1968 Chevrolet Corvette Roadster Numbers Matching

Description

• The paint is an older single stage job but it shined up well with a good buffing.
• The convertible top is in really good shape and goes up and down easily. The latches for the convertible top work well. The top has a plastic rear window that has some very light scuffs but is not in bad shape.
• The front bumper looks to be in good shape but the rear bumper could stand to be rechromed.
• All of the glass is in good shape. The windshield has one tiny stone chip right in the middle of the windshield.
• The 15" Ralley wheels are in good shape, the trim rings and center caps are nice and the tires have plenty of tread left on them.
• The headlights work, and the vacuum operated headlight doors open and close well.
• The windshield wipers work well and the door comes up and goes down smoothly when turning on and off the wipers.

• The interior is in good shape overall.
• The driver side door panel has a crack in it but the passenger door panel is in good shape.

• The seat covers are in good shape and do not have any large major tears.

• All of the gauges except for the tachometer and fuel gauge work as they should.
• The power windows go up and down quickly and smoothly.

• The original numbers matching 327 small block is still in the car and runs great. It starts right up, has good power, good oil pressure and doesn't smoke or leak. I have attached a photo of the front pad of the block showing the last 9 digits of the VIN and also a photo of the suffix code of HO that were stamped in the block from the factory. The casting number is 3914678.
• The transmission is a Turbo 400 automatic that shifts good, doesn't leak or slip.
• The original independent Corvette rear end is under the car and it feels like it has around a 3.42 gear ratio.
• The factory Ram Horn cast iron exhaust manifolds are in good shape and run through dual exhaust out the back of the car.
• The car came from the factory with air conditioning but is currently missing the compressor, lines, etc.

• The car has all of the original independent front and rear suspension under it and it handles well.
• It has power steering that feels tight and responsive and power 4 wheel disc brakes that stop the car very well.
