Default Re: 1967 Big Tank L-88 Corvette

------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

------I should have said that I had seen 2 "63 to 67" Corvette "roadsters" converted to big tank cars over the years. Sorry for the unintentional miscue! ........Bill S

I can understand owning a 67 L88 tanker and keeping it to yourself. If, on the other hand, you decide to tell the world you own an original low mile 67 L88 tanker it would seem prudent to be ready to prove the claim undeniably.
This 67 L88 factory tanker that is claimed here is bull [censored]. I will be forthright and magnanimous in my apology when proven wrong. Until then...it's Horse [censored].

Well said 737Driver and my thoughts exactly. Black Book shows two NO3 tankers and 20 L88's in 67. I doubt many of that combination have flown under the NCRS radar for all these years.

the yellow l88 in question is a real l88 , but is not a big tank car . and the person posting the ad is not the owner.

All the original poster asked is what is it worth. He has his answer. He is under no obligation to prove what he has regardless of anyone else's interest in what it may or may not be.
