Canadian Delivered L88's?
 

I attended an NCRS Regional on the weekend as a spectator and there were 2 Canadian delivered C3's there.
Just wondering if there's any stats on how many L88's were delivered new to Canada?
Any 1967's delivered new to Canada?

Not sure if there is a more up to date list of the 67's but this link is fairly informative. I'm guessing Steve Bramati (SBR) probably has more/better information.

Thanks RPOLS3, interesting information.
I have heard at least 1 of the 67's may now reside in Canada but not sure on that.
It will be interesting to see how the red/red one does at Mecum in January.

My understanding and I could be wrong is that there were 3 Canadian delivered L88 Corvettes, all 69s. There is a black 67 L88 coupe that is in Canada but was a US delivered car.

I am hoping the 67 will hit the show circuit in Canada so I can maybe see it in the flesh.
There were 2 L88's at the NCRS show on the weekend that were said to be Canadian delivered cars. 1 yellow and 1 white, both 1969 Coupes.

There was a 1969 L88 LeMans Blue delivered to Beare? Motors Port Perry.

The owner had it at MCACN. Maple Leaf Muscle

Thanks Ryan.
I have a memory of a blue Corvette asking big $ in the Early 80’s in St. Catherines advertised in the Auto Trader. Who knows, maybe the same car?

Where was the white coupe from? Any pictures, VIN?

The White Coupe is #23055 - M40 car, Quebec delivered new.

In about 1982-84 a friend of mine went to look at a 1968 Corvette L88, if I remember correctly, a blue roadster, white top, that was advertised in the Toronto Star for $3,500 at the time. He drove the car and hated it saying it rattled and ran terrible. He knew what he was looking at as he had previously had a new 69 Nova SS, 396-375, M22, 4:88 gear car, a 67 Vette 435 and a 70 Z28. He told me the car was really tough. At that time the car would have been about 14 or so years old, so "just a used car" hence priced about right as collecting corvettes hadn't actually started in ernest then. He ended up buying a new 1984 Corvette, hence the time line. I had quite a few corvettes back in that time and went to many club events in Ontario; I never did see that car or hear of it again but we often discussed that car over the years and wondered what happened to it. Another friend in the early 70's had a yellow 69 coupe L88 car. The engine was pulled and went into a 65 Corvette roadster that another friend owned and whom I see a couple of times a week even now. The 69 went to BC and I understand an engine was restamped for that one. The L88 was still in the 65 when it was sold, much later than when the 69 disappeared from the London area.
