The third-generation Corvette, internally designated C3, burst onto the scene in 1968, a radical departure from its C2 Sting Ray predecessor. Its striking "Coke bottle" design, inspired by the Mako Shark II concept car, was longer, wider, and lower, ushering in an era of audacious styling that would define the Corvette for decades. Initially offered with a range of small-block and big-block V8 engines, the C3 quickly cemented its place as America's sports car, a symbol of freedom and performance that resonated deeply within the cultural landscape of the late 1960s. This generation would go on to be the longest-running Corvette, produced for a remarkable 15 years, evolving through various performance iterations and design updates. This unique offering presents a fascinating opportunity for the dedicated enthusiast: a pair of 1968 Corvette convertibles, poised for a comprehensive restoration project. The first, a vibrant red example, sustained an engine fire, leaving the body and chassis from the firewall back in salvageable condition. The second, a yellow convertible, has been off the road for some three decades, requiring extensive work throughout. Crucially, the yellow car boasts its original, numbers-matching powertrain and has been under the care of the same owner since 1973, adding significant historical provenance to its raw potential. Both vehicles come with clean and clear Kentucky titles. This duo represents a blank canvas for the ambitious restorer, offering the chance to resurrect a true American icon.
