1967 Big Tank L-88 Corvette
 

I don't know if this post belongs here, if not sorry. I have a low mileage 67 L-88 Corvette, 1 of 20 made. I have owned this car and about 20 others for almost 35 years. My question is does any body have a clue as to the value of this car. I have a guy begging me for it to go in a huge collection. I will try to attach pics. web page

i was at the rm auction in arizona 2007 and they had a 67 l88 there. i believe it was originally raced by lorenzo? it was fully restored with born with mechanicals and i believe it sold for 1.4 million. imop i feel the 67 l88 was the epitome of chevy performance. last year of the sexiest bodystyle and first year of the screaming l88. i would keep that l88 in your hands!

I agree. A large tank L88 coupe would be a keeper.

A car of this caliber is only as good as it's documentation and it's acceptance as real by the Corvette community. A real Big Tank L88 however would be priceless and my own estimite would be $4m plus.

Contact Kevin Mackay of Corvette Repair in NY. He is the most knowledgeable source for L88 and rare racecar Corvettes.

Well, I know a little about these Big-Tank Mid-years. My father had a 1963 Z06 Split Window with the Fuel Injection, Big Brakes and 36-Gallon gas tank. I know they only made two (2!) '67 Tankers. One is a well-known White/Blue interior coupe with the 327/350HP L-79 engine and I can't remember if the second '67 has ever been accounted for. If you really do have this car with documentation, you probably have the most desirable and most valuable Corvette on the planet Earth (except fot the '63 Grand Sports). 1967 L-88's are million-dollar cars are yours would be the only one with the 36-Gallon gas tank. I'm begging you to PLEASE post pictures.

Ronald,

Is the yellow car in your picture, the L-88 you speak of with a "Big Tank"? If so, I believe you could only order a big tank in a Coupe body style and not a Convertible as the yellow car in the picture appears to be.

This is one of those threads that will end up being very entertaining. I honestly look forward to watching its progression.

------Bill is of course correct. An adventerous guy could make a 36gal. tank fit a roadster, but there never was one built by Chevrolet. I have seen two 67s over the years that had been retrofitted with "big-tanks". Both were dedicated race cars, and in no way were delivered with the large tank!!! As far as your roadster is concerned we would need to know about documentation, etc. to know how to value it. Paperwork is absolutely everything on any L/88, weather its a 67,8,or 9 .......Bill S
