A modern engine and tranny does not equal creature comforts! That being said...I love my 68!
Not sure why the color looks like it varies in these pix. It's hugger (monaco) orange.

I had Bilsteins, VBP coil and fiberglass leaf spings, polyurethane bushings, etc, etc and while the handling was superior to that of a stock 68, it was not nearly as good as my C5, but that's to be expected.
Liz,
I sold my medium blue metallic 68 to a guy who lives in Pearland - small world!

Driven hundreds of Sharks.... they are a raw animal.
My favorite was an original black '69 427 tri-power with factory sidepipes. Sold it for $65k
Drive in a couple to get a feel... those things are death traps. I wouldn't drive very fast around corners.

If you can't find one in places like AutoTrader, E-bay, or publications like Corvette Trader, you could always buy a C3 and swap in the modern stuff.
