~not ruffled at all.............just wanted you to know it's driven & not a trailer queen............could'nt agree with you more........after 3 years locked in the garage, how could you not drive it ?>although at one point i was paying $3.69 for super 93 a few months back per gallon plus 2 cans of octaine boost, @ only 6 MPG getting only 120 miles to the tank, it was costing near $100 to fill up & almost $1.00 per mile to drive.........talk about EXPENSIVE !!!!!!!!

Beautiful car
Two questions? Is the wood steering wheel (looks like wood) stock?
#2 The licence plate looks like the NY plates I recall seeing as a young lad......... Is that a special issue?
ps: can I please have your Corvette....my mother needs an operation

Yeah, they do want crazy prices for da smog!I thought the samething when putting my car back together. But, that damn fuel filter that sticks up like a sore thumb, bugged the hell out of me. Being a natural born cheapskate, I kept looking for smog parts for my 68 through the all the various sources availabe and finally came up with all the 68 pieces. I've got around $400.00 in it.
I'm not sure if it is true, I have heard that the smog being on does not have any effect on the horsepower

thats the stock wheel, it's the same as a 67, it's not wood, but rather simulated wood, it changed to black in 69 & was also one inch diameter smaller. The plates are original 1968 new york plates that i restored. Ny state allowes you if a car is older then 25yrs to use a plate from that era if the configuration is not being used. it gets registered as a "VINTAGE" PLATE....i got real lucky, found the plate that said "G0-1968" on e-bay it was not a personalized plate. it was just produced in that order, the next plate off the production line could have been "G0-1969" OR "GP-1968" AS "P" COMES AFTER "0" OR EVEN "F0-1968" AS "F" CAME BEFORE "0" ETC.........GOT A BETTER CHANCE OF GETTING HIT BY LIGHTENING THEN FINDING A PLATE THAT MATCHED THEY YEAR OF MY CAR THAT WASNT BEING USED THATS NOT A PERSONAL PLATE / MADE UP THAT WAY..........UNCERTAIN THEY HAD PERSONALIZED PLATES AVAILABLE IN THE 60'S ???? ANYWAY THERE YA GO.........ZIXXX PACKER

Thanks for the plate onfo, It brings back memories.
The state of CT plates are called "Early American" and I think they are nasty looking.
They have a little early 1900's buggy blah........
But it's pretty in-expensive
I believe about $22 a year.
