Not everyone may own a 1967 L88 Corvette.
 | The only 1967 Chevrolet Corvette coupe still carrying its original L88 engine was being offered for sale by the Corvette Mike dealership. The price: $3.95m. The Sunfire Yellow coupe has undergone a 10-year, frame-off restoration with each component, nut and bolt sourced from the original car or from NOS suppliers.
Of the 20 L88s produced in 1967, about half still exist, but only three retain their original, 427cid V8 engines, and the other two are convertibles. |
The L88 option (RPO L88) was a thinly disguised race car meant for the track. General Motors was trying to comply with a 1957 factory racing ban, so they kept the package quiet and charged a steep premium (about $1,500 over the base Corvette price). Officially rated at 430 hp, the car actually produced over 560 hp.
 | 1967 L88 Corvette Serial No. 21550 stands as the most successful L88 Corvette race car of all time during its eight-year racing career. It took home a record-setting 52 victories. The car high bid to $3.2m at Mecum. |
 | The first L88 Corvette, and the only Tuxedo Black 1967 L88 Convertible built. Campaigned by Tony DeLorenzo and Jerry Thompson in 1967. It high bid to $1.8m at Mecum. |
