L88

Re: L88

Good provenance, original engine high 6 digits, possibly 7 digits.

1.5 m to 3m in that range

Re: L88

From reading this post I estimate a 69 L88's selling price could run from $300,000 to $450,000. I'm guessing but I figure a 68 would be in the same range. However, does anyone have a guess of what a 67 L88 selling price may be? It must be way up there.

Thanks

68-69, 300k to 750k

67 , 1.5 m to 3m

I agree completely with Tom's assessment. The last one accepted as "genuine" that I am aware of, went across the auction block in 2007 (a roadster). The high bid of 1.55 million did not meet the reserve, at a collector car auction house that permits reserves.
I also know of two different collectors, who have put a standing offer of one million in cash out, for at least the past four years. No takers.

Re: L88

Tom, I agree with your range in prices. I have seen several private sales of 68/9 L88s in the last few years. The low mile car that mecum sold in 07 for 442K was a nice car. I however have seen higher prices for other L88 cars in the range from 500K to 600K for street L88s.

how much did the James Garner race car sell for a few months ago ? 68 L88

Re: L88

Tom, I believe that it sold in the 750K area.

Re: L88

Is the Garner AIR "street car" still around?

Steven, this is the car that Tom was referring to. It sold at the RM auction last year for about 750K.

Re: L88

Tom, take a look at this abbreviated list of 1969 options.
Note the L88 ordered count, along with J56 brakes.

J50
Power Brakes
16,876
J56
Special Heavy Duty Brakes
115
K66
Transistor Ignition System
5,702
L36
427ci 390hp Engine
10,531
L46
350ci 350hp Engine
12,846
L68
427ci 400hp Engine
2,072
L71
427ci 435hp Engine
2,722
L88
427ci 430hp Engine

116

Is it possible that these counts do not include mandatory options, maybe there are 115 non L-88s with J-56. 81 J-56s cars in 68 with only 80 L-88 cars. 267 J56s in 67. Phil 8063

68/69 I DON'T THINK SO, I haven't seen a Factory 69 non L88 with J56
67 Is different , not sure about 67 L88 & J56

Re: L88

Last I heard was the AIR "press" car was under restoration. The other AIR L88 car is in Mt. View, CA in pieces, maybe to be restored some time....

Re: L88

Dick, if I am remembering correctly, it was monza red, with saddle interior, and was referred to in the auction, as the only one produced in those colors. Ridge.

Dick, I think Ridge was talking about the other L88 that sold at Mecum in 2007, It wasn't the L88 that Reg was saying is for sale in WA. state ?

Was your L88 a 69 ? The white/saddle convertible L88 , Corvette Mike in CA. got a Duntov with that car in 2005 or so , sold it to guy in Ft Wayne in 2006 , just sold by the new owner last month, I think Kruse has it ?
