This striking Chevrolet Corvette, ‘WGU475F’ dates from 1968 making it from the first year of C3, third generation production. ‘WGU475F’ spent the majority of its life in the temperate state of Florida before being imported to the UK in 2017. Since then, it has been in the ownership of its first and only UK keeper. ‘WGU475F’ is notable for its high degree of 1968 originality and highly impressive overall condition. This is due to the full restoration including an engine rebuild ,it enjoyed before being imported to the UK. ‘WGU475F’ presents in rarer but more desirable four speed manual form and is fitted with the 327 cubic inch small block V8. Today it is offered with a good level of paperwork relating to its time in Florida. ‘WGU475F’ is MOT exempt and zero rated for vehicle excise duty based on its Historic Vehicle status. As such it is ready to use and enjoy immediately and ideal for the summer months in this popular full convertible configuration.

‘WGU475F’ is a thoroughly captivating eye full in its bright Sahara Yellow livery, combined with its familiar “roulette wheel” rims and high profile Goodyear tyres with the sidewall text picked out in white. Those big oblong pop-up headlamps and muscular looking rear haunches seem to work so well in this desirable full convertible configuration. Both body and paintwork are in great condition. The upholstery contrasts very well with the bright external livery and is in new condition.

The C3 Corvettes were offered with a dizzyingly varied number of engine options and ‘WGU475F’ left the St. Louis plant fitted with the L30 327 cubic inch (5.4L) small block V8. This was carried over from the C2 model and was originally rated at between 300 – 350 bhp. In this case the desirable M20 four speed manual gearbox is fitted. The engine and transmission are excellent giving a powerful drive with a light clutch and perfect gear changes . All in all, ‘WGU475F’ represents a thoroughly delightful and original looking example of this most iconic of American muscle cars.
