What makes 1968 parts different than 1969-. It seems the car is basically identical, but all the parts have unique part numbers.

First year of the C3, just like my buddy who has a 2005 and alot of the parts for the '05 will fit only '05.

First year of the C3, just like my buddy who has a 2005 and alot of the parts for the '05 will fit only '05.I own a 1968 . Although they look like a 69, there are many unique things about a 68. Key in dash, push buttons on doors, all red taillights with backup lights in panel under rear bumpers, no stingray emblems even though they were refered to as a stingray in 1968 corvette literature, no map pocket on dash and the last year for the 327 engine ,and a few other small differences. Basically though , 68 and 69 are the same car.

From what I understand the door panels are another difference from later models.
