The third generation of America’s Sports Car, the Chevrolet Corvette, arrived on the scene in 1968. Fashioned after the Mako Shark concept car, the Corvette looked nothing like it had before, and the C3 ‘Vettes were so popular that the design stuck around through 1982. The seller offers a 1968 Corvette coupe finished in red but with almost no details, leading us to believe it’s a roller (best case). Located in a storage unit in Woodinville, Washington, this former muscle car is available here on eBay for $7,500 OBO.
Corvette production was up by 25% to 28,566 units in 1968. The 300 hp, 327 cubic inch V8 was still standard equipment, and an assortment of 427s were available for the choosing. We don’t know how this Corvette is/was equipped because the seller only provides four words of description: “needs TLC, just body.” This does nothing to help sell the car, and the photos provided aren’t of a lot of help either.
We have to assume this is either a roller or a shell with an interior that is incomplete (no dashboard). The seller provides two photos of a sticker and an ancient registration that don’t add anything to the equation. The car does have black California plates, suggesting it’s been in-op for years or even decades. It has or once had a manual transmission.
That interior looks awfully funny…
If what you see is what you get, you will spend a fortune finding parts. 68’s are the first of the 3rd generation, and have many unique, 1 year only parts. Seems to be a pretty expensive parts car to me.
Dude is either a knucklehead or doesn’t want to sell the car. Wife probably told him to get rid of it.
It’s a long process. It may take years.
You list it on eBay and show her the ad, and keep re-listing it for awhile, and that buys you about another 12 months of looking at it in your garage.
It’ll show up on Facebook or Craigslist soon, once the eBay listing fees start kicking in. That’s where the “not really for sale” and “seller knows what he has” stuff goes.
Lousy ad, might be worth a call if it’s someone’s dream car, but the seller needs to provide a lot more information including pictures in order for potential buyers to consider.

Complete hunk of junk at this point. Sorry. But there’s very little left to charge money for.
No dash and a tarp visible in the engine bay where the A/C blower should be.
Ummm…. nope.
Yeah. Can see the passenger front tire in that pic so maybe missing front fender or more? Would be curious to see what the whole car looks like.
money pit.
Once again. Grandpop told his 17 year grandbaby to snap the pics of “my old car in the storage unit, before you go back inside and get on that X-Box!”
I sold my 77 vett 3 years ago that i would drive anywhere I just couldn’t get in and out of it after my last back surgery for $10k with 74k mils on it
This is definitely in the running for the worst car advertisement produced in recent history.
That being said, based on the very limited information provided, this thing is, to quote Trisha Yearwood, a walk away Joe.
Listing has been ended by seller.
$7500 for a luggage rack? Hmmmmm….
