Sale price: $40,000.00 make an offer
Car location: Abbotsford, BC, Canada
Seller's notes: I bought this 68 Corvette last year. I had a local shop strip it down to the gel coat and put the factory paint job on the car. The car was painted in BASF paint. While the car was in the shop I also did a new interior in the car. The car had already had the engine rebuilt with only 200 miles on it. the car has been gone through from top to bottom. This car drives amazing and looks fantastic and runs even better. This car will turn heads any where you go.
