Default Custom 68 Vette, what do you think?

This is for sale locally. It's supposed to have a 427 in it but I don't know much else. Any idea where the aftermarket body stuff came from? I REALLY like this car. It's gaudy but there's something about it I really like. He's asking $15000 for it. Opinions?? Could it be worth the $15k this modified?

It could be Ecklers components, probably done in the '70's and I have to admit, I like it. Check for the big block components. Rear sway bar, thick front sway bar, heavy duty half shafts with four bolt caps on the inboard side. If a 435 horse look for a 6,500 rpm tach and transistor ignition. Probably not a bad starting point from a price standpoint if the paint isn't too bad. Tuck and roll interior?

There were many suppliers you could purchase those kits from. It could be over the counter Motion pieces or
one of many others. The Mako Shark take off on the Chaparral II body style for some reason has been
very popular for the last 30 years.

Very cool car as is I think.. I saw it on ebay a while back. 15k seems pretty fair to me if your not interested I would be.

I would say the paint style is more 81-84 not 70's.

There is a part of me that still likes "the crazier, the better"
buy it.
