SOLD 1969 L88 Corvette Convertible in Monza Red for sale by Corvette Mike Anaheim California 92807

1969 Chevrolet Corvette L88 Convertible Monza Red w/Black interior, 427/430hp, automatic transmission. When Corvette aficionados get together to talk shop, the subject of classic Corvettes will inevitably come up. When it does, it's a fair bet that the ultimate Corvette will be a topic of discussion. We're talking about the legendary L-88! This monster was produced for only three years in very limited quantities ('67-20, '68-80, 69-116) and were strictly race cars that you could drive (barely) on the street. The hp rating was a joke and posted 5hp under the L-71 427/435hp engine to discourage the average buyer who had no idea what this beast really was. The actual hp was closer to 560! The cars success on the track, both in the 1/4 mile and road course speaks for itself and just mentioning the name L88 still strikes fear in its competitors! All L88's are special, but this one is a stand out! It's one of the rarest ever built. One of only a 17 automatics and the only Red L88 Convertible known to exist! An L88 equipped from the factory with a Turbo 400, 3-sp automatic transmission lent itself perfectly for the drag strip! If you add into the equation the fact that this one's also a convertible, you end up with an even rarer package! Great owner history. Orig title still with the car. Sold new out of Chicago. Tank sticker. Restored by Tim Thorpe. Special collection, Earthquake '88. Thorpe states original body panels and original interior. Orig. seat covers are available and go with the car. Currently Al Knochs, states previous owner. Not confirmed foam deterioration. This car is a must see! Don't miss this super rare opportunity. Visit our showroom and see it first hand. Stk #5380
