Original Big Block - 427/390 HP V8, with tank sticker

1968 Chevrolet Corvette Description

***I have relisted this auction today as I lowered the reserve, removed the "buy it now option," added a photo of the car's VIN (on the windshield column), clarified information related to the engine and its partial VIN, and changed the methods of payment (by eliminatingthe down payment with PayPal and using an online escrow service for out-of-state transactions).

This is a beautiful car that I've owned since August, 2015. The car was restored by a previous owner, and has since enjoyed a sheltered life of mostly Sunday drives and the occassional car show. I have clear title to the car and documentation that includes the tank sticker, protectoplate, as well as a photo album that documents the car's frame-off restoration. Details from the tank sticker include:

-M20 4-speed (matching numbers)- 3:36 rear end (matching numbers)- Trim - 024140A - MED/BLUE VINYL- Engine - O2L36AA - 390HP TURBO-JET V8 (L36 427/390HP V8 engine)- Axle - O2G81HA - POSITRACT AXLE 3:36- Transmission - 02M21AA - 4-SPD CL RATIO TRANI believe the car has its original engine, and do so for the following reasons: the block code on the rear of the engine reads "3935439," which is the code for a big block V8, 1968-1969, 427, 2-bolt or 4-bolt. As the last twp photos indicate, you can also make out thenumbers 2, 3, 0, and 8 on the front of the block where the partial VIN is located. This is consistent with the final sequenceof the car's VIN - 23608. There is a space between the 3 and 0, presumably where the 6 is located, but the 6 is not legible. (The partial VIN is very faintandbarely legible, probably due to the engine being reconditioned during the restoration.) You are welcome to inspect the car and make your owndetermination beforehand as to whether or not the engine is original.
The car now has ceramic-coated, after-market headers. However, I have the original factory headers/exhaust manifold and connector pipes. Note also that the car is titled in Pennsylvania, not West Virginia.
