1968 Chevrolet Corvette C3 Convertible Stingray

Here is a wonderfully engaging 1968 Chevrolet Corvette C3 Convertible Stingray that captures the excitement of the most pivotal year in Corvette history. Finished in striking Red over a sharp black interior with a crisp white convertible top, this numbers-matching 327/350HP example pairs timeless Stingray styling with the engaging character of its desirable 4-speed manual. As the very first year of the iconic C3 body style — and the highest production year for the Stingray convertible — it carries the rarity and provenance discerning collectors prize.
