Basic Information & Background
The Corvette is a model with a very long history, it is considered America's first sports car and has always been a very sought-after model on the market. The C3 generation was a major upgrade compared to the C2 where the driving characteristics were further improved and the car received a completely new design language. This 1968 model is a highly sought after and very rare L71 427 model with the more powerful 435hp engine. A model that was produced in only 2898 examples and one of the fastest ever to come from Corvette.
The car has lived most of its life in Norway where it was also restored to the fantastic condition it is in today with receipts of almost SEK 800,000. It comes with an incredible amount of documentation, pictures, receipts, protocols etc that have accompanied the car throughout its life and is one of the most well documented and well restored C3s we have ever seen.
Condition
Exterior: The car has undergone a solid renovation where the body has been sanded completely clean of plastic and new cracks have been made all around the car. The car was painted with several layers of clear coat, which is then water sanded and polished. Everything under the car is painted such as the frame, wheel suspensions and wheel arches. All exterior chrome such as bumper, rear view mirror, tail pipe, license plate holder and emblem is new and there are new rubber strips everywhere. The car is in absolute top condition with few remarks, for example a small mark on the rear wing. The car has the original rims and of course they are also in top condition with new tires. Please see all pictures in the album for more info on condition and feel free to ask questions in the comment field!
Interior: The interior is in a very nice refurbished condition with new carpets, refurbished seats with lacquered undercarriage and frame, new upholstery and new black upholstery. The rest of the interior is in good condition with very little wear, as is the steering wheel and original dashboard. Please see all pictures in the album for more info on condition and feel free to ask questions in the comment field!
Mechanical: The engine is a matching numbers 427ci (7.0L) big-block with the associated Hydra-matic box. The exhaust system is new and the chassis has also been revised with, among other things, new shock absorbers and bushings all around, composite leaf springs and the majority of all bolts on the car are new. Refurbished fuel tank and refurbished vacuum bells. The gearbox has also been overhauled with new o-rings, stuffing boxes and gaskets as well as a new converter. Last service was in spring 2023, and there is an incredible amount of past documentation. The brake system has been reviewed and new tires are on it.

Summary
A really cool and well-renovated example of a classic and very rare icon that both runs and looks as it should! Regular C3 models have had a very stable price picture and fine examples like this always have, and will always be sought after on the market but unique examples like this will only continue to rise in value.
