Test Drive 1968 Chevrolet Corvette Convertible SOLD $26,900 Maple Motors

[@BizTechSherpa]

Pretty cool that a 1968 Vette is self-driving!

[@truebetold65]

The most beautiful car on the lot. Stunning.

[@fafafohi2boss533]

In 1980...my friends dad owned a driving school...In Massachusetts..He had a 68 Vet..and a 78..Trans Am...For students to drive..Then a bunch of Dodge Valents..Slant 6..😊

[@copycatdigital6827]

Nick you missed a couple of things on this one. First of all, operate the wiper cover and wipers, second thing, you had a broken cable on the soft top release... Use pliers or V-grips to pull on the cable. you need to release the soft top from the hard cover first. Then just fold up the back of the soft cover B4 you release the hard cover...The cracks you see in the paint are mostly stress cracks because the 68 vette didn't use rubber body mounts in that first year.... Pot-holes and RR tracks cause these cracks for that reason......

[@APA2345]

Oh yes, I'm a Vette fan. A fabulous maroon color with a matching interior. She sounds awesome!!

[@nixwix3811]

Nice Corvette, love the color and the wheels. The motor has a nice rumble to it !!

[@kcbroncohater]

What was the red light that came on when you got to high revs in 1st gear as you took off ? It went out at 8:17

[@howardscott7521]

That button tells you the wiper door isn't completely closed. If you own a 1968-72, you see it quite often, lol.

[@jaymortensen642]

I was wondering about that light does it go on if a headlight door is having issue also ? I believe they are all vacuum operated maybe that is his idle issue and the reason for the light.@@howardscott7521

[@kcbroncohater]

@@howardscott7521 Haha, thanks.

[@thud9797]

So low vacuum or a vacuum leak.

[@cbx500cbx]

Had same year same color, replaced original engine with moderate built crate engine special heads. Mallory dual point tarantula ram manifold . Hooker headers lake pipes. 15 race master slicks. Original owner recked it on 95 got it for 1800 bucks.

[@scu-dub]

Sweet ride that button is for the seat belt light to turn it off 👍🏼my mom's friends husband has a 70 vette 😁

[@maddpeanut6313]

Beautiful. Same color as my '72 coupe. I'm told the button turns off the Fasten Seat Belts lamp. 72's turned off automatically.

[@1972Ray]

This cars color is Cordova Maroon, your Corvette must have been repainted at some point to match it. Beautiful color, not very common, same as mine, Steel Cities Gray.

[@maddpeanut6313]

Yes it has been repainted. During a 'restification' in 1985 I had it painted Claret, a mid 70's Cadillac color.@@1972Ray

[@maddpeanut6313]

BTW, in 1974 I almost bought a 72 LT1 coupe in code 988 Steel Cities Gray. But I had to wait until 1976 when I bought the 72 coupe I have now. Wish I had the LT1 now. @@1972Ray

[@kamikaze4928]

At first glance, I got a good vibe from this Vette. Love the color, exterior and interior. Love the wheels and tires. When the Vettes lost the chrome bumpers, they took a few steps backwards in appearance, imo. Why wouldn't they have PS on this car though? Love the 4-wheel disc brakes.

[@wildbill7081]

Yes I love the chrome bumpers on the Corvette for sure

[@gregblack8550]

How hard is it to add power steering. Steering box and all need changed?

[@C0rvette454]

@@gregblack8550 you have to change the gearbox

[@andyjohnson6548]

@@gregblack8550not very hard at all. You can mount the power steering box in the same spot with the existing bolt holes in the frame. Power steering pump can be added with the correct brackets for that engine. What I’ve done in the past is just go to a scrapyard and get all those parts from a Corvette that had power steering. Then I’d buy brand new lines.

[@gregblack8550]

@@andyjohnson6548 thank you

[@TheSteve1175]

Ok ,I tied my phone in, so I could say something. I'm lazy, I don't comment. It's the whistling, what's up? I like your music that you put here where know you are whistling. Be Blessed and Be Safe 😇

[@mikedtw]

I'm 6'4", had a '73 Corvette with t-tops and had no trouble whatsoever fitting in mine! While I honestly loved the car, my one bad memory was how hot the footwell got (no AC).

[@markruffner9143]

Very desirable year. Runs very well. Not the best paint but a good 10 footer. The only thing I would change is the title. Love this one.

