 Is one Corvette enough for you?

We thought so...and that's why you'll enjoy the story behind Terry and Kathy Smith's L68-powered Shark...only in December's Corvette Fever.

It's "HS68VET"...to go along with her '68 Vette!

When Terry and Kathy Smith had their L79-powered '68 Vette picked for the "Funfest 50" at Mid America Motorworks' Corvette Funfest back in '03, they were slotted in the display between two other Vettes (a '67 and a '69)...but they weren't smallblocks!


No, that's not the solid lifter L71 427...it's the hydraulic-lifter L68, with the K19 A.I.R. pump on it.

That led the Smiths to look for a 427-powered '68...this Safari Yellow L68-powered one.  December's Corvette Fever not only has the low-down on this first-year Shark...it's also the cover car!



See if you can find the only 2 non-'68 items in the Smith's '68s cabin. (HINT: Look near the brake handle.)
