Corvettes for Sale: Grandpa's British Green 1968 Corvette 427


There’s nothing like a Corvette with a 427 engine.

If you’ve never experienced the thrill of punching the accelerator on a C3 Corvette equipped with this fire-breathing powerplant, here’s your opportunity.

This 1968 Stingray – one of just 4,779 to be coated in British Green in the initial year of the third generation – is currently being offered for sale on eBay, with a young man saying he’s helping to sell it for his grandparents.

Purists might be disappointed to find out that despite its big 427 engine, it is one of 5,063 appointed with the Turbo-Hydramatic automatic transmission, with most folks instead choosing one of a trio of four-speed manuals offered.

The eBay listing runs through Sept. 5, with a “Buy It Now” price of $35,500, though other offers are being entertained.

The listing doesn’t provide too many details about the car, but we are told It retains its original drivetrain that includes the most popular 427 engine option that year – the L36 427/390 horsepower V8 chosen by 7,717 customers.

In all, Chevy produced 28,566 Stingrays that year, with the vast majority being convertibles like this one as some 18,630 left the St. Louis factory.

In the absence of more particulars, the seller does point out that he will be “happy to take video calls and walk through any aspect of the vehicle” for potential buyers.

Based on the photos with the listing, you’d never know it’s covered 112,556 miles, so it’s likely some kind of restoration has been undertaken over the years. Indeed, the green paint appears to be in top-notch condition, and the same can be said for the black interior. We also love the contrast offered by the white canvas top, and did you notice those replacement whitewall tires that were originally an option chosen by 9,692 owners that year for an extra $31.30?
