corvette Convertible has been repainted 7 years ago during its restoration to this color specification which is the famous and eye-catching Safari Yellow. 5-spoke retro wheels from Cragar Wheels adorn this car and complement its muscular design. All exterior badges and signals are in place, and polished to a mirror shine including the chrome parts. The car's distinctive shark gills on the sides are highly visible, a homage to the ‘Mako Shark’ concept car that inspired this generation of Corvette. Considering that this car is a convertible, the original hardtop in matching Safari Yellow is included with the sale. The interior of this Corvette is finished off in black leather. The car is reported to sport the factory A/C unit. Adorning the interior is the timeless Chevrolet 3-spoke steering wheel with the Chevrolet logo in the middle. The center console hosts a slew of gauges along with the Corvette labeled radio/cassette player. Factory power windows are present. It is said that all the electrical items were re-done during the restoration and are in functioning order, including the windshield wipers and blinkers.
Engine
The 1968 Chevrolet Corvette convertible is said to have a numbers-matching motor and transmission. While the C3 generation had many options for the powertrain, this factory automatic Corvette is equipped with the original 327ci 5.4L V8 motor that is rated to put out 300hp, and mated to a 3-speed Turbo-Hydramatic transmission. Stopping power is courtesy of a four-wheel disc brake system, and grip is provided by a set of new Cooper Cobra Radial tires. Suspension is a fully independent set-up and power steering is present to aid with maneuvering.
The 1977 Chevrolet Corvette Coupe represents the later evolution of the C3, and this example brings a particularly appealing ownership story to the table. Showing approximately 72,741 miles, it is powered by an L48 350ci V8 with a Quadrajet 4-barrel carburetor and a 3-speed Turbo-Hydramatic automatic transmission. Finished in red over a black leather interior, it retains the classic C3 formula with removable T-top roof panels, Rally wheels, 4-wheel power disc brakes, and dual exhaust. Even more notable, the current owner reports that this has been a single-owner car and that they have been the sole driver since new.
The 1982 Chevrolet Corvette marked the end of the C3 era, making it a fitting final chapter for one of the Corvette’s most recognizable generations. This example shows approximately 50,346 miles and pairs its 350ci L83 V8 with Cross-Fire electronic fuel injection and a 700R4 4-speed automatic transmission. Finished in silver with a dark gray lower accent over a light gray leather interior, it carries the unmistakable late-C3 look with removable glass T-tops, factory alloy wheels, raised-white-letter tires, and the model’s sculpted front and rear aero treatment. An aftermarket air conditioning system adds a useful modern touch to a car that still feels very much rooted in the early-1980s Corvette experience.
The 1968 Chevrolet Corvette marked the beginning of the third-generation Corvette, introducing the dramatic bodywork that would define the model for years to come. This 1968 Chevrolet Corvette Stingray Convertible captures that early C3 character with its Rally Red finish, open-top configuration, and classic 327ci V8 power. Showing approximately 42,647 miles, it is equipped with a 3-speed Turbo Hydra-Matic automatic transmission and comes with both a black convertible soft top and a body-colored removable hardtop. Period-inspired details such as a wood-rim steering wheel sit alongside American Racing chrome wheels and select aftermarket components, giving this Corvette a distinctive enthusiast-oriented presentation.
The 1957 Chevrolet Bel Air is one of the most recognizable American cars ever built, but this example takes the familiar Tri-Five formula and gives it a much stronger performance edge. Showing approximately 8,660 miles, this 2-door sedan restomod pairs the unmistakable ‘57 Bel Air body with a 400ci V8, Edelbrock four-barrel carburetor, five-speed manual transmission, and a long list of carefully chosen upgrades. Finished in red over a red and black interior, it blends classic Chevrolet styling with modernized drivability through power brakes, aftermarket air conditioning, upgraded instrumentation, and a more performance-focused chassis and exhaust setup.
