Default Mecum auction: 68 L88 sells for 800K!

A new world record for a non raced 68/69 L88 Corvette, amazing. It's nice to see that these cars are getting the respect that they deserve.

Wow! L88's were killers! Never really got the respect that the COPO Camaros and LS6's got.

Steve,

Is that the car that was behind you at MCACN back in 2011?

Best,
Dave
