    Back again about the 1968 garage find

    I paid $1500 for a 1968 T-top garage find that has been garaged since 1987. I was just offered $3000 for it. It is a 4 spd not original 327 with minimal options. It needs COMPLETE restoration but it appears to be complete. My question is, I'm sure if I part it out, I can make a lot more than...

    out of garage so here's a couple picts. of the 68

    Well, one thing is IF I understand the codes correctly, it is not a 68 Vette motor. Code K0228FB. So is this a 11/22/68 327 /235HP? Just a basic 327? Shame. Carb is a tiny Holley L7456. Unfortunately a lot of big blocks and good motors disappeared in the late 70s early 80s when OPEC controlled...

    out of garage so here's a couple picts. of the 68

    It's been 40 some years since I had my 69. The handles on this Vette look like your picture. Did 69 look the same? No reverse lights in the taillights. I THOUGHT in the late 60s that GM moved the IGN switch to the column? It was dark in the garage and I only saw that the column looked to have...

    out of garage so here's a couple picts. of the 68

    As soon as I walking in the garage, I saw the "STINGRAY" script on the fenders and thought it was a 69 also. Once I checked the title and VIN# on the windshield post, I knew it is a 68. VIN #19437854*****. I looked up the block # and as I understand, it was used for several years including 1968...

    out of garage so here's a couple picts. of the 68

    Found the title. Now that I have it, I am less likely to consider parting it out. I would really like to sell it as a 34 year old garage find rather than chop it up even though I could make more parting it. IF it has the original motor[probably the lower HP], what's an average price I should ask...

    out of garage so here's a couple picts. of the 68

    Oh, another question. It has a temp Delaware tag on it for 1986. I believe years ago anyway, New Jersey only required a registration to sell a vehicle. Not sure if it's still that way but does Delaware need a title or just a registration?

    out of garage so here's a couple picts. of the 68

    Have to ask. I had those pipes on my 67. Took a girl to the prom and when she got out, it fried her dress to her leg. Spent the night in the ER and never made it to the prom. Any issues with you pipes?

    out of garage so here's a couple picts. of the 68

    This 68 has no title but I'm fairly confident that when/if the DMV reopens, I should be able to get one. My question is, not having any personal connection to this car and, sorry to admit, I am financially not doing well. I am only in it for the money. I want to part it out as it should bring...

    Value of 69 garage find?

    As someone stated, the VIN # is on the windshield post. It was a little tough to read but I'm fairly sure if I decoded this correctly[6 # is an 8], it is a towards the end of the run, 1968 not a 69? Did Corvettes use a VIN plate with all the codes. Where is the likely place to look for a build...

    Value of 69 garage find?

    I thought disc brakes require a deeper offset wheel then drums? I was just asking about the style. I know the 67 was added. My fired up 69 was an L88 with that style hood until my FRIEND backed over the nose with his backhoe. What I'm wondering is if the 69 used that L88 style hood on a small...

    Value of 69 garage find?

    Another ?. I have Chevy 5 x 4.75 wheels on my old wagon and I have spares with tires. I need to put something on the Vette to move it. What is the bolt pattern? Did it have disc brakes on the rear, if so, can I use stock Chevy wheels?

    Value of 69 garage find?

    Sorry, like I said, it's been a while. I meant LT1 not LS5 as far as the hood goes. Also sorry that I tend to ramble but if no one else is talking....

    Value of 69 garage find?

    Guess my pictures size is too big to use in my profile? Here is my 67. This is the style hood the 69 has on it. Was this a factory style hood for a small block? This is my current car and hope to keep it until they take my licence away. I fell in love with it because it is soooo ugly!

    Value of 69 garage find?

    See if this works. It is not even GM. Where have I been these past few years?

    Value of 69 garage find?

    Just curious to see if my picture comes up as my signature or not. IF it does, this is my current car.

    Value of 69 garage find?

    It is sitting on all flats so I wasn't able to get under even a little or pull it out of the garage. I did feel the frame up over the axles and I didn't feel any rust. Again, It's been well over 40 years since I was into Vettes even a little so my knowledge is very rough and when going to look a...

    Value of 69 garage find?

    Thanks, that makes me feel a little better. Sorry but a quick explanation of the pictures. This is Old Man talk but when I was 20[1973], I had a 69 4 spd 427, a 67 327 spd, and a real nice chocolate brown 327 4 spd. 57 Chevy hardtop. All were inspected and insured. I was making $2.40 and hour...

    Value of 69 garage find?

    Hello - newbie, This morning, my friend said he needed someone to go with him to look at a car. Apparently the owner had died and his brother wants to get the house in order. I was surprised to find a 69 Corvette. The inspection is 1986. It looks to be complete but fairly rough. The person that...
