Re: L88

I have been out for the weekend but, is anyone looking for a real deal 69 L-88? I found one in Renton Wa. Looks like original car. Car seemed expensive at 350K.

Reg,
any more info on the L88 ?

THANKS TOM

Re: L88

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

Tom, Phil -- Yes, 1967 MY was different. J56 could be had with any BB. This is confirmed by the dealer order form, and in fact by GM Canada-delivered Corvettes. There's a Montreal dealer that ordered and received several L36's with big brakes.

Re: L88

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 ?

regards Tom

Now in a private collection in Tampa. New owner contacted me Friday. Car got a Bloomington Gold in '87 and a Duntov in '88. Car has a real storied history. 2nd owner could be called a serious street racer, to say the least. Was clocked on radar at 156. The trooper told me that it went by so fast, he was not sure what it was, other than a white car

Re: L88

Last I heard the Garner L88 was headed to Seattle or Tacoma area, I do not know exactly where or who has it now. I will see the seller in March (Jim Herlinger) when he receives the C5R that won the ALMS series. I'll ask him if he knows then.

I was there at the auction, what a great sight to see Dick drive the car onto the stage! He is a great guy for all you that have not been fortunate enough to meet him!
