WTT C3 convertible 427/400 Tri-power for C5 convertible
Looking to trade my 1968 Polar White/Gunmetal 427/400 Tri-power convertible. Trade value is $38,500 (offers considered). I would like to TRADE FOR A LOW MILEAGE 2003 or 2004 Corvette convertible with automatic trans.
My big block convertible is not a restored show car but a VERY nice driver well sorted out with solid frame and birdcage. Tons of money spent on mechanical and electrical restoration. You will see it has the big block radiator and big block power train, most suspension components, and a single fuel line exclusive to tri-power. The odometer reads 92,300+.
This Corvette is documented as a Dealer Code 500––Zone 0 delivery at the Chevrolet Central Office. It was most likely ordered for publicity/promotional use or perhaps a GM executive. The Vette was assembled on 9/8/1967 and just might be the first 1968 Corvette optioned with the L68 tri-power engine and Turbo-hydramatic transmission. Extensive research has not located one earlier than mine.
Options on my C3 are: L68 tri-power engine (rebuilt and matching numbers). Turbo-hydramatic (Code C 68 L ). Positraction (Code AW W\G25 E1). Power steering (big block). Power brakes. Power windows. Telescopic column. AM/FM Delco radio. Headrests. Soft Ray tinted windows (all). Extra parts include original steering wheel. Pass side original dash panel. New door panels. 15 inch wheels and derby caps. Plus more.
For more details and photos, call Larry at 269-962-1788 or email larry@thevettenet.com THANK YOU!

IMHO, (and it is only my opinion cause either way she is gorgous) If she sat about 2 inches lower, and had a fat a$$ set of rear tires stretched over a set of Deep dish rims she would POP! Cut about 3 inches off the rear exhaust pipes as well. I love the early C3;s and really like this one. I wish you luck man.

Man, when I see your and Birdman's cars up for a C5 trade, I almost wish mine was a convertible. Or in his case, a manual.
Good luck with this sale. Practically everything I've ever wanted on a C3 right here with this beauty.

Thanks for the compliments. Someone will be getting a very special 1968 tri-power convertible.
