Overview of 1968 Chevrolet Corvette L79 For Sale by Owner

1968 was an exciting year for Corvette aficionados as the third generation made its entrance. Sporting a new body style and a refreshed interior, the third generation or C3 'Vette would continue right up to the 1982 model year, with several improvements along the way. If you'd like to experience the excitement that many will have felt way back in 1968, this 1968 Chevrolet Corvette L79 that we've got on sale is one great way to do so. A 67,500-mile car, it's reportedly received quite a bit of refreshment and rejuvenation to keep it going.

The red paint job on this 1968 Chevrolet Corvette L79 is as fresh as they come, reportedly performed this year.
