I AM LOOKING TO SELL MY BEAUTIFUL 1968 COVERTIBLE. IT IS A RARE COLOR COMBINATION, BRITISH GREEN WITH A SADDLE TAN TOP AND INTERIOR. I HAVE OWNED THE CAR SINCE 1981 AND HAVE PUT A LOT OF LOVE AN MONEY INTO IT. IT NEEDS NOTHING EXCEPT TO REPAIR ONE CONVERTAIBLE TOP SIDE BOW (SEE BELOW). I MADE A NUMBER OF NON OEM MODIFICATIONS TO MAKE IT MORE FUN TO DRIVE (SEE BELOW) BUT HAVE ALL THE ORIGINAL PARTS TO MAKE IT ALL STOCK AGAIN. LET ME KNOW IF YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS OR WOULD LIKE MORE INFORMATION. THE CAR IS STORED IN MY GARAGE IN SKOKIE IL. IT HAS NEVER SEEN SNOW SINCE I OWNED IT AND MAYBE RAIN LESS THAN 5 TIMES.

Nice car I have this car in maroon with
421 saddle leather. My question is does your car have the trim tag # of 421? My black book tells me it was not offered in 68 however my 68 has it. So I am wondering how rare it is?

My trim tag is 420 which is saddle, but not leather. I added the leather. It as a very late 68 and from my research you could order a late 68 with a saddle tan interior.

That makes sense 69 lists a 420, I have an early 68 Nov. 67 and 421 is listed for 67.
Nice Vette and GLWS. If I’m not mistaken I have seen this car and looked it over well at Monday Night Car Shows and if it is the one it is very very nice and would make a great car for the next owner.
