Very well race prepared L88 Corvette. Eligible for all important Historic races including LeMans Classic. Extensive period race history from new and known as “Roxy Vette”.

L-88 Model Description:
The L-88 option package for the Corvette was the result of years of developmental work
which resulted in a factory racing option package that could be ordered from Chevrolet
in a brand new Corvette. The L-88 option was only available for three brief model years
from 1967 through 1969. The L-88 Corvette was so potent, that it could not only allow the
new owner or driver to win a race in local competition, but it also could propel a properly
prepared Corvette to stunning finishing positions in world class International races,
such as the 12 Hours of Sebring and the 24 Hours of Daytona. These racing victories
with the L-88 option package, made the Corvette an overnight hit. The L-88 nomenclature
became synonymous with Corvettes and with champions. Although only 216 L-88 Corvettes
rolled off the St. Louis Corvette Plant assembly line during these three model years, the L-88
created an image of power and prestige that would live on with the Corvette for decades.
These are the Corvettes that started the legend. These are the Corvettes that shaped a generation of Corvettes and Corvette enthusiasts, and they are the Corvettes that shaped the future generations of Corvettes.
