68 Vert, originally a 427 4spd, currently a 327 4 spd. Hopes to become a 427 6spd when it grows up.
Update: She is now a 427 with a 5 spd.

I have an all original, Matching Numbers, 454 Big Block, Side Pipe 68 Coupe. It keeps failing NCRS judging though.
All kidding aside, I got a 68 and the only frustrating thing is the amount of one year only parts related to it. My car was originally a big block car that engine went away a long time ago, I am dropping 454 into it when it gets back from the machine shop, most of the restoration is done and once engine and 4 speed go back in it, I start on the interior. Its been a four year restoration for me. I can see the light at the end of the tunnel!

468 Big Block, Tremec TKO600, 3.55 rear. F41 springs and 7 inch bolts in the rear. The wheels are 17x8 with 255/50s rear and 245/45 on the front. The interior is pretty much stock except for the radio, nothing under the hood is correct, and neither is the hood. And to top it off the color is not correct. I love it!

With all the 1968 Corvette thread activity on the Forum lately - trying to keep track of the members here who owns '68s. I know a few but am sure there are lots more. If you own one (or 2 or 3 or more) let me know - coupe/ convertible, drivetrain combo, etc.... Love the 68s'. 
Thanks for your time..

'68 coupe, 327/40 over, automatic transmission, "satin black" (primer black) with saddle interior but will go back to the original British green exterior. We've had it since 1978 but stored for 20 years and have finished a 2 year restoration. She is driven daily and we LOVE it!!!
