That deserves a closer look. Could be a contender for a nice ride.

Go in with your eyes open -

"1968- 350/4Speed, Rebuilt Engine, less than an hour running time, new center force clutch, car comes with everything to get on the road. too many new parts to list, please call for details"

350 CID or HP?

Sounds like a project

Default 68 is the year of the shark

i have a 68, these are the only C3 not named a "Stingray" make sure you check the numbers with the NCRS book or the production manual. depending on where the car is and how it was stored over the past 40 year the frame over the rear wheels is known for rusting from the inside/out. it is also a car with a lot of one year only parts. so a lot of parts off other c3s won't fit on it. If your intent is to get it to original it will cost and some parts are nearly impossoble to get. just a couple thoughts, good luck.
