This 1968 Chevrolet Corvette 327/350 convertible features a COPO paint and trim combination of British Green over Tobacco vinyl upholstery, a pairing that was not offered by the factory for the 1968 model year.
Power comes from a 327ci V8 paired with a four-speed close-ratio manual transmission.
The 327ci V8 features a chrome air cleaner and valve covers and was factory rated at 350 horsepower.
A transistorized ignition was equipped from the factory.
The last eight digits of engine stamping 18S420696 match the final eight digits of the serial number plate beneath the windshield.
The code to the right, contains an HT suffix, indicating a 350-horsepower 327ci L79 V8 for use with a manual transmission.
Power is sent to the rear wheels via a Muncie M21 close-ratio four-speed manual transmission and a 3.70:1 Posi-traction rear axle.
Delivered from the factory in British Green (983), the fiberglass bodywork have been repainted once.
Tinted glass was ordered from the factory, and additional features include chrome bumpers, a driver-side mirror, and dual-exit exhausts.
The black soft top features a plastic rear window.
The 15″ Rally wheels wear chrome center caps and beauty rings and are mounted with Firestone Super Sports redline bias-ply tires.
The four-wheel independent suspension utilizes coil springs up front and a transverse leaf spring setup out back.
Braking is handled by four-wheel discs.
The interior features bucket seats upholstered in Tobacco vinyl (435) along with a matching dash pad, door panels, and carpets.
Equipment includes a Delco push-button AM/FM radio, a heater, and lap belts.
The steering wheel is mounted on a tilt steering column ahead of a 160-mph speedometer and a 7k-rpm tachometer.
Ancillary gauges for fuel level, water temperature, oil pressure, and battery voltage are mounted in the center stack along with an analog clock.
The five-digit odometer shows just over 55k miles.
