On “My Car Story” we're in Rosemont IL at the Muscle Car and Corvette Nationals on 11-16-23.
We’re looking at a 1968 Chevrolet Corvette Convertible in Bronze Paint. The car comes with a 427 CI L89 V8 engine with aluminum heads producing 435 HP with a 4 Speed manual transmission.
The car's Owner is Joe Verrillo. Joe’s had this car since 2022. Joe shares this is a one year only color “Corvette Bronze”. Joe’s always had a love for cars, and worked his way up until he bought some cars and became a Dealer of cars. Here is one of his personal car, and this one looks showroom new.

Hi, If you like this video, please click on SUPER THANKS ❤ with the $ in the middle which is the SUPER THANKS button under the video. Thank you! Lou
When I was 19 I had a chance to buy a 69 Vette 427 4-speed. The local Chevy dealer had one on the used car lot and just wanted it gone. My insurance agent told me I was insane and would never be able to get insurance. How unreasonable. Your featured Vette is spectacularly nice!! I have never seen one with multiple carbs.
Hi JWelchon, Ahhh the Vette cost for insurance spoiled the deal. If you type into RUclips search "My Car Story with Lou Corvette" I think you'll see many you'll enjoy, Lou
Joe has some of the nicest Corvettes on the planet. This 68 is just stunning.
I agree.
My favorite 'Vette at the show. You can not go wrong with Corvette bronze. Jus' otherworldly.
Happy to read this one is the favorite Vette at a great car show for you :-)
Lou is right about there never being a bad Corvette. They're all great
Happy to read you enjoy them all too danam0228
But what an attractive appearance this 1968 Chevrolet Corvette C3 Convertible has in that striking, and rare, "Corvette Bronze" color! For me, the third generation of this legend is one of the most attractive, with very beautiful and well-kept lines. From the beautiful additional air ducts on the hood, to those gill-style side vents, and ending with those bulging and elegant rear hips; Everything about this shark-like design is impossible to ignore! A fairly sporty interior, with an instrument panel and layout similar to that of an airplane. For its time, the power developed by that 427 CI L89 V8 engine with an aluminum head is surprising; apart from how it roared! Finally, and as a hallmark of that time, its unforgettable double retractable headlights (which, by the way, remained in a good wink until they finally decided to open them haha). How good it is, that this classic shark brings back pleasant memories of Mr. Verrillo's youth! Great vehicle, and video, Lou!
Hi Jaime, Happy to read "For me, the third generation of this legend is one of the most attractive, with very beautiful and well-kept lines." you enjoy the C3s :-) Glad to share this 427 and the sounds with you, Lou
I'm more of a red body, black interior, white top kind of guy, but this color combo suits it very well indeed
Hi TopCarsTV, Happy to read "this color combo suits it very well indeed" :-) Lou
You found the best of the C3 here, Lou, this one is awesome! Thanks for this cool feature today! Bruce
Happy to read this one is "awesome!" :-) You're welcome Bruce H.
That color rocks! The bronzes and coppers looked good on pretty much any muscle-era car. 👍
High praise for the color :-)
Beautiful Corvette with all the Right Stuff ! Thanks for posting Lou !
Hi Rudy, Happy to read you enjoy the looks of this Corvette with all the right stuff :-) You're welcome, Lou
Beautiful Corvette Lou, never seen one that color before. My Uncle had a black 69 427 4 speed he bought off a coworker in maybe about 1981. He had for a couple of years. He had just switched over to working night shifts from the day shift at his job, he fell asleep driving home early one morning and rear-ended a Coca-Cola tractor trailer and totalled the car out.
Hi PlymouthDuster225, Happy to read this car brings back memories of your Uncles black car :-) Sad to read the end result :-( Thank you for viewing and sharing, Lou
Now, that is the C3 to have! And the color is just fantastic, too. Somebody get me a mop & bucket, because this one has me drooling. Thanks, Lou!
Hi TheGunfighter45acp, Happy to read this one has you drooling :-) You're welcome, Lou
The guy mentioned about taking his C7 out going through the years the rumble and it brought back memories. I had a beautiful 60 impala convertible and a guy stop by and a brand new 67 Corvette with side pipes and three carburetor 435 horse. And when he got out of the car, he headed straight for my convertible and started asking questions about it and I felt so honored I said you know you pulled in here and your Corvette and my jaw hit the floor and I was just digging the sound of the look and then you complement my car. I said I’m just totally stunned, so then I walked him over towards his car and we got to talking about it and he asked me if I’d like to drive it you could’ve knocked me over with a feather. I said sure I was working at a Chevrolet dealer but I was only 16 at the time And how your friend described the idol and everything that left a impression on my mind and the first thing the guy said to me when I got in it was go ahead and drive it like you want he said it’s under full warranty so if anything happens, they gotta fix it so I took him in his word and I power shifted to three gears and he just smiled and said yeah there you go. He said that’s way to do it. He said every now and then when I do it it gets a little hung up memorable memorable. I’ll never forget it.
Hi James, Happy to read this car brings back FUN memories :-) Thank you for viewing and sharing, Lou
My favorite body style of Corvette, and this is one of those triple WOW cars! Thanks, Lou for always showing us the best stuff.
Hi Fred and Debra MacDonald, Happy to read this one is a "triple WOW cars!" :-) You're welcome, Lou
That is so so BEAUTIFUL 🥰❤️👍 you know when I see these beautiful old classics it serves as a reminder at just how great the Detroit muscle car industry was back in the old days. Sometimes I need like a wake-up call to remind me. Compared to today's cars which look like junk, bulky bloated and overweight full of electronics that not the average person can wrench on. The old classics were way way ahead of their time. Congratulations Joe, you are indeed a lucky guy to own such a beauty ❤️🥰👍💪 and Lou Constable you host a wonderful channel 👍

