I have seen this car on CF....some months back. LOTS of stuff wrong for a 68....looks like its been put together from a parts bin.
Seats are later highback, has a "Stingray" script on the fenders, side gills look to be 73 as is the nose emblem. Door handles are wrong, front grills are 70-71,steering column lock ignition, haven't figured out the hood, but doesn't look to be 68-72. Check out bidders questions, says it has 454 on the console but the seller says its a 350....I'm sure there is more, but I think its clear.....This is a car to stay away from........

Some one got hosed on this one. Hood is from a late 70's model. Lot's of stuff wrong. Guy must have worked in a vette junk yard and just pieced one together. Looks like a piece of @#$&*!
There should be a law against all of the rip off's going on with E-Bay. I purchased some visors a few years back that were advertised as excellent condition, the pictures didn't really show them that well. But when I got them, I didn't even bother, they were junk. Trashed them and wrote up the $35.00 lesson as one well burned. Don't do E-Bay that much since. To many rip off artist out there.

The exterior door handles are not the push button type like in '68 and check out the picture of the interior...it is all '70-'72 (seats, door panels, dash) and the ignition is mounted on the column. Even the seller (unintentionally, I'm sure) gives it away that it's not a '68 answering the question about the motor...the '68 had no console plate identifying the engine size. This is without a doubt a '70-'72 big block car changed to a small block with '73 and up side gills glassed in, later long hood and nose emblem off of a '74/'75. IMO the biggest problem this guy had was the VIN....the first 6 digits never existed according to the black book, no matter what year C3 it is.
