Ayesijun, There are LOTS of one year only 68 parts. Depending on which are still there and which are missing helps determine the value of the car.
If you aren't to familiar with them I would do some homework or
bring someone who is. The 68 is a great car, good luck.

The '68 passenger dash did not have the 'map pocket' arrangement. But, you could buy a used (or new) right dash and install it in a '68 with no problem. Corvette swap meets (like Corvette Expo around Knoxville, TN in Spring and Fall) are good opportunities to find them at reasonable prices.

This will be my first corvette and have dreamed of owning a 68 - 72 vette since i was a kid (i'm 56 now). I am in the process of selling my '49 Hotrod chevy truck my dad and built and will be using that cash to buy the corvette. I test drove a 71 350 automatic the other day and was the first time i got to drive one let alone ride in one.
So, wadda ya think?

Unless the '68 is nearly perfect and mechanicals have all been redone, it is way overpriced, as it does not have the original engine.
If the crate install was done well and it is EFI, that might raise its value up to $20K, but that's about the limit for a '68 coupe without its original engine.
Not having the original engine would not prevent me from purchasing that car, if that's what I wanted. But, a 'real' LT-1, in good condition, for $25K would be the better choice.
