Sounds interesting. You will want the original fan clutch and valve covers. Water pump too, unless it died.
The steering wheel only looks like wood. It's plastic unless the seller has replaced it.
Good luck.

I think the price sounds very reasonable from your description. A Corvette convertible with two chrome bumpers, 1st model year version, and only $14,000? I think there are other potential buyers who are not thinking twice on this purchase.

Ok so I picked up the car yesterday, and as I am looking at I am wondering how rare is this car? The vin number is 00128. Is this one of the first convertible 68? By a vin date decoder it is showing sept 6 1967.. Any feedback would be great

Rare? No. Early? Yes. First or second day of production. If memory serves, the coupes did not get into production until January, 1968, so all the early '68s were convertibles.
