We at Texas Classic Cars Of Dallas are very proud to present this #s matching big block Corvette.




"A two-door rocket," according to the 1970 Car and Driver review, the 1968 Chevrolet Corvette remains the manufacturer's best-selling model year.
A record 28,556 Corvettes were sold in 1968, prompted by a new body design based on the Mako Shark show car.
With a manufacturer's suggested retail price of $5,787.80, this general body style would continue unchanged until 1982.
The casting number on the back of the block reads 3916321, which shows us.
427 - 390 HP (early) L36 3916321
Our 68 rides on Performance Radial G/Ts 235/60R15 98S all around, and stops easily with it's disk brakes all around.

Painted it's original color (986 code) Silverstone Silver Metallic, with it's (402 code) Black Leather interior, the car looks awesome.

As always, we would like to thank our friends at the Frontiers Of Flight Museum at Dallas Love Field for their great background for many of our photos.
Please be sure to visit the museum when in Dallas.




The third generation Corvette, patterned after the Mako Shark II concept car,
was introduced for the 1968 model year and lasted until 1982


We think the pictures of this great car say it all. The car runs great, looks great and is ready to drive and enjoy.



The paint still looks great after 6 years


1968 was the only year for the push button and flap type door opener together.


The interior shows very well.


The A/C blows cold


The undercarriage is very clean and solid

Rear end code shows it was built on the 2nd shift,FA(3.70 Heavy Duty Positraction 427), on March 27th,

in1968 at the Warren plant.


The transmission codes out to an M21 or M22 4 speed


We did not get pictures of the correct transmission number and rear end number to see if it matches the VIN# , but we can check further when we get the car on the lift again. We believe this could be matching numbers all the way.
