What am I missing here. I don't really understand what "documented" means. Is this something special or what? :confused: :confused: Somebody explain it to me.

I think this is capitalism at work. Take a rare car, price it at $300,000 and sell it at the firesale price of $100,000 to someone who has money to burn.

I've seen somewhere that a '67 L88 went for $250,000, so I can see how one might get $300,000. The thing that bothers me about this one is "most numbers match".

Chuck Gongloff

A real factory built L88, documented with the tank sticker, ownership history, and other things I suppose. Not a clone. A roadster too....not too many L88's built in 67...20 or so as I recall. How many were roadsters as opposed to coupes? Don't know. It's a very rare car. Dave Burroughs turned down $700,000 for his 67 L88 coupe with 12 original miles on it a few years ago at the Bloomington Gold auction. Would I pay 300K for it...?? It's way out of my league, but it is truly a high dollar car if it's real. Chuck

Not necessarily for an L-88. L-88s and especially '67s are arguably considered the most collectible Vettes. In 1998 at Bloomington, I saw a '67 L-88 go thru the auction. The car had only about 20 miles on it and the sticker was still on the window - bidding went to $750,000, but the car did not sell - the reserve was rumored to be $1 million. :eek: :eek:

A nice original '67 L88 (20 built) is probly the most expensive corvette you can buy next to a '69 ZL1 (2 built). If it is perfect i could see it gong for that much. You would have to find out what most numbers match means to figure out how much this one is really worth.

R. Bruno

Wow! I stand corrected! :conehead You'd think it would at least have hubcaps for that kind of money. :jester

ya its rare and all, but most # match and the shape it looks in doesnt look perfect..i think the sellers high :crazy: now dont get me wrong im a vette person thru and thru but $300,000 is a hell of a nice house and i coulnt c paying that much for any kind of vehicle

Alwyn678

If it is for real then it is probably worth it

Chris@VetteFinders

Yep, very nice car to own.

look around at that sight...all the prices are higher then they should be, IMO.

Chump change.....if you're Bill Gates :lol:

:cool: :cool: But more money than I can scrape together :rolleyes: :rolleyes: :rolleyes:

.....and a spare tire tub(see pic). Supposedly somewhere I once read "out of the original 20 '67 L-88s built, only 12 have ever surfaced(although Bloomington has Certified 37 of them???)"and only 4 have "their original" engine. Saw a Red '67 L-88 a few years ago sell for $500,000. Too bad, my VISA limit is only $17,000!!! :lol:

67HEAVEN

I'm gonna guess that the tub and the trim rings/centre caps will come with it. Probably popped them off before pulling onto the track in 1967 and never put 'em back on.

If this car is a real L-88 (with undisputed documentation) it's worth that price and more (assuming that the car is in very good condition under close inspection).

The top 5 list of extremely desireable Corvettes includes (in my order....you set your own order):

1. 1963 Grand Sport
2. 1967 L-88
3. 1969 ZL-1
4. 1969 L-88
5. 1968 L-88

Could you say that I'm stuck in the '60s? :lol: :lol: :lol:

69 N.O.X. RATT

My list would be

1 1953 ser. # 001
2 1963 Grand Sport
3 One of the rumored ? 1966 L-88,s
4 1969 ZL-1 (the most fun to drive)
5 1967 L-88

:chevy :chevy :chevy

A few years ago a 69 ZL1 sold for $300,000 from Federal Marshals in South Florida. This was not the asking price. This was actual selling price. I have heard recently that this car is now valued at a cool one million dollars.

There are only two factory ZL1 Corvettes known to exist.

ROFL...I don't think I've ever seen "Most numbers match." :rolleyes: It sounds like the guy doesn't want to sell the car...he just wants to insure it and "accidentally" leave it in neutral and roll it off a cliff.

Not necessarily the L88 cars did not come with fan shrouds either. The L88 car were meant to race thus the 430hp rating. They had the 435 tri power for the average driver that wanted the "fastest" Corvette. 20 L88s were made, and 16 L89 aluminum head tri-power cars in 67.

Add a 55 3 speed manual to the rarest list only 7 were built if I remember correctly, and any mid year big gas tank car. The mid years are by far the most collectable Corvettes.

What needs do is put huge tires and wheels, tub out the fenders, and add a 6 speed and air conditioning....along with computer Fuel Injection....
would take another twenty thousand to make it liveable.... :D :D :cool: :cheers:
