Introduced in 1968, the Chevrolet Corvette C3 has become a veritable icon of American motoring. Its impressive, slick-backed styling, long-nosed profile and host of powerplants all seemed to indicate pure speed and power. It's little wonder that they've become one of the most cherished of Chevrolet's repertoire.

This particular car is equipped with the high-performance L82 engine, delivering 225 hp, and features upgraded Edelbrock parts. It's a very desirable spec, one that lends itself as well to high octane performance as it does to long distance cruising. Decked out in an impressive black livery, with a comfortable dark blue leather cabin, and you've got a serious head turner on your hands.

If you've always been curious about these coke-bottle-shaped wonders, or are a seasoned C3 aficionado seeking your latest steed, this car will prove a very capable addition to your garage.
