The third-generation Corvette, internally designated C3, burst onto the scene in 1968, a radical departure from its C2 predecessor. Inspired by the Mako Shark II concept car, its dramatic, flowing lines and "coke bottle" profile instantly cemented its status as an icon of American automotive design. While initially met with some controversy over its styling and interior packaging, the C3 quickly found its stride, becoming the longest-running Corvette generation and a symbol of 1970s excess and performance. The inaugural 1968 model year is particularly significant, marking the debut of this enduring shape and offering a range of potent V8 engines that continued the Corvette's legacy as America's sports car. This striking 1968 Chevrolet Corvette Convertible, finished in its original LeMans Blue (paint code #976) over a black vinyl interior, embodies the raw spirit of the C3's debut. With 76,040 miles on the odometer, this roadster has been thoughtfully upgraded to enhance its performance credentials. Under the hood lies a potent 350ci V8, now boasting an estimated 425 horsepower thanks to a Stage 1 camshaft, Edelbrock dual quad carburetors, and headers feeding into a dual exhaust system with correct tips. Power is sent to the rear wheels via a 4-speed manual transmission, offering an engaging driving experience. Accel performance ignition and new brake master cylinder ensure both spirited performance and reliable stopping power, while staggered 15x8.5 front and 15x9.5 rear wheels give it an aggressive, period-correct stance. This LeMans Blue roadster, with its powerful 350 V8 and 4-speed manual, offers a visceral connection to the golden age of American muscle.
