I have 2 '68 Verts right now and used to own 2 '69 Verts.. Didn't notice any major difference except for the one year parts.. A 38 - 39 year old car will rattle anyways 
IMHO, 68's and 69's were the nicest looking C3's (I specifially like the side vents. The later egg crate grills on chrome bumpered C3's are not my favorites. I was never too much into the plastic bumper C3's except for the '80 - '82 Vettes.. Still nice, but I still prefer '68 - 69 and '80 - '82

I couldn't agree more with everything you said. 68 and 69 were the original sharks and have always been my favorite. Love my 68 for the 4 red taillights, key in the dash,push button doors, and the elimination of the stingray emblem. I think they are the cleanest looking of the bunch.

It was used as a reference post in another thread asking about the 68 difference between it and a 69.

....used to be "Ugh, a '68" at Corvette/Car shows due to the bad rap for years...
...now that the "84" has worked it's way into what used to be the '68's status, now at Corvette/Car shows you get " , look, a '68!!!"

68 cars are the best for several reasons.
Clean styling closest to the Mako Shark idea with minimal "bling"
Many engine options
great colors
more verts than coupes (the last year for this)
dash mounted key
Huge racing ability, the 68 cars dominated AP racing for a while...
