I never got to check it out completly because someone else bought it.
Original owner stated he bought car new in 69, had it ever since, garaged it
but now his knees are shot and he could no longer drive it.

Well, possibly a NOM, either that or he simply replaced the small block hood with a big block version. Also, sidepipes were not offered in '68, I think.

Too bad you missed out. It looks like a good deal for 10k.

Even if sidepipes were available in 68 it wouldn't be those-they were Hookers I think.

i mixed up the colors when refilling the ink cartridges on my printer, i thought cyan was red (cyan pepper). put cyan where the magenta went and the magenta for cyan. when i printed out a picture of an orange 1955 chevy pickup, it came out a lime green just about like the '68 Vette shown above. my 16 year old daughter loved it and has the picture on her bedroom wall.
Bill :lol: :cool:

Wow, sorry you missed out. I agree with you that the green needed to go. Not too fond of the pin strips either. Maybe another '68 will surface. Keep looking! :seeya
