1967 L88 Corvette Coupe
|
That one is pretty much the Holy Grail of '67 Corvettes. Wonder how many millions that will go for?

This is a beautiful L88 with paperwork. It will be good to see it again. It went through Barrett Jackson a number of years ago.

I remember seeing this car at Bloomington Gold back in 1993 when the Naber brothers just completed its restoration. It was absolutely stunning. It only received a silver at the time because the owner found an over the counter L88 stamped block (correctly dated) and refused to stamp the vin on the pad. When asked why he didn't stamp the vin he said "if I do that it not only raises questions about this car but every other car I have owned or will own" I wish more people had those values. I hope it breaks the bank!

The white Cliff Gotlob L88 has its original engine. The sun fire yellow L88 also has a validated tank sticker.
A local friend put a 1969 L88 long block in his L88 and chose the same route by not stamping the VIN of the car on the Tonawanda long block. That turned out to be a great decision when a wonderful member of this site found the actual ORIGINAL engine for his car. The Tonawanda long block with a factory stamp would have been ruined with a fake VIN stamped on it. |
The Lyndale convertible also has its original engine.

----Bill,,, I know this 12 mile car well. The 12 mile car had black interior, and the engine was lost so another 67 L-88 engine was installed. Dave B of BG fame did most of the freshening up after it left Jerome Shinkays ownership. I believe that the red on red L88 pictured was a Chicago area car that was drag raced. Can't remember the OO's name at the moment.....Bill S

Bill, I did not know that there are (2) Red 1967 L-88 Coupes with out their original engines. My mistake with confusing this 12,000 mile Red interior car with the 12 Mile David Burroughs owned Black interior car I showed next to at BG 1993. That's the year your Wife Jan made me all those white BENCHMARK Polo Shirts. My apologies. Never saw an L-88 I didn't like, Love Both cars though. Bill
