1968 Chevrolet Corvette Stingray Coupe Description

1968 all numbers matching 427/390hp coupe, this car has everything including its original spare and spare tire, recently completed a minor restoration, the rare stereo radio was repaired and is in perfect working order. Had all the bushings replaced as they were the original factory bushings and disintegrated when removed, the car was re-aligned and my mechanic was surprised to find that the car had never been aligned before, the factory shims were still in place. The car was aligned and the factory shims were saved. A number of rubber weatherstripping around the t-tops were replaced.
Clock and all gauges work perfectly, alternator is correct date code, the car even has some of its originalfactory assembly/inspection marks as seen in the photos
The gas tank was dropped and the there was enough of the tank sticker remaining to confirm the 390 hp Turbo-jet engine, the M-21 close ratio transmission, positraction rear end, leather interior, and British Green paint
The orginal tank was removed, the sticker sealed, and a brand new tank was installed
The car also has a fuel return line, no radiator overflow tank, and 5600 redline tach, confirming the 390hp engine option.
Paint is in good condition, there are two small cracks by the front passenger hood mount, but all in all good driver quality paint
This car is well optioned and as you see below, has two rare options, the rear window defrost and the factory car alarm, all the parts for the car alarm are there, the plungers in each door, the horns in the rear wheel wells, and the key in the rear valance, I did not have it hooked up as it has been known to drain the battery.
Interestingly the car has lower fender extensions (added by the factory to prevent rock chips) and exhaust cutouts from a 70, it looks like they were added at some point or as a replacement but I could not find any evidence of damage.

Car was delivered new to Hamilton Chevrolet in Warren Michigan.
New shocks, bushings, and battery were installed, the car was aligned and tuned, it starts right up with no problems and drives perfectly
This is the lowest mileage C3 I have ever seen
