I wouldn't call it a plain Jane . Black is beautiful. I had one just like it . Sold it to a guy in Ohio and the poor thing got stolen out of his garage . He never got it back.

Wow Jeff, less is more in this case! Fantastic uncluttered first c3 lines! Love 'em.

Hey Bats, you could remove the ignition and steering locks and shave the cylinder off, then glass it smooth, It would look smart and you could just rewire the old ignition wires into a 68 plug,..... or leave the keys in the column but put a button in the 68 dash as a push button start, remove the crank wire in the switch so it only has the button for cranking

If I was considering a 68 the Stingray emblems on the sides would be so far down my list of concerns as to be irrelevant.

Yes if the emblems were there already but i would NOT add them to a 68 Vette.

I like the teak wheel, and the rear tail and backup light configuration on the 68. Looks nice with no Stingray script and no side vent covers. But what I like more about my 69 is that every part is readily available, often from multiple vendors which keeps cost down for me as I drive and maintain the car.

The only part i know of not avail is the 68 door lock mechanism.

Cool. I thought there were more items. Ignition on the dash is also cool.

Well I had the inspection teed up for tomorrow, car is in another state, and the seller sold it without showing me the bid. Pretty bummed out over it. Car looked reasonably priced.... this search is brutal. Back to the searching board.

Sorry to hear that! Just wasn't meant to be! You'll find the one for you.

Thats my favorite difference with the C3 !!!!! The ignition on the dashboard !!!!! 68s RULE THE C3s !!! JMO

What's funny when the 69's came out people liked the ignition on the steering column because it looked more modern but what goes around comes around and with more popularity the second time .

Thanks for the kind words. My old car is a true piece of Americana. A 427 4 speed with 3:36 posi makes for a great car.

The car was pretty rough when I got it. I gave it to my brother-in-law to replace the top, install weatherstrips and basically finish the car.

I am easily $50K into it... The paint is flawless and might be $15K today... Every panel was reworked; the gaps a perfect.
It's pretty much stock. As I get older, this is how I like 'em.

Guys I'm sorry, but I think the Stingray badge on the side is cool as hell, ....Its like my Gibson guitar, sure there are other great guitars out there , but the Gibson script is a big selling point.
