    The $3.2 million Corvette

    Mark, there were 20 total 67' L-88's built, 16 Coupes, 4 convertibles. Can't answer exactly how many left, but at the "Earthquake 88" (display of invited L-88's to Bloomington) Special Collection, there were at least 9-67's at that show. 3 were restored in race car trim. Most of the L-88...

    The $3.2 million Corvette

    Mark, what piece are you thinking could be found at a junkyard to start a project from a Vin?

    The $3.2 million Corvette

    SR99, 5 years. 2 racing and 3 as a very fair weather driver. Klasse, 850 double pumper is correct, 3418 Holley, no choke on that carb. I believe that is a 67' only application. Alum heads yes, I wish I could remember the valve size and CC's in the head for you, too much water over the dam...

    The $3.2 million Corvette

    Actually, I ran an 11.00@130 at Woodburn with that car in 69' Very quick for a single 4-barrel 3,000 lbs. car in that era. Klasse, actually the 3rd member was factory stock, it was the half shafts and the drive line u-joints that were the weak link. Blew several u-joints. The bottom end was...
