'68 Corvette, #s 427/390hp Original Paint Convertible
 
In Corvette Bronze, no less. Sweet car and looks to be in well preserved condition, including the paint. Needs some cosmetics on the interior, and for God's sake, the "Linglong" tires, really? But overall, a few weekends' worth of work would do wonders.

----Not sure but don't think anyone has reproduced 68 door panels. That color will be hard to find (good used). The only choice might be to dye a decent black one. On the other hand seat covers are around.....Bill S

----Just checked Al Knochs website and he does have 68's but not in that color. Maybe a possibility that he could be persuaded!

Bill, I had a Gunmetal interior ‘68 and the factory dyed the Gunmetal color on black panels due to low demand.

Love LOVE that colour!

Love the car and the color. Not sure where the seller gets the 1 of 3 cars. Corvette Bronze was the 4th most popular color in 68.

Door panels will be tough, but we got seat covers for my son's car and they were nice.

Very tempting...

----Was looking at the pics again and noticed that the rubber gasket under the antenna is painted. That area, if not more is not original paint as the gasket would never be painted.....Bill S

Wow, less than 2 hours left and only at 24k.
I was ready to start bidding until I saw it was an automatic...:no:

Mr70 12-01-2020 12:05 AM

$24,200.00 now ;)

Too Many Projects 12-01-2020 12:33 AM

Should I start schill bidding...:grin:

Mr70 12-01-2020 01:31 AM

One person really wanted it at the end..3 separate bids in the final 3 minutes.

Too Many Projects 12-01-2020 02:31 AM

Usually the way it works. If I was serious, the last 3-4 seconds would have been my high bid too. $25,100 is probably a decent price for the car and the new owner can have fun and not break the bank.

I've, actually, been looking at that color for my '38. In bc/cc it would probably pop even more. Really like a shiny copper color.

WOW... SOLD, the car and the color. That really lights up with the clear.
Thanks for instigating me to work on the coupe now too...:grin:
