$4,995-1968 Corvette Barn Find For Sale~ALL Original~Fiber Optics, Wipers, Lights Etc Work

[@Buckvette77]

I have a 68 coupe, M-20 trans, base 327 with A/C, PS, PB with 34,000 miles on the original tires. It is also painted Corvette Bronze with the Tobacco interior. Carb has never been off the car. Yours is the first I've seen like mine. Picked it up for $4000 in 2022.

[@spikemott923]

Man, I've been watching your videos for years, and somehow I missed this one. I would have bought this in half a second.

[@ytwhite5930]

You're not serious...FIVE GRAND!!! You gave it away,Dude.'^* isn't the best year for Corvettes,but that one is an exception. original all the way down to the keys,it doesn't get much better...

[@tomfaltash9634]

You could not get a 327 in a 1968-1969 . The engine options were a 350, 427 -390 hp, 427 400 hp, 427 425hp, & the 427 430hp. Let’s not forget the aluminum head 427 l88 which was only rated at 430 hp, really was more like 500 hp

[@thud9797]

Tom Faltash incorrect, the 350 did not debut in the Corvette until 69. For 68 the base engine was the 327/300hp with the 327/350hp optional.

[@e.z.hernandez6378]

Paid $6000 for my ‘68 3 years ago. Unfortunately she sat for 20 years and didn’t run when I got her. All original #s matching 327 coupe in spectacular shape otherwise. Finding a mechanic that knew vettes and after all the COVID crap was a pain but she’s finally getting some expert level love. Got a serious tuneup, carb rebuild, gas tank, brakes/rotors and a distributor upgrade. I get her back end of May hopefully, waiting for headers and straight pipes then appraisal. Should be worth three times what I’ve put into her. I can not wait!

[@WeBeAutosLtd]

Exciting! Good luck!!!

[@vikingmike8139]

All that Corvette requires is to have all the fluids changed, and a thorough cleaning. And perhaps a few small parts addressed, hose clamp, a belt, a light etc. And of coarse a fresh tank of gasoline. nice car.

[@vikingmike8139]

4:24 There was a fire in this car at one time, and it does have power brakes.

[@hunterjones9822]

For this video we're also calling that "patina"

[@matthewdeibert3000]

Not org keys. Not hurricane wheels

[@vikingmike8139]

True, however that can be easily repaired and cleaned up with chopped fiberglass and epoxy resin with some grey pigment added.

[@richardkaltenbach3961]

I Had A Yellow 1968 Corvette When I Was In My 20s Living Back In Granada Hills. Mine Was The 427/390 T-Top And 4 Speed. Missed That Car, Along With My 1973 Firebird And 1979 Monza.

[@DumbCarGuy]

I have a 68 Ttops 427 4spd factory sidepiped corvette in the back of my polebarn. It's black.

[@JR-ic4hl]

Been looking for a deal like this my hole life.

[@brucec6442]

Something smells here !!!!!

[@GlassTopRX7]

That's an amazing deal for sure. It's base model, last year for the 327. Valve seals are likely going, that was oil burning out the exhaust on the startup, rich would have been black. The buyer should rebuild engine. It has power disk brakes on all four wheels. The 68 Corvette was the first American production car to offer 4 wheel power disk brakes standard. Doing a full restoration on this wouldn't pay off though anytime soon. If it was perfect show condition it would top out around $40k and to achieve that would cost more that. Having said that a driver restoration or resto mod would be well worth it.

[@davidmoore1813]

GlassTopRX7 Mi

[@mafiaperformance]

The 1965 corvette was the first year for four wheel discs. 😊

[@GlassTopRX7]

True but 68, was the first year they were standard for an American car. It's was option in 65'.

[@mafiaperformance]

GlassTopRX7 Wrong. Disc brakes were standard from 1965 onward. You could get a 64.15 dollar credit if you wanted drums on a 65, but that wasn’t offered in 66. Corvettes came with standard discs in 1965. That’s why a 64 is left undesirable. 63=split window, 64 drums, 65 first year Big Block with discs, 66=427, and 67 was the 435 first year tripower. I’m not wrong here. Sorry.

[@GlassTopRX7]

It's not wrong you are the one mistaken, the sales brochure for the 68' is quite clear about it, I just looked at it. I was was part of the whole C3 advertising campaign for the all new futuristic Corvette.

[@gregschrag7848]

Man i really like that tabacco color interior

[@owenp7644]

i’m 4 years late but man this is a screamin deal haha

[@altay6320]

It is a desirable year Corvette

[@jbc3223]

Is this still for sale? Wondering if the video title is wrong

[@frankc1430]

Also need's some valve guide seals.

[@jjones2509]

great deal, great car

[@jogmas12]

Boy these farmers are really into these old cars.

[@zaquedavis3391]

For $5,000 they stole it from you.

[@ssdtrain1]

that's almost free !!! worth 3-4 times that much (AS IS)

[@pkramerable]

Nice to see this.

