Wheeler Dealers season 15 episode 1 is titled '1968 Corvette'. The show follows car enthusiast Mike Brewer and mechanic Edd China as they search for classic cars that need some TLC, buy them, fix them up and sell them for a profit. In this episode, the dynamic duo are looking to restore and sell a 1968 Corvette.

Mike and Edd start off by scouring the internet and local listings for a suitable Corvette to buy. They finally find one in New York and head to the US to check it out. The car is in good condition, but is not running and needs some work. Mike haggles with the owner and they finally agree on a price of $15,000.

The guys bring the Corvette back to their workshop in the UK and begin the restoration process. Edd starts by taking apart the car's engine to see what needs to be fixed. He discovers that the engine block has a crack and needs to be replaced. This is bad news as it will cost a lot of money to fix. Mike and Edd have a discussion about the budget for the project and decide to go ahead with the repairs, despite the added cost.

Edd sets about fixing the engine block, which involves removing the old one and replacing it with a brand new one. He also replaces some of the damaged parts and reconditions the fuel system. Meanwhile, Mike is on the hunt for replacement wheels and tires – he manages to find some second-hand ones that fit the bill.

As the restoration progresses, the guys are faced with a few setbacks, such as the exhaust system being too rusty to be repaired and needing a complete replacement. However, they remain determined to see the project through to the end and do whatever it takes to get the Corvette back on the road.

With the restoration complete, the guys take the Corvette for a test drive. It's running smoothly and is a joy to drive. Mike and Edd agree that they have done a great job and that the car is now ready to be sold.

They take the finished Corvette to a classic car auction and manage to sell it for $35,000. This means they have made a profit of $20,000, which they are both thrilled with.

Overall, this episode of Wheeler Dealers is a great example of teamwork and determination. Mike and Edd faced a number of obstacles throughout the restoration, but they remained focused and committed to getting the job done. Classic car enthusiasts will enjoy watching the process of bringing a classic Corvette back to life and learning more about the mechanics behind it.
