Ah, you got me on the Z28. But was no Corvette in '68. Was only a Stingray. Won't find the word Corvette anywhere on that car, nor in the parts manuals back then. Everyone refers to it as a Corvette, and certainly looks like the Corvette of '69, because became the Corvette Stingray in '69.

The muscle car that Chevy had plans for was the Corvair, but Nader and his Raders put the cabosh on the Corvair, so last year was '67. Take a look at the '67 and see how much resembles the Stingray of '68. Was no way after putting that much money and R+R in that thing that Chevy was gonna put "Corvair" on it, and watch it go down the drain with the "unsafe" stigma attached to it. In '68 both the Corvette and Corvair disappeared, the Stingray appeared, was renamed the Corvette Stingray in '69.

Locate some old Chevy literature from then, especially AC Delco parts books. Not the newer ones of today, but from back then.

You got me on the Z28 though. Were screamers back then.
