1969 Chevrolet Corvette L88 Convertible - $759k

6,457 original miles. Original window sticker, Protect-O-Plate, Car Shipper, order form, dealer invoice and retail installment contract. Bloomington Gold Hall of Fame inductee. Regional NCRS Top Flight Award in 2005 scoring 97.2. 427/430 HP L88 engine. M22 4-speed and 3.70 Positraction rear end. Original exhaust system. J50 and J56 brake packages. F41 suspension, K66 transistorized ignition. Radio delete, A01 tinted glass. Can-Am White with Black interior.
Behold the awe-inspiring Corvette L88. A brute strength package that is the L88 centered on a 427 CI V-8 engine packing forged steel crank and rods, forged aluminum pistons, 12.8:1 compression, free-breathing aluminum heads, a radical high-lift cam, a single Holley 850 CFM 4-barrel carburetor on a dual-plane aluminum intake manifold and transistorized ignition. To handle the engine’s actual output of more than 560 HP, L88 specifications included a Muncie M22 close-ratio 4-speed, J56 special heavy-duty brakes and G81 Positraction rear end. The official press release listed the engine at 430 HP, five fewer than the production L71, which was half as expensive.
216 L88 Corvettes were built from 1967 through 1969, and they are now among the most valuable Corvettes in the world. In 2016 a 1969 Chevrolet Corvette L88 Convertible made $577k at Barrett-Jackson.   This example appeared at Mecum and high bid to $700k in 2022. It sold for $759k in 2025.
