C3 Convertible • Factory Big Block • Chrome Bumper Model • 454 Gen IV V8
For sale is one of the most desirable Corvette generations ever built – an early 1968 Chevrolet Corvette C3 Convertible from the very first model year, featuring the iconic chrome bumpers and built as an original factory Big Block vehicle.
The car is now equipped with a powerful Chevrolet 454 Gen IV replacement engine.
The elegant combination of deep red paint and a black interior perfectly highlights the timeless design of the first C3 generation. The long hood, muscular fenders and chrome bumpers have made these early C3 models highly sought-after collector's and enthusiast's cars.
Over the past several years, the Corvette has been continuously maintained, mechanically cared for and regularly driven. It is not a restoration project, but a fully roadworthy Corvette that is ready to be enjoyed immediately for touring, classic car events or weekend drives.
An independent appraisal dated December 2023 rates the vehicle as Condition Grade 2 with an appraised value of €70,000.
