Hemmings Find of the Day – 1968 Chevrolet Corvette



1968ChevroletCorvette_01_800

What started out as a fairly run-of-the-mill small-block Corvette convertible, this built-for-racing 1968 Chevrolet Corvette for sale on Hemmings.com, could ultimately return to its original configuration, thanks to the fact that the seller didn’t seem to toss anything out when converting it for racing. Then again, it appears just as capable on the track as it does on the road, so perhaps a few more seasons of racing are in the tank for this Corvette? From the seller’s description:

Meticulously owned and cared for, it comes with more extra parts and documentation that we can list here. In addition to the aftermarket racing equipment, all original transitional pieces will be sold with the car.