[@Harry-oe5os]

That’s a nice ‘68! I have a ‘77 coupe with t-tops. White with dark blue interior. Nice shape but wish they would have stayed with the chrome bumpers.That’s a great color with the black convertible top too.Nice!😎🔥🇺🇸👍

[@1972Ray]

The government took those chrome bumpers from you.

[@EddyJean-claude]

You ain't kidding about that pipe sound. Real sweet.

[@lloydbellis7360]

One of my favourite all time cars. Love the corvettes. Sweet ride. 😎😎😎👍👍👍

[@bryanlang7548]

Beautiful car Nick it's not very often you see an interior this nice in a Vette of this year also I like the late 60's with the split Chrome bumpers good price on this sweet Vette

[@Russell9778]

Good job looking over the car

[@athos1974]

Love the angles and curves on this car.

[@kathyguinto4585]

That motor sounds bad ass!.What a beautiful car,love that candy apple paint!.John Guinto

[@MyHumanWreckage]

I own a Vette with a broken top latch and cable. One way you can get the top down is to flick the lock with your thumb like I do.😀

[@DanielFernandez]

So is no one going to talk about the ghost driving the car at the beginning?

[@GregoryKaczmarczyk]

Its a nice car. Looks perfect in my garage!

[@truebetold65]

Oh my goodness. Literally the best looking car on the lot.

[@CwsccnN9665]

Nick Between the gold one and this one which one was a nicer ride

[@thomashatch8515]

When you start the car, the seat belt warning light goes on and will stay on until you push the seatbelt button which turns it off. If will not go out on its own or if you buckle your seatbelt. My guess is the previous owner may have pulled the bulb and it is just burnt out.

[@jrsgarage3244]

Looks like most everything works, Nice Vette Mickey 👍🏁

[@rory693]

Early C3 convertible. A good appreciating classic for someone to tinker with.

[@beyond_the_infinite2098]

Power steering and power brakes are a must on a C3 - Corvette owner

[@susiehager5682]

Hubby and I did not see any windshield wipers nor a place foe them.🤷‍♀️

[@Jordanmilo]

Early C3 Corvettes hid their wipers under a movable panel. What a joke--in winter it would freeze shut and you couldn't use the wipers when you needed them.

[@wvdragracer]

Look so much better with top Up!

[@PYTHON1122]

Drop the price for the fixes. Nice looking car.

[@duncandmcgrath6290]

Plenty of love for the plastic fantastic 🤘

[@DavidJachowski]

Ready to buy

[@zora4216]

It would be nice if you commented on yhe engine, like is it the original one, has it bee rebuilt, is it a crate motor or what?

[@stevodakine1]

It’s a fair price. It only be with more as time goes on. Corvettes have a cult following so selling later won’t be hard. Prolly make a nice little profit and have fun driving it until you do.

[@jonathansongco4302]

Classic.

[@davidbell9130]

i love that color

I’ve done it! My kid goes to college in Nashville so on one of our trips, I made everyone drive up to Hendersonville to look at some badass old cars

[@fifie1]

Is the car sold ??

[@dbvetter7485]

The push button under the seat belt light turns it off. It should be on if you don’t use your seat belts. This used to be a free country were the government didn’t rule over everything you did.

[@haroldbirge6881]

🏆Sick🏆🍀get R done😎✌️

[@1661toby]

Seems like a nice car-the part I’m confused about is he quickly mentioned how it’s leaking through gaps in the window and quickly scanned it with the camera-sooo, they aren’t going to fix it but just let it sit on the lot and leak? Seriously? And expect us to drop $26k! It probably is a simple fix like the window/s need adjusted or weather strip fix! But to just let it keep leaking is something I don’t understand when it’s sitting outside! Very disappointed Maple Motors!

[@Danny-ju2ip]

No one is going to drive this in the rain if you own a classic Vette.

[@1661toby]

🙄 Danny, oh Danny, you missed the whole point my friend, but appreciate your response!

[@GregoryKaczmarczyk]

It's perfectly fine to drive, as I have been for the past few months. No 50+ year old car doesn't need work, unless it's a full restoration or a trailer queen which this car is neither.

[@LITTLE1994]

Nice C3

[@LITTLE1994]

[@paulhunter1735]

I can't come up with any good reason why someone took the power steering off of this car. Why would you want a workout every time you drive the car.

[@thud9797]

Power steering was an extra cost option on Corvette until 77 so this car likely never had it. Doesn't have power brakes either.

[@richardmesser1091]

I had one when new, what a rattle trap
