Looking for pictures of "68" convertible painted the original Corvette Bronze color. Maybe with the dark Orange interior.

I would love to paint my 68 that color, but with a dark blue interior I dont think it will work.

Default Would my 'Baby Vette do?

Not very many Vettes were painted Corvette Bronze and a lesser amount of 1968 Camaros were painted with that option.......pretty color....but not many on the forum either or anywhere else

Fantastic. Thank you. I am in the process of a frame off and this is the code on the tag. Thought I would put it back to original sense all the little pieces are there. Not much missing after all these years.

Some of the camarros had the same engines as the Vettes...both are beloved by their owners. How does a Camarro drive compared to a Corvette? Is it the difference between independent suspension and solid rear axle suspension and more road type engineering? I used to love Camarrows thinking I'd never be able to afford a Vette.

My buddy's dad had a 60000 mile original 68 Z/28 in that color a few years back. I loved that color. That car was unusual in that is was a no console, no tach or gauges car.

They drive and handle almost the same either round 'D round or straight line...and they do have SHP Corvette power...This one is a L 72 'IP 1966 Corvette 427 engine that never made it to a Corvette and was sidetracked to me....with a T400 automatic and a 4.1 gear

I've seen this car in person. Duffy's is about 20 minutes from me.
It is an amazing color. Really fits in with the colors today.

My 68 coupe is Corvette Bronze. The second-most-asked question I hear is "What color is that?"(first is "Is that a Stingray?")

Seems to be a rare color, as I have only seen one other Vette with the same color. That was at the Midnight at the Oasis show in Yuma some years back. Guy had a stunning 68 Corvette Bronze vert, it definitely gave me some incentive to get my car done
