Default WTB 68 owners manual

Looking for original 68 Corvette owners manual. Not looking for a reprint I have them. Any other document pertaining to a 68 I would be interested in. Please PM with information and asking price.
Thanks

What you're looking for is a forty eight year old publication and you'll want it in reasonably good shape. That narrows things considerably. Are you an NCRS member? You could post a Want To Buy in The Driveline.

Good luck.

For 1968 there was also a First Edition and Second Edition. Do you also want it to contain the Corvette News page? I don't have one but they are out there. Just sold my last one a month ago, had the full News card.
I have an original poly bag the manuals came in with the octagon key on it if interested. I also have an original small white key knockout envelope that has never been filled out.

Preference would be first edition complete if the price wasn't to unreasonable.

Some photos.
I am trying to find real world values for these items (with little success).
















































Check out the asking price for the '65 Vert. 350 HP 4 speed above--I believe this ad was in the Fall of 1968.

The owner's manual is in excellent condition from front cover up to page 65 where the "burn" damage first shows.
The worst of the damage is shown on the last page, and the back cover has the worst of it.

I have had a member ask if any of these items are the same for a '69---I do not know.

I found these also---not '68, but still cool.
