      The 327 was nicknamed the "Mighty Mouse" for a good reason, 7000 RPM shifts were the Greatest thing !

    For this Vette is 56 yrs old now and she is real blast form the past and very clean to boot. American made for everything of this car and I do not understand why these car do not bring more. For I was born before the last 2 stars was put on the Flag and she should have more honor than what she is sold for. Old Master Gunnery SGT USMC.

    A nice, clean driver. I'm impressed to see the smog pump still in place. Your dealership must be one of the most thorough when it comes to showing the car's features and flaws. That's a rare quality today and much appreciated. No surprises. There's nothing more that will piss a customer off more than a misrepresented car. Hope to visit your dealership in the near future. That's the prettiest '68 C3 I've seen in a long time.
