This 1968 Corvette may have the “blue” market cornered, but its performance is anything but gloomy once you hit the road.
Wearing a striking dark blue over medium blue color scheme, this early C3—listed on Craigslist out of Farmington, Michigan, for $50,000—immediately grabs attention. The appeal only grows when you lift the hood and find a 427/400 horsepower L68 V8 lurking beneath those signature curves. In 1968, that tri power big block was a $305.50 upgrade selected by just 1,932 buyers, making it one of the rarer choices of the model year.
Period performance figures quoted in the ad claim 0–60 mph in 5.8 seconds and a quarter mile pass in 13.9—respectable numbers even today.
Unfortunately, the listing itself offers almost no real information about this particular car’s condition or options, leaving shoppers to study the 14 photos for clues. One image confirms a Turbo Hydramatic automatic transmission. The interior appears to have been refreshed recently, though the parking brake console shows noticeable wear and could use attention. Otherwise, the cabin looks impressively clean.
The dark blue paint—likely a repaint—presents well in the photos, but without close ups or an in person inspection, it’s impossible to judge the quality with confidence. And at a $50,000 asking price, this is definitely a Corvette you’d want to see firsthand or have evaluated by a qualified inspector before making any decisions.
