*TURN THE KEY AND ENJOY NOW AS A super club car or incredible daily driver. Its not a showcar. The paint looks gorgeous from 5m away but has alot of chips (obviously for perfect paint it would be over 60K, for this price for a chrome bumper RHD manual its lucky to have any paint! The paint is nice quality, smooth, good shine, not faded but it does have alot of small chips)
Regrettable sale and only priced so cheap for quick easy sale as I have to sell my going cars to fund my main project.
**VIDEO OF THIS CAR DRIVING: SEE BELOW
All photos and videos taken at time of the advert.
I am actually a very sedate driver who has never lost a point so this video is an exception. In fact this car is so quick, it needs a better driver than me to show this car to its potential.
A VERY SOUGHT AFTER MODEL:
The phenomenal shape & style of the C3 is the most successful and popular of the corvette models and the chrome bumper stingray is the ultimate.
1968 is the first year the iconic C3 were released. There were only 28,000 made, and this car is at most one of only 6,500 just with one of its factory options the telescopic steering wheel.
High optioned car with 4 spd manual option instead of std 3spd, tilt telescopic steering wheel etc

CONDITION DETAILS
MECHANICALLY: EXCELLENT
This is an absolute dream to drive. Its scary quick and is a real beast.
STARTS EVERY TIME, FIRST TIME.
IDLES GREAT AND SOUNDS & DRIVES INCREDIBLE
Absolutely awesome V8 mean rumble sound of the true carby cars
Holley Avenger 670 4 barrel carby, Edelbrock alloy manifold intake with new extractors and new mild cam.
TONNES OF GRUNT - awesome take off acceleration. Cruises really smooth, just purrs along.
ENGINE BAY looks great with Chrome Air filter, Chrome radiator fan, Chrome corvette rocker covers (and also original ones included) etc
No leaks at all that I have seen.
I cannot read the engine number so I cannot say what engine is, but this car is priced cheap as a great daily driver, manual, RHD, chrome bumper to drive! not as a full original or showcar.
Brakes work awesome — Front and Rear Disc Brakes.
New Master cylinder, callipers and brake pads - since new have not done many miles.
Factory Upgraded 4 speed manual option from std 3spd — all gears change beautifully. Gear box reconditioned not many miles ago
Powersteering— feels great to drive. Tilt and Telescopic extra optioned steering column
TYRES– 4 Near new tyres 235 front, 245 rear.
Original Rally Chevrolet Rims. Rims excellent cond.
C3 Corvette Stingrays are remowned for reliability and also easy to get parts for. These chevs are considered virtually indestructible and are so reliable. I have owned a few now and can only agree with this having never had issues with any of them.

BODY IS IN EXCELLENT CONDITION
NO RUST
Very straight with almost no dents or dings anywhere
Dual front pop up headlights– both go down at switch, both go up manually but the extra cam has reduced vacuum so be better with electric motor to pop up.
Original Engine cooling vents.
Passenger side chrome mirror option
Chrome is all in lovely condition.
PAINT- STRIKING METALLIC RED BURGANDY
Quality paint job with great finish and looks superb a few metres away, still in great condition with no fading but does have very large number of small chips. It is not a show car but still makes an amazing impression as a daily driver or club car.
INTERIOR IN FANTASTIC CONDITION and looks stunning
*LUXURY LEATHER seats, look awesome and are super comfortable. One small split and tiny hole is only damage, otherwise have just normal age changes but are still soft and look great.
*Targa Tops in excellent condition and very easy to remove or put in.
*Headlining/sunvisors, dash etc in excellent condition.
Door/window rubbers excellent cond.
Carpet in excellent condition with only some areas mild color fading.
Door cards and lining look great with lovely chrome details and chrome corvette emblem handles. Couple small trim repairs not very noticeable.
*Original Corvette Radio that works - rare to ever find these. No aerial at present.
*Original Corvette Tilt AND Telescopic Steering Wheel.
*Power windows -all work fine
*Large storage area behind seats all carpeted, with parcel shelf and in excellent condition with extra 3 built in storage compartments accessible from front seats, one lockable.
*2 sets keys
*Light warning lamps on console for exterior indicators etc
*A/C switch but not sure how many components present. No compressor.
NOTHING TO DO FOR REGO that I am aware of except an electric motor for pop up lights. All lights, indicators etc working.
*Fully Road registered in Australia until very recently (only expired 2 months ago) so will not need anything to register it other than usual RWC .