Hey Lou. This one is top shelf. I like the 3 deuces.The styling is working at every angle. I have never seen that color on a Corvette before, nice. I always liked this generation. I'm sure it runs as good as it looks. What a way to go. Thanks.

Wonderful C3 - love the colour and naturally the engine.
Another rare classic for the channel. It must have looked quite futuristic when it was released.
Thanks Lou!

Beautiful automobile. Classic Corvette from my day. These new ones today ? Nah.

Hi Tommy, Happy to read you enjoy the looks of this car :-) Lou
My high school was across the street from a large Chevrolet dealership. While waiting for the bus, I'd sit in all of the used Corvettes. No one wanted them because of the gasoline crisis. For $1,500, I could have bought this car.
Hi C Howard, Happy to read this car brings back memories of sitting in a car like this waiting for the bus :-) Thank you for viewing and sharing, Lou
@@willydavid Porbably not but 427s for sure! I didn't mess with small blocks or 396 cars
Goodday Lou,
It just gets better and better watching your channel. Again thanks to you a real fond respect for C3 Corvette's & this one it is top of the food chain.
The Ultimate Corvette & a great little cameo at the end & that famous Lou Baby line, luv it.
Cheers

As always thank you Lou for posting yet another one of your excellent videos! The 1968 Corvette you featured is one sharp looking and beautiful car!
Happy to read you enjoy this "sharp looking and beautiful car!" with you :-) You're welcome JackFlemingFan.
Such a nice car! I had a older cousin who bought a new 427 Tri-Power in 1967. As a 10 yr old i still remember him flooring it when we we’re already going 100 mph. That was unreal. Only a few months old it was stolen in Detroit. Never found car. In 1978 a local Mazda dealer had a mint one. I drove it but clutch was slipping. I offered 8900.00 they said 9000.00 like a dummy said nope. I was not a fan of the factory yellow paint. They had a MINT 1967 Cougar GT 390. I drove it home instead. Still have paperwork on that one.
Hi Randy's Restoration, Happy to read you enjoy this "nice car!" :-) Glad to read this car brings back memories of your Cousins car. Thank you for viewing and sharing, Lou
Whoo Hoo !!! Hey Lou !
Hey Get7Out7ofthe7Boat ! Happy to receive a "Whoo Hoo !!!" from you, Lou
Lou, we need to put into the MCACN suggestion box "Build test track in back of the convention center". We need to see these bad boys runnin' wild like they were designed to, and with you in the passenger seat. Corvette Bronze is a STUNNING color. I'll bet it looks 10x better in the sunlight. Love the video Lou!
Test track addition to the car show.....Tom (and JudyAnn) that is a GOOD IDEA!
This car never to be enjoyed on open road again .. I have grandads rare corvettes and they are driven drove the 1963 fuelie to west virginia this Thanksgiving only 890 miles from home no big deal but most people at fuel stop were shocked it was driven so far from home .. I promised grandpa I would treat his his cars as he did no trailer drive them and enjoy .. great video thanks for posting 😊
Hi Quagmire Davis, Happy to read you're taking Grandads cars for a ride. Well done! My pleasure sharing with you. You're welcome, Lou

Got to love this head-turner, thnx guys. . . :>/
Happy this one turns your head :-) You're welcome Dr. Candor.
In 1969, my junior high math teacher owned a ‘68 Corvette in bright yellow. He was just…
cool. I was shocked when he traded it in for a ‘72 Monte Carlo. Perhaps he couldn’t
afford the insurance on a teacher’s salary?
Hi Rob, Happy to read this car brings back memories of your Jr High Math Teachers car :-) Thank you for viewing and sharing, Lou
Nice C3.

Nice 😊
Hi Michael, Happy to read "Nice" :-) Lou
Read up on the 68s. When new, they garnered so many quality control and design complaints, that a record number of changes were required for the 69 model. Anyone old enough to remember these cars in the showroom or dealer lot, knows that this bronze 68, as beautiful as it is, is over-restored paint-wise. The original St Louis paintjob would have been Maaco or Earl Scheib on a bad day.

Cool car but with an 11:1 compression, will it run on premium? I'd want a car I could drive regularly
Hi k, I'd put premium in it. I'd also suggest another car, and keep this "Cool car" for special occasions, Lou
were is the reverse lights ??? need to fix that
Not sure.
Take a look, the back up lights are under the bumpers.
Concourse with the wrong wheels?
Thanks for sharing what you notice.
Thank you for all the muscle car videos, I really enjoy them. @@loucostabile
Anyone have 300,000. I could borrow 😅

Contact biden, he would buy that
