 | One of 116 L88-powered Corvettes built in the final year of L88 production. The engine was a masterpiece of raw power, combining a reinforced cast-iron block with a forged rotating assembly, 12.5:1 compression and a free-breathing top end incorporating big-valve aluminum heads, a solid-lifter cam and a Holley 4-barrel carburetor on an aluminum intake manifold. |
 | It was officially rated at 430 HP at 5,200 RPM, but was more like 560 HP at 6,400 RPM. Equipped with the race-prepared L88 427/430 HP big-block with first-design closed-chamber aluminum heads, Muncie M22 “Rock Crusher” close-ratio 4-speed and 4.56 Positraction rear end, K66 transistor ignition and J56 heavy-duty brakes. This example is a multiple award winner. |
 |  The car underwent a painstaking restoration that was completed in 1988. It subsequently was included in the 1988 and 2008 Bloomington Gold Special Collection. |
  |  The car made $600k |
