   The ‘68 was not called a Stingray and is unique of all the C3s

    Remember the L88?


This car has 30+ years in and out of storage with several moves...


I’ve also posted a couple of pictures of my Corvette/projects; they are not for sale, so please don’t ask. My babies!


This started as a father/son project, but because of Dad’s health (he’s nearly 70), financial considerations, and storage reasons he is certain it would not get completed. And, I’m busy with my ’67.


  • Factory original engine was:  a 327 SBC, 300 HP with 4 speed gearbox
  • It now has:  a rebuildable 454 BBC resides with a 4 speed gearbox


  • I have another “010” standard bore, 350, 4-bolt main block and also the coil springs that may go with it or swap?  (read further)
  • Also, a complete vintage ‘68 350HP 396 could be included or purchased separately (read further)


  • This car has power steering, power brakes, non-air, manual windows
  • Cleaning house...Interior pieces are in several boxes with spare parts. 

  I will box up and seal to protect them in transit

  • Front and rear sway bars
  • 4 wheel disc brakes
  • Two sets of wheels: Original Rally and American Racing
  • Hardtop only (perfect for a an ’68 L88 clone!)
  • New BBC headers in box
  • New Front end clip, temporarily attached in place
  • “427” Original big block hood with trim and emblems! (Worth nearly $1000.00 +/- by itself.)
  • Frame is in good shape with surface rust only (no rust outs)
  • Spare tire cover in good shape with original jack and handle
  • Body was stripped bare, several layers of primer applied and some areas are sanded smooth
  • New door pins/bushings installed in the hinges years ago


I may have missed something, but to my knowledge, I believe that is most of it. Please feel free to ask questions before bidding. I will do my best to answer them. I am not an expert by any means, but love these cars. I wish things were different and I was a bit younger, too, LOL... Barely enough time to work on my cars and ride my bike! If you are serious and are close to the St. Louis, Missouri area, you may arrange to see the car. Sorry for only posting exterior pictures, but the car is currently in storage.  The majority of the interior is boxed up in my father’s basement. These pictures were taken in the fall of 2013 at my house while we were cleaning the car.  We were waiting for Spring when the project season begins, but now have decided to let the car find a new home instead.


We have a dollar number in mind (above reserve); if the price meets our figure then the extra engines (mentioned earlier in this post) will be included for the new owner.  There is an extra 4 speed, too.  But, I think that the 4 speed needs some attention.  However, if the car doesn’t meet our figure during the auction, the extra engines, etc listed above would not be included.  They would be for sale separate from this auction.  Please inquire if you have questions.


I will assist in loading the parts and the car. BUT, it is the responsibility of the purchaser to incur any and all expenses related to shipping and or damages. There are no guarantees in life, none on this vehicle, and no warranty is implied or given as well. This Corvette is nearly 50 years old. So, please understand this is a huge undertaking and only the experienced should consider it. Chevrolet only produced 18,630 convertibles in 1968.


I reserve the right to sell the car locally, but only AFTER this Ebay auction has ended, if the car didn’t meet reserve.  I will not entertain any funny business, “lookie Lous”, or tire kickers! I have a 100% positive feedback.  


If you bid and win, you’ve purchased this car. I can retain the storage until the end of March 2014. Otherwise, additional expenses will be incurred by the new owner/purchaser. Once the car is paid for, in full, then additional storage time could be addressed for a later pick up.  A $1,000.00 payment is required to my Paypal account within 24 hours of auction’s end, period.  The balance shall be paid to me, via cash, M.O., or a cashier’s check within 7 calendar days after deposit. No refunds and no excuses please. The payment must be cleared before I will release the car and the title.


Thank you for your time to review this auction.  Happy bidding!  Remember, this is supposed to be fun and, it’s nearly spring, so... lets go!


Good luck, 

Scott

2014 Chevrolet Malibu gets more torque, more room and inspiration from the Impala

Fri, 31 May 2013

The 2014 Chevrolet Malibu, having stared at the Impala across the showroom floor for a year, gets nips and tucks all over inspired by its larger brother. The 2.5-liter four-cylinder in the base car will get a stop-start system and 23 city miles per gallon, 35 highway, each number representing a one-mpg improvement over the 2013 car. Output is 196 horsepower and 186 pound-feet of torque.
Opt for the 2.0-liter turbo and, while power holds steady at 259 hp, torque goes up by 14 percent to a striking 295 lb-ft (a figure Chevy calls best in the class). The final details include newly programmed transmission shift points and faster shifts, for better engaging and enjoying the added power.
Looks-wise, the grille's been reshaped to be more in line with the new Chevrolet look, a narrower upper grille hovering over a larger lower grille.

Race Recap: 2013 Twelve Hours of Sebring, cakewalk up front, grindfest out back [w/spoilers]

Tue, 19 Mar 2013

This year's 12 Hours of Sebring wasn't exactly a foregone conclusion because we're still talking about racing, and anything can happen when the speeds are as high as the adrenaline and the desire. But we're still talking about Audi bringing it's two top-spec racers - and its huge budget and its nearly neurotic attention to detail - to a race that it uses as a test bed for The 24 Hours of Le Mans and as a way to open the endurance racing season with a victory.
Besides, 12 hours is a long time, especially at Sebring, and things didn't go all Audi's way. On top of that, although it was a pretty quiet race, behind the Audis things got even grimier, with plenty of battles, plenty of mechanical issues, and the new BMW Z4 GTE and Viper GTS-R being race tested. Oh, and that brand new chromed-out DeltaWing...

More Corvette Stingray Factoids: Vanishing panel gaps and 26-mpg LT1

Thu, 28 Feb 2013

During January's Detroit Auto Show, we managed a longer than expected wandering tag-team interview with C7 Corvette chief engineering exec Tadge Juechter (pictured above), and LT1 engine boss Jordan Lee (pictured below). They are, quite honestly, two of the very nicest bigshot lads to ever walk the engineering corridors of an American manufacturer. Both are enthralled by what they're doing for a day job. So are we.
We've followed the pre-sale anticipation for the Chevrolet C7 Corvette Stingray like an Oreck vacuum yanking every speck of dirt from a well-trampled carpet. Everything is reportable and contains a grain of further knowledge about this dramatically important and cheered-for car, as it continues to be pressured into representing all that is superior about the American dream. The Corvette wears one heavy cloak.
So, most of what was talked about has been expertly reported already right here on Autoblog. But, looking through our notes again, both Jeuchter and Lee added facts to the buzzing mix.
