Description from the seller
GENERAL
Magnificent Chevrolet Corvette C3 Stingray Convertible from the legendary introduction year 1968. This early C3 model is among the most sought-after American sports cars and is characterized by the iconic chrome bumpers at the front and rear, which disappeared in later years. This rare variant offers a wonderful opportunity to own and enjoy an iconic piece of American automotive history and unforgettable road trips.
BODYWORK & PAINT
The clean lines and timeless color scheme give this convertible an breathtaking appearance. The paint and gleaming chrome are in very nice, well-maintained condition with a deep shine, showing only light, normal signs of use. About a year ago the convertible top was completely renewed, which completes the elegant and fresh visual state of the exterior.
TECHNICAL DATA
Under the long hood lies a powerful V8 engine paired with a desirable manual transmission. This combination provides a sublime and sporty driving experience where the direct connection with the car and the unmistakable deep V8 sound come into their own. The transmission shifts very smoothly and has recently been equipped with a new clutch including pressure plate.
INTERIOR
The original interior is in a nice, well-kept condition with normal signs of use that fit the age and history of this classic. The cockpit offers an authentic atmosphere that immediately takes the driver back to the golden era of American muscle cars, while you can enjoy the pure convertible feel in complete peace of mind.
DOCUMENTS
The technical history of this Corvette is partly supported by available photos of the engine revision. All required documents for registration and transfer are of course present, so the administrative handling can proceed smoothly.
PICK-UP
The vehicle is ready for transfer to the new owner at the seller’s location. Upon pickup, all documents and keys are handed over directly. The buyer is advised to arrange logistics or optional transport in advance.
ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
Mechanically, this Corvette was thoroughly rebuilt about two years ago. Thanks to the combination of the rare chrome bumper model, the beloved manual transmission, and the excellent maintenance state, this head-turner is not only a pleasure to drive but also a solid investment for the true enthusiast.

Catawiki always aims to offer you the best possible buying experience. Our experts virtually review and select every vehicle in line with our submission guidelines and we require our sellers to provide the most accurate description of the vehicle. However, providing a fully detailed analysis of the vehicle is extremely difficult, and close to impossible. To guide you, we ask our sellers to provide information about the vehicle’s condition. Please consider that most vehicles for sale are classic vehicles and they often already have a whole life behind them, meaning that even a condition 1 or 2 vehicle might need maintenance to be ready for the road. It is advised to carefully read our submission guidelines that further describe details about the condition grades and types to manage your expectations. Cars are sold “as is”, meaning as described and in the condition they are in at the time of the sale and without any representation, warranty or assumption of liability of any kind as to the condition by Catawiki or by the seller. The condition of this item is the opinion of the seller and may differ from yours, your local garage, or the dealer’s opinion. This does not automatically mean the car does not conform to its description. Before bidding, please check your local legislation regarding vehicle registration. Neither the seller nor Catawiki is responsible for the registration of the vehicle in your country and will not accept a cancellation for your failure to register the vehicle. We also recommend that, if possible, you arrange a viewing with the seller before placing a bid.
