First Vette clock I,ve seen and am liking it already. Hope it,s got the L-88 tri power engine!!! You did a awesome job on this one!!! Keep them coming!!!

That would be awesome to have the L-88 tri power.. unfortunately it's powered by a Japanese PC21S movement with a SR626SW battery.. 😂 

Thank you for the kind words..

Was out sawing some ornaments and was thinking about your comment with the motor combo etc.. got me to thinking.. I'm thinking it'd run a little fast and not keep time too well with that kinda power and torque, 😂

I was wondering how a 68 Corvette could be brand new, now I know it's a clock.  You got me there Kevin.  Looks great, well done.

Yeah it couldn't be brand new from 1968 it'd have to be 2019 wouldn't it.. I think the correct term would be brand new NOS ( New Old Stock ) is the correct term.. though not sure that applies to cars.. I know car parts and tractor parts do because I used to sell parts like that.. 

Thank you for the kind words

The SR626SW is quite a workhorse!   😋   Sold hundreds of them when I was with the Shack.

Yes Sir... They are the best.. I order my clocks specifically with that battery in it... If not then they put in some china battery that last almost long enough to set the clock, LOL..  I sure miss the Shack.. I'm not sure if they all closed up or just the ones in my area.. but we do not have any around here anymore.. Was one of my favorite stores back in the day.. Always buying parts to hop up my C/B radios.. LOL

All the company stores are gone.  There a few scattered franchise operations left.  The store I started in is a franchise and Stan is still doing business, but is unsure how long the name will last.

I spent 20+ years on the company side.  Made a lot of friends across the counter and across the country. (Just can't remember half their names anymore)

Beautiful Vette ! I almost bought one like  that years ago. Then Dad found out what insurance was for a 17yr old boy and a ‘68 427 Vette was...no way...😥

Yeah as a parent or as a insurer, I could see why that was a no.. LOL

As a young boy though.. I wouldn't understand that.. No dad, I'll not speed.. I'll drive it like grandma drives.. ( That probably would be worst, LOL )
