Had no idea BK3 was going to give one away and pay postage. His generosity is another example of the good side to our hobby.

I do have another '68 manual - but kind of rough (lots of patina) LOL - all there (except half CN card) has ripped cover, clear tape over the binding on the cover, first edition Aug. '67. '68 Corvette lettering on cover colored in with black marker. Was from my early model '68 Vette (s/n 245) I wrote the s/n on page 3. back in the '80s. I should just throw this away but someone might want it. Corey'68 has first crack then Flyeri (or anybody else after if Corey or Flyeri refuse). I can e-mail pics to show condition. If no interest it will be off to the recycling bin. BK3 Same offer - no charge - I will pay for the ride. How can you lose???

I own a 68 that I am restoring back to original as possible. Can I be 4th in line? I do not have a manual. Thanks in advance.

Absolutely, gentlemen. Just keep in mind this one is not too pretty. But I guess it is better than nothing. BK3

Appreciate the offer man, very generous of you. You can let anyone of the other guys have it, I'll probably pick one up at the NCRS convention next month.

Again, appreciate the offer.

Default Thank you

I received the owners manual yesterday and I must say it was in better shape than advertised.
I thanked BKVETTE3 in a private message but wanted to thank him publicly for his kind offer and generosity. I don't know BKVETTE3 personally but I do know something about his character. He chose generosity over profitt this speaks a lot about his character. We are very fortunate to have him as a member of this form.

Thank you, Blair K.
