NSN-WOW..1968 Barn Found L88 Convertible, 427-560 hp at birth but underrated by GM to discourage the public from ordering for street use as the L88 was purpose built for off-street use (racing) and only those in the know ordered the L88 as evidenced by the production numbers. Quantity built: 1967=20, 1968=80, 1969=116... total three year L88 production equaled a total of only 216 units. The L88 Corvette is the Holy Grail for any Corvette and/or car collector and commands all the respect afforded to a priest's smoking thurible at Saturday evening mass. This 1968 Corvette is Rally Red with a Red interior (1 of 2 known to exist) and is optioned as follows: M-22 special heavy duty transmission, J-50 power brakes, J-56 special heavy duty brakes, K-66 transistor ignition, F41 special heavy duty suspension, G81 heavy duty posi-trac rear end. This Corvette was bought new at Modern Chevrolet in Winston Salem, NC and purchased by me on September 24th, 2008 from its one and only owner currently residing in north Florida. This car was street raced for bounty from day one and was never beaten and was retired in the early '80's after the clutch and pressure plate disintegrated and then put in storage until September 24th, 2008. The body and paint was original with exception of four flares installed over the top of the original fenders and custom design graphics were painted over the original paint. The interior was original as was its untouched chassis, brake system, and most L88 related components. This one owner Corvette was inspected on November 7th, 2008 in its raw unrestored untouched condition and certified by: David Burroughs, Gary Nabers, Kevin J. Mackay, John Ballard, Tom Christman, Terry Michaelis, and subsequently Chuck Berge on November 22nd, 2008. This Corvette is now in Houston, Tx. being body-off restored by internationally famous Naber Brothers Restoration of SPEEDtv fame as they were responsible for the incredible restoration of the Last Sting Ray. This restoration should be finished by early April 2009 and I have registered this L88 for NCRS certification (April). Also this L88 has been invited for display in the Bloomington Gold Special Collection (June 2009). I have a large three ring binder with volumes of pre-restoration photos, over 7 hours of raw footage on HDV (high definition video) with sound including on location in north Florida with the original owner and on November 7th, 2008 with the hobby's most knowledgeable and credible L88 experts. For more information and a pre-restored (in process) price on this rare Red/Red L88 one owner, email tmichaelis@charter.net or terry@proteamcorvette.com For more information on the original owner, Ronnie Joyner, and this L88 Corvette, Click Here.
