Gateway Classic Cars Houston Showroom is proud to present this 1968 Chevrolet Corvette, a classic American sports car that combines unmistakable Corvette styling with V8 performance and an extensive restoration history.
Finished in a striking red exterior with a black vinyl interior, this Corvette commands attention before the engine is even started. It features a 327 CID V8 producing 350 horsepower, paired with a 4-speed manual transmission and a 3.55:1 Positraction rear end. This setup offers an engaging driving experience, complemented by power steering and power brakes for added convenience.
The Corvette retains several desirable factory features, including original cruise control, air conditioning, and power windows. The restoration was completed in 2019 and was extensive, with only approximately 3,000 miles driven since. The car is well-documented, with records detailing the work done to restore its mechanical components.
Restoration work included a rebuilt engine and transmission, new clutch, oil pump, gas tank, and timing chain, as well as rebuilt distributor, carburetor, steering gearbox, and suspension. In 2024, additional maintenance was performed, including a new water pump, attention to the emergency brake, and a replacement A/C compressor with the system restored to factory specifications.
This Corvette offers a classic proportions, a manual transmission, and a powerful V8 that deliver a nostalgic, old-school driving experience. Whether you're a longtime Corvette enthusiast, a collector, or someone who appreciates the sound and feel of a classic V8 with a manual gearbox, this car is worth a closer look.
With its documented restoration, recent maintenance, and only 3,000 miles since restoration, this 1968 Corvette is a standout example. It is listed by our Houston Showroom and can be viewed with over 100 HD pictures and a video at www.GatewayClassicCars.com. For more information, contact our staff or email [email protected].
