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

CNG Chevy Impala launch delay grows to a year

Fri, Jun 12 2015

The 2015 Chevrolet Impala Bi-Fuel was announced in Washington D.C. in late 2013 by Dan Akerson and was supposed to be on sale by the summer of 2014. Capable of running on gasoline and compressed natural gas, the sedan was said to offer a novel solution at a time when gas prices were high. The vehicles still haven't arrived at dealers, though, and according to Automotive News, a quality issue has set back the launch even a few months more. Using a modified 3.6-liter V6 with hardened valves and valve seats, the Bi-Fuel Impala has separate tanks for gasoline and CNG that it can switch between on the fly. When running on the cheaper natural gas, the sedan was estimated to get 19 miles per gallon in the city and offer 150 miles of range, and the total driving distance was predicted at around 500 miles. The base price was set at $38,210, after the $825 destination charge. The only other major tradeoff was a smaller trunk to accommodate the extra fuel. However, the first shipments of the bi-fuel models now aren't expected until mid-July – about a year later than the scheduled launch. A memo to dealers obtained by Automotive News said the sedan "has been delayed by a second quality hold" to look at the CNG system. The exact details surrounding this problem haven't been released. "We have identified a solution to the delay and are working hard to implement it within the next few months," General Motors spokesperson Chad Lyons said to Automotive News. Around 200 Bi-Fuel Impalas have been made, but none are yet in the hands of customers. Dealers should be able to order 2016 model year examples starting in the third quarter of this year.
