Are you kidding?? I own a '68. There's a ton of parts that no C3 owner other than those that own a '68 would recognize.

Unfortunately I can't post pictures because the parts are all attached to my car.

Stock original never split bumper. All of my paint came from St. Louis and there are zero stress cracks.

This is what happens when you buy a car new and keep it forever........

I'd wager a guess that it looks like the bracket that holds the power steering pump onto the motor...Can't really tell for sure because of the angle.

Here's a tough one ... common to so many Corvettes ... but rarely shown.
You would have to have seen my posts over the years to get this
on the first guess.
You must guess the part of the vette ... no generic reply like "rust".


Yes, I used to be a hand model in my early years.
