Gateway Classic Cars of Houston

Gateway Classic Cars Houston Showroom is proud to present this 1968 Chevrolet Corvette. The 1968 Chevrolet Corvette (L36) marks the birth of the third generation, known as the C3, a turning point in the Corvettes lineage. That year, Chevrolet introduced a completely redesigned body, reimagined interior, and new roof options. Coupes gained removable T-top roof panels and a removable rear window, allowing for a semi-open air experience. The front styling adopted a longer, more pointed nose, with vacuum-operated hideaway headlights and flush door handles with push-button releases. Behind the front wheels are functional louvers, and a new ventilation system dubbed "Astro-Ventilation" was added. Before you is a bronze 1968 Corvette that carries those C3 hallmarks boldly. Its exterior Bronze paint catches light so that the sweeping curves-from the coved fenders to the rear hips-stand out in every direction. The roof includes T-tops, which when removed open up the cabin overhead for a fresh air drive. The profile shows the front fender vents and the stretched silhouette, recalling how Chevrolet reshaped the Corvette for that model year.Inside the car, the interior is trimmed in black vinyl. The seats, dashboard, and door panels present that classic contrast of the bold exterior and darker cabin. A working AM/FM radio resides in the dash, offering that period-appropriate sound. On the safety front there are seat belts provided for occupants.Mechanically this Corvette is equipped with a 427 CID V8 engine mated to a Muncie 4-speed manual transmission. Power steering aids control and maneuvering, and power brakes are fitted. The wheels wear hub caps over radial tires that accent the cars footprint, and the overall stance gives a sense of the Corvettes sporting ambitions without overstatement.This is a car that embodies the 1968-C3 Corvette style features: the aggressive lines, the dramatic roof options, the presence of performance-oriented systems like power steering and brakes, and the interior designed for driver engagement. If you appreciate automotive design, collectible value, or simply the joy of driving a Chevrolet classic, this orange 1968 Corvette shows a lot of what makes that generation special.
