Vette(s): 1968 coupe
If any of you can help, I am looking for a 68 big block coupe to replace the one that was totalled for me. I can't afford a show car. I don't mind doing some work, but drivable would be nice. Motor/trans is optional as I believe they survived the crash and I still have what's left. I am near Columbia, South Carolina for reference. If anyone has any leads, please pass them along, and thanks!

It is a sweet looking car. I'm hunting for a coupe, and at 20k and "reserve not met" it may be on the north side of my price range, anyway. Thanks for the tip!

I have now located a 69 that closely resembles my 68. It should be here and delivered in about 10 days if all goes well. A few folks expressed an interest in parts from the wrecked 68. If you are looking for something specific, let me know. The new car is supposed to be 99% complete and in good order. We'll see what happens...

I may be interested in a few pieces, I need a 3 groove top pulley, alternator bracket, bracket for proportioning valve......... I also have a friend with a pretty sad 68 big block, he will need a bunch of stuff, Have you considered selling the whole car?

I certainly have. The most valuable piece is the 1967 427 hi-horse engine. All of the fiberglass is toast save the driver's door, which is intact. Most of the interior was in good used condition. With my new baby on the way, I am looking for a buyer for all of it, whether all at once or one at a time. One-stop shopping doesn't sound bad!

sorry to hear about the vett, the picture shows a lot of back end damage. Hope no one was hurt.

There is a couple on E-Bay right now. I believe one was a 69 - 427/390 HP. I is a re-paint coupe I believe, but nice.

There's usually a good selection of cars on CollectorCarTraderOnline.com. Click on the Buy button in the Vehicles grid, fill in a few criteria, and then let the drooling begin! |laugh|

fyi - I just did a search for '68-'69 and it returned 200 ads.

I'd always sell for the right price, but I'm afraid mine is a little pricy for what you're looking for. Will keep my eyes open for one. I look at the picture and say "oh my god!" That one had to hurt.
