I am not very fond of the hatchback look , but other than that I think the car is really nice. A ton of time probably went into that build.

If it wasn't for people like this thinking out of the box, there might never have been a C3 Corvette. I'm sure there were plenty of people bitching and moaning about how they ruined the corvette in 1968.

Aside from the two exhaust systems and that horrid thing on the back it is pretty nice.

Looks like a culmination of two peoples ideas, that tumor looking thing on the back ruins an otherwise nicely done "Custom Corvette", The exhaust is nasty also, but not even close to that mistake of a hatch (?),

76Rat, you are wrong there. Everyone loved the 1968 Corvette, for the most part. It won Motor Trends "Car of the year" award. They complained about less space to store stuff in the back. Lou.
