1968 Chevrolet Corvette

1968 Chevrolet Corvette Coupe â?" 327/300 V8, 4-Speed, T-Tops, Red over Black Why This Car Is Special The 1968 Chevrolet Corvette represents one of the most significant model-year changes in the nameplate's history. After five years of the Sting Ray coupe and convertible, Chevrolet introduced an entirely new body for 1968 â?" longer, lower, and wider than its predecessor, with a dramatically different silhouette that was clearly influenced by the Mako Shark II show car. The roofline was redesigned around a pair of removable T-Top panels, a feature that would define Corvette ownership for the next two decades. The hideaway windshield wipers, the vacuum-operated pop-up headlights, and the side fender vents were all new for this year. It was a car that looked nothing like what came before it.
