    In high school my buddies dad passed away and he inherited a yellow L71 3 Duce coupe, it was a monster. I can't imagine what an L88 was like....

    A member of my family had one of the 80. He bought in 1976 from a Delphi executive that lived here in Rochester, NY. He drove it a little and let it sit for at least 15 years without touching it. I helped him get it out of the barn and his good friend (executives son) bought it back. It is either in restoration now or finished. Residing in Dallas Texas somewhere.

    I'm a massive petrol head, but from the UK, so I was completely ignorant of the massive varience in style/design/performance of all these cars. For a start, I assumed that everything with '427' on the 'hood' (sorry we say bonnet!) had the same engine! Thanks for all these videos, they are really amazing and have introduced a whole new category of cars I had previously dismissed as rubbish (sorry!).
    Cheers and keep up the good work,

    This is the car I wanted to buy new in 1968. But I couldn't quite afford it because of the wages I made at that time. The new L88 was $5,500. It had the reputation of being the fastest American production street car at that time, with the exception of the little Shelby 427 Cobra. (Which was said to be partially hand built) And yes, this Vette was faster than a 429 Shelby Mustang or a 426 Dodge HEMI. So in 1969, I was able to buy a new Olds 442 W30, which was factory de-tuned and the performance was disappointing. I shelled out $4,300 new for that bad boy and blew the engine a year later.

    The L-88 is rare but is it really worth all the hoopla? My 1969 L-71 3x2 Holley 427/435 that I've owned since 1970, is very close to the L-88 in performance. You can find a video on youtube that features a drag race between an L-88 and L-71. The L-88 won but an extremely small margin. It's not as if it blew the doors off the L-71. I think it was less than one car length, folks. That's a lot of hype for not much get up and go. The L-88 will bring big bucks but if you're looking for sheer fun and almost the exact same thrill, you don't need an L-88.

    The L71/89 was the max street effort engine for the Corvette. It would beat a L88 off the showroom floor. The L88 had the potential to be the quickest 427 Corvette but the buyer would have to extract that performance himself. The cam it had was designed to run with open headers. The reason the L88 was rated at 430 horsepower was to discourage the average person from buying it.

    and I think that happened to the L88 as well somewhat, and arent you going to atleast start the thing so the audience knows what a proper L88 sounds like, let alone drive it?

      @@thud9797 Oh......and "PS"........I forgot to mention the L88 was ONLY MADE FOR 3 YRS: '67, '68, and '69. So right off the bat, you accept the fact the '67's didn't have heaters, THIS '68 DOESN'T, and bet your ass the '69's don't either.

    12.5 compression ratio precludes the engine will NOT run on any pump gas. This car cannot be driven on the street.

      Needed Sunoco 280 (not 260) or avgas so yeah could be tricky finding fuel. But as long as you kept moving it wouldn't overheat. The automatic L88s used a small shroud so maybe that could have been fitted to help out.

      You're correct. However, "Muscle Car, Corvette, Pony Car, Concept / Prototype, Cobra, High Powered Sedan & Ranchero / El Camino, Significant Historical Race Car, & Other Milestone Cars Presented Weekly But Not Necessarily One From Each Category Each Week" is a bad name for a show. We hope seeing this awesome L88 didn't ruin your day.

It's just a pet peeve of mine and I need to let go. I shall tilt at some other windmill. And Quite the opposite, This vid made my day.