[@melfrank8379]

What a joker saying this car had Light emitting diodes, the indicators on the console for the tail lights were neither LED's nor light bulbs. I bought a 68 327/350 Vette back in 1977, I had wiring problems and while tracing wires noticed what looked like only one bigger wire going to the indicator lights, no ground I thought as they all were working fine. My father who was an electrical engineer and had worked at Texas instruments developing the Doppler Radar told me those are not wires, they are fiber optic cables. So light was carried from each of the four tail light housings to the display bar on the console and if your bulb in the rear burnt out, you knew for certain there would be no light at the display. I just wanted to correct that statement, no LED's on a 68 Vette I know of

[@ImTHATguy...]

Have a little fire on the drivers side engine compartment? Saw the burned fiberglass on the fender and hood.

[@ckstaff]

No power brakes? Did I not just see the power brake pump behind the master cylinder? Yes I did.

[@jamesmorphew29]

I want it

[@beirrab]

But how is the frame and birdcage? Of course, for $5000 you could afford to deal with those.

[@WeBeAutosLtd]

This Corvette has Been Sold

[@melfrank8379]

You can tell the guy selling it was not very car savvy, he said it did not have power brakes but opens the hood and there is a brake booster, lol, and there was no stainless steel on it, it was all chrome, Wonder what it was bought for, it was given away for 4900. Mine is a 327/350HP, This one probably had the 194 intake valves where mine were 202.

[@CrazyPetez]

Start with a clay bar cleaning.

[@steveh9436]

No power brakes??? Why is there a brake booster on it DUHH. The master cylinder is mounted to it.

[@advancedmonkey7702]

You sold this car for 5 grand? WHAT? I would say this car worth at least 30K.

[@erinfreize4717]

Wait, is this the same car painted bright red with different wheels for $20K more as a convertible?

[@GJ-DT]

Why did you let it go for 5k? Thats giving it away. Idk if i believe it.

[@WeBeAutosLtd]

It was for sale for awhile and that was the best offer..

[@DWH072]

Alrighty then

[@TheJagjr4450]

WOW... some hand applied Meguires Number 7... show car glaze pure polish will rehydrate the paint... only Meguires Number 7 NEVER use a compound or a buffing wheel on OLD METALLIC PAINT... it will expose the metallic pigments and screw up the paint.

[@trashbandit2449]

Wow this would be worth 3x that today

[@thegreenerthemeaner]

Those are NOT original keys. ORIGINAL keys had GM embossed on them. That you can see the bonding strips means the gel coat is thin from sitting out in the sun.

[@steveroe532]

There are no LEDs in the 1968 to 1972 Covettes. They had fiber optics. Clowns.....

[@jefftesting12345]

Sold yet?

[@juansaladzar]

If it just needs adjustment then why didn’t you just adjust it brah?

[@AutoBikeTruck]

Did He Sell It Or How Much is He Asking 4 It ?

[@DumbCarGuy]

I would have given you 18k for it.

[@stevencraig6509]

Looks like there was fire damage to the left fender by the master cylinder

[@scottallen577]

That guy did not deserve to find that car if he's just selling it

[@ohdamnitsthatguy60]

LEDs in 1968? I don't think so. Sounds like a real car guy to me.

[@robmeier1895]

That's actually what they called the little lights inside by shifter and dash that indicated lights on, blinkers etc. Not real led lights. Not a early C3 Guy I see

[@thud9797]

They were not LEDs, they were lights at all just the ends of the fiber optic cables that carried the existing light from whatever light they were monitoring.

[@jefftesting12345]

Still have?

[@WeBeAutosLtd]

Sold

[@keithsclassicgarage1133]

5k is half of what it is worth, min!

[@peterkeeler7978]

its worth that....think of how much it costs to make it rite......it's not GOLD.....JUST A CAR.....its all it is......a car. i

Supermegamon Inc. Because prices tend to change, it's best to take a look at our main website www.WeBeAutos.com for pricing and availability..

[@cserohs]

Its like a 4 star restaurant...if you have to know a price then you should not buy it....:-)

[@montycrain5783]

Why would you want to restore a Base Model, ripe for modification.

[@steveroe532]

That's also not the original fuel filter and supply line.

[@WeBeAutosLtd]

It was a $5,000 Car

[@ricktroutman6518]

At 5 grand The Birdcage and frame or probably rusted rotten

[@1984redcloud]

"Wow..original keys...look at that!" Sounds like a couple of clowns trying to con everyone.

[@WeBeAutosLtd]

How are we Clowns Trying to Con Everyone for a Corvette that was Sold for $5,000...It was Just About ALL Original and the Buyer was VERY Happy..

[@dukeman7595]

Pay no attention to the envious clowns talking bull. It's a very nice Vette and priced very low. I know I would have bought it in a heartbeat.Thank you for sharing.

[@robmeier1895]

I'm 3 years to late. I bought a 69 24 years ago for $5000.00 , But it wasn't even this original. You could have EASILY tripled your money and still sold it in 1 day. No disrespect, but why so cheap ? Would be so easy to find the true value. Where am I when deals like this pop up ??? Oh well, somebody got the deal of the century !!!

[@annieclide]

no do not restore it i have a original 62

[@jwh475ezc]

Why so cheap?

[@dayga1007]

"Barn find" is just a polite way of saying "This hulk is a big piece of cow shit and not worth a tenth of what it would cost to restore it!"
