The '68 for 7500 is a REAL project. powertrain out of car, and some components off frame. He started resto to sandblast frame. A very early C3 - #1115 off line, but I'll probably pass on it and spend more upfront. I want a running car. I'm seeing some '68/'69 running drivers well under 15k.

Vette(s): 1972 conv., sunfire yellow, blk interior, blk vinyl and convertible top. Off frame restoration with American Speed 383 stroker engine producing 500hp plus a 200hp NOS system. MSD ignition. Hooker super competition headers with chambered exhaust.
Bob, I think your wife made a good decision by passing on the 68. 
Certainly no offense to 68 owners, but some of the parts on a 68 are a one year deal. Unless you want to have the satisfaction of restoring a car your self, you're way ahead of the game to find one already restored and as you said, there's some great buys out there right now.

I don't think I can put the '68 back together. no wife since 1994
or I wouldn't even have the '74. She wanted me without possessions.

Lifetime MemberHeh Bob...see that yellow vert above your last post.....I met gentelman Jim down in the Carolinas and he took me for a little burn in that car! Yee Haw....my neck still ain't right. 383 stroker with NOS. Sweet Axed Ride! He searched a long time for that exact car, it came out of Nova Scotia. Guy built it for his wife....she sat in it and started it, shut it off and got out of it. To much cam thumpin for her
