    Mothballed 68 L88?

    ok, I come to you, the experts (even though many of you can be found on other Corvette forums I haunt, this place is sort of holy). Here's picture linked from another forum (not even Corvette, but even they were excited) where one of the many cars in a private collection (that other site discussion, and additional photos, is here: http://www.corral.net/forums/showthread.php?t=672487 ) was this 68 L88 still bearing what appears to be its original window sticker. What do you all have to say, is this a well-known 68 L88, an unknown find, or something else?

      One of the comments is that the garage and cars were won in a divorce settlement and are owned by a now single woman. Ahhhh, I think I'm in love!

        -------One of those pics had a "Special Collection" poster from the not too distant past. None of the cars pictured rang a bell with me though. Anyone else?............Bill S

          Could be Joe DeMesys old car that was in the special collection a few years ago. His car was a nice original car with about 20K miles on it.

            BTW the window sticker in my opinion is a repop.

                    Hello Jack,
                    This car was shown at the 1988 Bloomington Gold Special Collection. It is the only known Cordovan coupe of the 80 cars produced todate.
                    The window sticker is a reproduction.
                    The car Lou Groebner ownes is Corvette Bronze coupe VIN 11,031.
                    Check the view user profile of cars that I am researching. We live near each other, contact me. I am the North East Chapter Judging Chairman. Drew
