Believed to be the only one in existence in this color combination, this 3 owner 1968 COPO Corvette is extremely original and extensively documented. In the care of the fanatical original owner until 2009, this car has led a pampered as evidenced by the nearly mint condition original door panels and seat covers. The amount of documentation accompanying this car is immense, and even includes correspondence between the original owner and the factory. COPO Corvettes are rare, but one this original and with this much history is truly a find. CF member deal $45,000 obo

Wow, beautiful. How long have you personally owned it?

Very nice looking car. Is it a 300 or 350 horsepower 327? Power steering or brakes?

Can you post the trim tag...thanks...

TTViper

The car is a L79 (350hp) and the original owner was named Rickard Nixon (no joke). He owned the car from 1968-2009 and have owned the car since 2013.

I will post the trim tag as soon as I can.

I saw it for sale through a high end dealer a few years ago and was tempted as that has got to be my favorite C3 color combination of all time, but I couldn't bring myself to buy something that unique and that original since I drive mine constantly and nothing I buy stays stock long Good luck with the sale.....she really is a stunning car!!

I should mention Denny Marshall (Chair of NCRS St. Louis Chapter) inspected this car for me when I purchased. I think he knows a thing or two about classic corvettes and he told me this car was very original and the interior was one of the best he's seen. His notes can be found below.

Thanks for those!

I like how the steering wheel is almost a dead-on match to the tobacco.
