I wasn't able to figure out from the description whether this one still wears its original paint, but it certainly looks like an unmolested, clean car.
Also delivered new to Hamilton Chevrolet on Mound Rd in Warren, MI, about 10 miles from my house. The dealer is still in business today....

The 1968 Corvette is the one to get if you want a good Corvette at a low buy in price.

Seems to sit low in the back. Maybe needs spring replaced or re-arched?

Take a look at the trim tag , it looks like it's been taped off and the jambs painted. So much for original paint. Ask yourself why would a low mileage car need the jambs painted? I can see a 51 year old needing the exterior refinished but the jambs. It appears maybe the car was painted Red at some point then back to Green. Looks like there's a trace of red paint on the trim tag.

A friend of mine Ralph just brought to my attention that the quarter panels are 1970 and up with the flares at the rear of the tires. That's definitive proof it's not the original paint.

----Funny it's only the rear quarters. 69 quarters aren't that hard to get, so its almost like the owner wanted the later quarters...…..Bill S

That car has probably been back-halfed with a 1970 half
