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

Trophy truck chases Sasquatch driving a side-by-side for Recoil 3

Fri, Nov 13 2015

Last year's Recoil 2 video of BJ Baldwin blasting through the outskirts of Ensenada, Mexico, in his trophy truck was already a fantastic improvement over the original clip. For the third installment in the series, he and his amazing camera team somehow turn up the excitement even higher. Rather than going back to the desert, Baldwin heads into the woods of the Pacific Northwest for some Sasquatch hunting in Recoil 3. Not only is the mythical beast quite real in this video, but it's apparently quite good at piloting a side-by-side too. The result is a high-speed chase through the forest that eventually moves to the urban jungle. Like in the previous Recoil clips, Baldwin showcases his amazing control over the 800-horsepower truck, and the suspension soaks up serious punishment from some huge jumps. The cinematography makes the stunts look even more exhilarating by always showing the perfect angle of the action.

Recharge Wrap-up: Chevy teases Bolt driving range, China pursues EV subsidy cheaters

Tue, Sep 13 2016

Chevy is teasing the Bolt's driving range, which it is set to reveal on Tuesday. It will certainly be able to travel more than 200 miles between charges, but the second and third digits in that value, as it stands today, are still question marks. On its Facebook page, Chevrolet is asking fans to try to guess the official range. Of course, Tesla fans have already started posting their own snide remarks in the comments. Chevy fans are certainly hoping to see the Bolt's range eclipse that of Tesla's upcoming Model 3, which the California-based automaker puts at 215 miles. See Chevy's post on Facebook to make your own guess, or check back there (or here at AutoblogGreen) for the official number once it is unveiled. Fuel cell company PowerCell Sweden says it has signed an agreement with a Chinese company to make range extenders for commercial trucks. The unnamed Chinese customer has placed an order and signed a memorandum of understanding with PowerCell Sweden, and the partners will develop methanol reformer fuel cell range extenders for electric distribution trucks. "Our unique expertise in fuel cells and reformer technology is receiving an increasing attention worldwide and we are truly pleased to get another Chinese order," says PowerCell Sweden Sales Director Andreas Boden. Read more at Green Car Congress, or from PowerCell. China is accusing major automakers of violating EV subsidy rules. After the country's Ministry of Finance penalized five companies with fines and, in one case, revocation of production license for subsidy cheats, China has since named 20 more potential violators, including Nissan, Hyundai, JAC, and a subsidiary of BYD. Of the first five companies to be punished under the investigation, Suzhou Gemsea Coach Manufacturing is having its production license revoked, while four others, including a subsidiary of Chery, are being fined for about half of the subsidies received. The scandal is bad new for China's subsidy program, which has helped spur sales of plug-in vehicles. Read more from Fortune, or at Hybrid Cars.

2022 Genesis GV70, raging at VW ID.4 tech and thoughts on a new Lexus LFA | Autoblog Podcast #696

Fri, Sep 17 2021

In this episode of the Autoblog Podcast, Editor-in-Chief Greg Migliore is joined by Senior Editor James Riswick. This week, they talk about driving the Genesis GV70, VW ID.4 and VW Taos. They talk about ways Chevy could "fix" the Camaro. James ranked all the James Bond films based solely on their starring cars. Next, they reach in the mailbag and discuss the question, "Do you think Lexus will make a successor to the LFA and, if so, what do you guys think it would be like?" After ruminating on that query, they dip into the mailbag a second time to recommend a sporty crossover to a listener in this week's Spend My Money segment.
