Chevrolet's Corvette is an American icon. Created in 1953, it's become the poster car for many, loved by millions. It's gained a cult following in North America and worldwide. Eight generations of Corvette have been produced to date. This 1968 Chevrolet Corvette Coupe Restomod hails from the third generation and features some tasteful modifications to help it stand out. It's received a comprehensive frame-off restoration, as reported by the current owner.

Exterior and Interior

Sporting a black paint job, this 1968 Chevrolet Corvette Coupe Restomod beautifully showcases the lines of the third generation that Bill Mitchell penned. Blue accents along the side and hood scoop add a touch of distinctiveness. Rolling on new Futura tires, this car also sports aftermarket spinner rims for some glitz and glamor. Need we remind you that one of the coolest features that this car has is pop-up headlamps? Yes, they are there. The black interior offers seating for two occupants and features the signature Corvette layout. You'll appreciate the work done on the interior that makes it look almost like it left the factory yesterday. Black re-upholstered leather seats, clear and neat period instrumentation, and a thin-rimmed sporty steering wheel add to the nostalgia factor. Looking further, we can see a retro-modern push-button style radio that adds AUX connectivity. The current seller also reports that this car has air conditioning, with a new air conditioning unit for better cooling. A tilt and telescopic steering column are reported as well.

It's also said that the car has power steering and new four-wheel power disc brakes for better stopping power.
