DESCRIPTION
This 1968 Chevrolet Corvette 427 Tri-Power showcases the first year of the C3 generation with its distinctive thumb door handles. Le Mans Blue paint coats the curvaceous body, accentuating every muscular line. The aggressive big block hood announces the powerhouse beneath. Chrome bumpers front and rear contrast brilliantly against the metallic finish. T-tops offer open-air freedom with coupe-like rigidity. Riding on 15\" silver painted steel wheels with beauty rings and center caps, this Corvette sports BFGoodrich Radial T/A tires sized 225/70R15 on all four corners. The removable rear window, a C3 hallmark, adds versatility to this American icon.
The cockpit wraps around the driver in true Corvette fashion. Medium blue vinyl covers the bucket seats, door panels, and dash, creating a cohesive, period-correct interior. A tilt steering column topped with the stock wood-rimmed wheel gives optimal control. The floor-mounted shifter and factory center console emphasize performance DNA. Original gauges populate the dash, while the factory AM/FM radio provides the soundtrack. Power windows add convenience to this muscle machine. A partial chrome roll cage bolsters safety without compromising the removable rear window functionality.
The 427 cubic inch V8 engine dominates the bay. Triple two-barrel carburetors crown this big block, delivering raw power and visual impact. Long tube headers feed into a Dynomax dual exhaust, producing a thunderous V8 roar. A Muncie 4-speed manual transmission harnesses the power, while the Corvette\'s signature independent rear suspension puts it to the pavement. Wilwood disc brakes at all four corners provide strong stopping power. Power steering ensures easy maneuverability despite the big block\'s mass. An aluminum intake manifold, MSD ignition system, and an oversized Griffin aluminum radiator round out the performance upgrades.
