Default Survivor 1968 435 Nickey Corvette found

On a recent trip to NY I went to a friends house to see his collection of survivor Corvettes and his 69 Z/28. One of the cars was this super nice 68 Corvette Bronze/Tobacco interior two top roadster 427/435 sold new at Nickey. The car was original paint and looked great with those wire wheel covers. He told me he has the tank sticker and other Nickey paperwork for the car. I didn't see the paperwork since it was in a safe at his fathers house, but the car was fantastic. He would like to bring the car to the sYc reunion and display the car and paperwork. I think that would be great. My friend Bob as a 69' 435 original Daytona Yellow coupe sold new at Yenko that he wants to bring too. Both a Nickey and a Yenko sold 427/435 at the reunion would be a first...BKH

That is very cool. We'll need to put it in the Nickey Sold Registry. We have a few L71 Vettes. Including one which had a few options installed before it left Nickey Chevrolet. We even know of and inspected a Survivor 1968 L89 Vette Convertible.

Great Idea for the Reunion.
