Jennifer is supposed to be Rally Red, but the painter in the 80s used a drop or two too much yellow, so she has a little bit of an orange hue, especially in evening light. Her interior is red vinyl, original.

Wife's "new to her" '68 Roadster, 327, 4Sp, soft and hard tops.
Yes, numbers match.
Crazed paint and nose pimples and all she loves her corvette just like it is. Put on a chambered exhaust so she can wake the neighbors.

The Mrs. made a very good choice.
She right leave it.
Enough overly restored corvettes both right and wrong out there.
Its nice to see one the way it left the factory.

Your '68 is a beauty. My '68 vert was built a few days ahead of yours - Nov. 24/67 (s/n 5338). Mine on a Friday - yours on the following Monday.

I have a '68 Corvette Bronze/Tobacco coupe purchased from the original owner in May 1970. Currently have 116,000 miles and still going strong on the original 327/300HP engine.

327/350 coupe here. Purchased last spring with a little work ahead of us (and the local classic restoration guy, who had it for 6 months bringing it back to near-original). Just got the new fuel tank and accessories in yesterday. Now just waiting for a new radio and I can put the dash back together, just in time for some dry days!
