I hope this all fits, I'm selling my 68, not for the normal reasons, I want to build another one. If your looking for a stock, by the numbers, plain version, stop reading! Mine has been built well and is not stock.Darn near every piece on the car is new or rebuilt.It's a original California,Central Valley car, no rust.She runs and drives better than new, she won't overheat in summer or in traffic, she won't spill coolant on your garage floor or embarrass you at a car show, I converted a 327 coolant tank to an overflow tank and powder coated it. You get all reciepts in a binder. $28,000, the ONLY partial trade would be a 35-38 Plymouth 1/2 ton truck.....
So here it is:
1968 427/390 4spd M-21 Coupe..Vin 194378S427562
Power windows and Steering, no air car...

I'm sure I'm forgeting a lot of things, that's some highlights...





Here's what I think are the bad:
-Stupid clock does not work, forgot to check when it was apart!
-Speedo works great, odometer does not, again, ooops!
-Small crack in center of hood, anyone want to guess why! OOps!
-Drivers door light switch puched through a couple of months ago, havn't fixed it..
-I think it needs new glass in rear window, it's got a couple of scratches..
-paint and body work are 8 of 10, better than driver, but not perfect..

Well, since not any real interest on the forum, she's went on Flebay, maybe she will go to Australia or somewhere there's no rusting issues...
And thank you scott!!!

No sell on Fleabay, first 28,000 takes it. And theres twice that in new parts alone....

Funny you saw that, my wifes high school car, 67 with AC,front discs and pony interior. Soon as the Vette is gone we will repaint it back to stock dark blue, she's in great shape other than that powder blue crud..

I am partial to 68s,and your car is AWESOME!Now just isn't the time to be selling a car like yours.I will say this.....you may try vettenet,I think it was.My friend had a SUPER,SUPER low mile 78 L82 pace car,and was wanting around 34k for it.The guys here on the forum beat him up for like 6mths for asking that kinda money for a 78.vettenet asked him what he wanted for it,and he told him 34k,so the guy gets 995.00,listed it 34,995.00,and did his thing.9 days later.......my friend had 34k,and a new owner had one of the lowest mile Pace Cars in the world.Just a thought.
Merry Christmas!

Twist of Fate

Hmmmmm

I am in SoCal so you're not too far from me. Just bought a new car for my wife though. If my business stays strong in the next couple of months I should be in the market for a nice new toy so I'll keep your info on the back burner.
