1968 witnessed the launch of an all-new Corvette, and unsurprisingly, sales again increased as demand for Chevy's superstar remained strong.
The C3 was a magnet for people searching for a new Corvette, so Chevrolet eventually sold 28,566 units this year. The convertible accounted for 65.22% of the entire production, with 18,630 units, while the coupe was far behind, with 9,936 cars.
The Corvette was still an affordable model. The convertible carried a base price of $4,320, while the coupe was a bit more expensive at $4,663.
The convertible in these photos has had only two owners. The second owner bought the car in 1974 and kept it until recently, when she decided she was too old to drive. The Vette spent several years in a garage after being properly cared for by the flight attendant. It was cared for "as it was her baby," eBay seller arminhott87 explains, revealing that the lady owner worked for Eastern Airlines, with a decal still on the windshield.
The woman eventually decided to sell the house and move to a retirement home, so the Vette no longer has a parking spot. This is how the eBay seller got their hands on the car, and they are now posting it online for a no-reserve auction starting at $1.
The vehicle still looks impressive, but you'll probably discover a few spots requiring attention as you get closer. The red paint is original, and the owner explains that the air conditioning isn't connected but is there.
We're not getting many specifics on the engine. The only thing we know is that the drivetrain is strong, and the numbers match, so you should be able to take this Corvette for a spin if you're interested in a purchase. It has already received essential maintenance work. The gas has been cleaned, and it now sports a new convertible top, tires, and calipers.
It's a fantastic Corvette that someone in the restoration business would easily turn into a head-turning machine in spotless shape. It requires nothing else but minor TLC, and the best way to determine its condition accurately is to see it in person.
The Corvette is parked in Miami, where it's now waiting for the end of the auction. The top bid at the time of press is $510, and considering it's a no-reserve auction, the highest bidder will take it home. The digital fight started at $1, but the selling price will be much higher, with more than six days remaining until the auction ends.
Meanwhile, the owner says they're ready to ask any questions, so contact them if you believe this Corvette has a place in your garage and are ready to join the digital battle.
