   The ‘68 was not called a Stingray and is unique of all the C3s

    Remember the L88?


This car has 30+ years in and out of storage with several moves...


I’ve also posted a couple of pictures of my Corvette/projects; they are not for sale, so please don’t ask. My babies!


This started as a father/son project, but because of Dad’s health (he’s nearly 70), financial considerations, and storage reasons he is certain it would not get completed. And, I’m busy with my ’67.


  • Factory original engine was:  a 327 SBC, 300 HP with 4 speed gearbox
  • It now has:  a rebuildable 454 BBC resides with a 4 speed gearbox


  • I have another “010” standard bore, 350, 4-bolt main block and also the coil springs that may go with it or swap?  (read further)
  • Also, a complete vintage ‘68 350HP 396 could be included or purchased separately (read further)


  • This car has power steering, power brakes, non-air, manual windows
  • Cleaning house...Interior pieces are in several boxes with spare parts. 

  I will box up and seal to protect them in transit

  • Front and rear sway bars
  • 4 wheel disc brakes
  • Two sets of wheels: Original Rally and American Racing
  • Hardtop only (perfect for a an ’68 L88 clone!)
  • New BBC headers in box
  • New Front end clip, temporarily attached in place
  • “427” Original big block hood with trim and emblems! (Worth nearly $1000.00 +/- by itself.)
  • Frame is in good shape with surface rust only (no rust outs)
  • Spare tire cover in good shape with original jack and handle
  • Body was stripped bare, several layers of primer applied and some areas are sanded smooth
  • New door pins/bushings installed in the hinges years ago


I may have missed something, but to my knowledge, I believe that is most of it. Please feel free to ask questions before bidding. I will do my best to answer them. I am not an expert by any means, but love these cars. I wish things were different and I was a bit younger, too, LOL... Barely enough time to work on my cars and ride my bike! If you are serious and are close to the St. Louis, Missouri area, you may arrange to see the car. Sorry for only posting exterior pictures, but the car is currently in storage.  The majority of the interior is boxed up in my father’s basement. These pictures were taken in the fall of 2013 at my house while we were cleaning the car.  We were waiting for Spring when the project season begins, but now have decided to let the car find a new home instead.


We have a dollar number in mind (above reserve); if the price meets our figure then the extra engines (mentioned earlier in this post) will be included for the new owner.  There is an extra 4 speed, too.  But, I think that the 4 speed needs some attention.  However, if the car doesn’t meet our figure during the auction, the extra engines, etc listed above would not be included.  They would be for sale separate from this auction.  Please inquire if you have questions.


I will assist in loading the parts and the car. BUT, it is the responsibility of the purchaser to incur any and all expenses related to shipping and or damages. There are no guarantees in life, none on this vehicle, and no warranty is implied or given as well. This Corvette is nearly 50 years old. So, please understand this is a huge undertaking and only the experienced should consider it. Chevrolet only produced 18,630 convertibles in 1968.


I reserve the right to sell the car locally, but only AFTER this Ebay auction has ended, if the car didn’t meet reserve.  I will not entertain any funny business, “lookie Lous”, or tire kickers! I have a 100% positive feedback.  


If you bid and win, you’ve purchased this car. I can retain the storage until the end of March 2014. Otherwise, additional expenses will be incurred by the new owner/purchaser. Once the car is paid for, in full, then additional storage time could be addressed for a later pick up.  A $1,000.00 payment is required to my Paypal account within 24 hours of auction’s end, period.  The balance shall be paid to me, via cash, M.O., or a cashier’s check within 7 calendar days after deposit. No refunds and no excuses please. The payment must be cleared before I will release the car and the title.


Thank you for your time to review this auction.  Happy bidding!  Remember, this is supposed to be fun and, it’s nearly spring, so... lets go!


Good luck, 

Scott

Chevy shows much-improved 2014 Corvette interior in new video

Mon, 11 Feb 2013

If you want a closer look at what went into designing and building the interior for the 2014 Chevrolet Corvette, we've got just the thing. General Motors has released a new video detailing the cabin's evolution from conception to execution, complete with commentary from Ryan Vaughn, performance car interior design manager with Chevrolet. The quick clip details how manufacturing, engineering and design within General Motors worked together from the first sketches to ensure no compromises had to be made later down the line. How novel.
With plenty of hides traced with contrast stitching and available real carbon fiber trim, the cabin looks to be a few hundred miles ahead of the C6. Given how readily critics derided the previous generation for its cabin, the C7 should make writers work a little harder to find something to complain about. Check out the video below for yourself.

Anti-purist 1963 Ferrari GTE sports hot rod Chevy V8

Thu, Oct 8 2015

I remember reading a story around the time Fast and Furious: Tokyo Drift came out. It focused on one of the star cars of that film, a 1967 Ford Mustang fastback that started the film as a shell, and in a pinch, was transformed into a modified masterpiece, complete with the RB26DETT engine from a Nissan Skyline GT-R (which started the film under the hood of an S15 Silvia). There was a genuine (and in our minds, absurd) fear in the article that taking a piece of classic American iron and fitting a twin-turbocharged JDM engine would result in some awful trend in the classic car community. If you thought a GT-R-powered classic Mustang was sacrilege, though, this car will probably make you vomit. For the rest of us, it's a neat piece of engineering. Shown above is a 1963 Ferrari 250 GTE, and yes, that's a 302-cubic-inch, small-block Chevrolet V8 under the hood. On top of that, it uses the six-speed manual transmission from a Viper, a nine-inch Ford rear end, and Mitsubishi-sourced paint. So yeah, it's a FrankenFerrari. Check out Road Heads' interview with this custom GTE's owner, which is followed by a brief test drive. And of course, head into Comments afterwards, and let us know what you think. Is this Yankee-powered 250 GTE blasphemous or badass?

Is Buick's surprise Detroit concept a Camaro-sized coupe?

Sun, Jan 10 2016

Tomorrow night marks the unofficial start of the 2016 Detroit Auto Show. Keep your eyes peeled for a number of reveals, including a surprise debut from Buick. Yes, Buick. And we think it's going to be something really hot. According to a report from Bloomberg, the Tri-Shield's secret car could be a Camaro-sized sport coupe concept. As Bloomberg explains, it'd certainly gel with the impression the company is trying to put out – that it's no longer a brand for those with one foot in the grave. Introducing a sports coupe, even as a concept, could certainly reinforce that message. And if it happens to make production – which is not a certainty, Bloomberg's secret source says – it could certainly help Buick drive its average buyer age down from 59. Bloomberg doesn't offer any speculation on Buick's new coupe, but we have no problem making educated guesses. Our most reliable conjecture is this: it will ride on General Motors' Alpha platform, which underpins both the Camaro and the Cadillac ATS. And with a certain twin-turbocharged V6 in the GM stable, we've got an idea of what kind of engine could be shown. That speculation will have to suffice for now. But don't worry, we'll have official details, live images, and video tomorrow when Buick unveils its new concept in Detroit's Eastern Market.
