talk me out of this car
 

odd title I know, but I found this 68 while surfing the local craigslist and for SOME reason I really like this car

I already have a 68, don't really need another one, but for some odd reason I 'm just stuck on this car, keep coming back and looking at it.

does anyone see anything that jumps out as bad or wrong?

Nope, but the pics are limited. Might be worth a look-see. Wiper door actuator is the later version, but not a deal breaker.
:thumbs:

right, the only 2 things that jumped out at me was the wiper actuator not correct, and no ignition shielding.

Here's my talking out -

let me buy it! It's a gorgeous 68.

Your wish is my command!
 

I'm fairly local, so I just went and purchased it out from under you. Thanks for the tip!

J/K. One can never have too many Vettes! Buy it!

Pretty reasonable price IMHO for a coupe/base engine/auto and looks like it was loved too!

Great buy if rust is manageable.

Are those headrest seats? Hard to see interior details. I like the correct smog pump.

Nothing awful jumps off the ad.

My 68 has the same color combination. Nice leather seats, smog pump etc. If the frame and birdcage are OK, go for it. Mine still turns heads. Jerry

Automatic transmission. :ack:

Is that an air pump in front of the air filter , did they get fitted in the 68 model

I agree. :cheers:

I see what everyone else sees.....a great car if its rust free. Nice leather, power windows, looks like an original radio. Other than the wiper door actuator and its an auto it would be a great investment and a fun driving car. If I could afford it I would grab it. I would hotrod the car I have, which I am and keep this one completely stock. I could be in both worlds of collecting. BUY IT and then yo can drive one while working on the other. If your married tell the wife you bought it for her, hope she likes silver.

PS get that car some red stripe tires......

All 68s had A.I.R.

Time for a visit and inspection I would say. Nice looking from the ad, but only way to tell is that personal visit. :auto:
Good luck with your decision. :thumbs:

Not all '68 C3's had the A.I.R. system. But, all CA C3's had that system. Nice 'looking' car, decent price, THM-400 is a nice trans if you don't want to clutch. You need to know what the 'frame rust' condition is and what shape the mechanicals are in. Rusty and/or poor condition mechanicals....take a hike.

Vintage Eagle GT tires mean that it has not been driven much.......they quit making those in 92' I believe.....which jibes with his restoration in 91'...........
Smog pump means most stuff is intact...........
Hell of a deal if the metal is all solid.....

I see it's still posted,,guess you must have passed on it,, i just realized it's not far from me,, might have to have a look myself,,, thanks for the heads up :thumbs:
:seeya

Actually I’m thinking of going this weekend

Go for it, i like the fact he has had it that long...it may have been many yrs since its been gone through but bet its somewhat sound thats half the battle
327/400 is a pretty reliable combo
