Default For Sale - 1968 Corvette Convertible BIG PROJECT

1968 Corvette Convertible. NICE BODY 3500.00 With Title
This is a big project. The car started off to be a frame off, but the body shop didn't get it finished. The body was done and blocked. The door jams have been painted a gold based red candy color. When the body shop closed they just through the parts in the car. I'm sure there are lots of parts missing. Major parts that I know are missing are the frame, headlight assemblies, the folding convertible top frame, steering column and??.

It has a 327 engine that is parcially disassembled, turbo 400 transmission. The front suspension and steering components are there. Also included are the rear trailing arm assemblies but the trailng arm ends have been cut off so they need replaced. 1968 seats are in the car. Lots of parts included.

HAS TITLE (issued to last owner in 1983)

Located in Des Moines, Iowa

Twenty years later, I MIGHT have the passenger seat cleared out!

Way too much work for me to handle, but might make a great hobby for someone. Good luck with the sale.
