Hi oc,
I'll say 'Welcome' too!
I'm glad you're here.
It'll be fun to see some pictures of your 68.
Are you still driving it some or have you packed it away for a few months?
Regards,
Alan

Congratulations on your new 68 
Cordovan Maroon is a great color. Which motor is in it? I'm also a 68 coupe owner and really enjoy the car.

Hi, Allen 71 love all your great pictures. I have the car in the garage covered up but i try to start it up and drive it every 2 weeks or so weather permitting. I like to keep the juices flowing. Capevettes My 68 has a 327 auto,air mostly stock but thats what i wanted when i bought the car. I like stock corvettes the best.

Welcome to the club! We`re "first time" Vette owners too! A 71 coupe, base 350 with automatic. We`ve built a few other cars over the years, but this one will be our retirement toy.
We`d LOVE to see pics of your new 68!

Welcome to the Forum. I nearly bought a '68 convertible (in '68)....
But I couldn't afford the $140 monthly car note....
So I waited 45 years to buy one..........
Now I can't afford the $300 monthly restoration budget !!

Ah, the genesis of the generation! 68 and 69s rock! Couldn't agree more, owning a Corvette, especially older ones, is made better with the information and help you get on the Forum.
