In the long and storied history of Chevy's halo car, each of the Corvette's eight generations has been a wildly exciting event for enthusiasts worldwide. One look at this 1968 Chevrolet Corvette L79 Convertible, and it's easy to see why the C3's debut instantly made the bucket list of an entire generation just a little longer. With its Burgandy Metallic paint contrasted by its black vinyl convertible top, this numbers-matching L79 gets an aesthetic upgrade to its already beautiful exterior with the addition of an L88 hood and massive side pipes.
Inside, the black vinyl interior features the C3's signature massive speedometer and tach front and center of the driver, just beyond the three-spoke wood-rimmed steering wheel. A five-pod auxiliary gauge cluster sits atop the center console and displays fuel, water temperature, oil pressure, battery charge, and even an analog clock for timekeeping. Although non-functioning at the moment, this car does come set up with factory air conditioning. An upgraded Clarion head unit allows for cassette playing to complement its AM/FM reception.
Under that L88 hood, we find a numbers-matching 327 cubic-inch V-8 topped with a single four-barrel carburetor. Power from that small block is funneled through a numbers-matching Muncie four-speed manual transmission before being ushered out of that thunderous side-exit exhaust.
