Gateway Classic Cars of Denver is proud to present this beautiful
1969 Chevrolet Corvette L88 Stingray Barn Find. 1967 L88 Corvette
was powered by a highly modified version of Chevy's 427-cubic-inch
V-8. Although the factory-claimed horsepower was 435, real power
output was likely somewhere between 540 and 580, enough to allow a
"stock" L88 to run the quarter-mile in the mid-to-high 11-second
range. The L88 could be ordered only with certain options such as a
performance suspension, Positraction differential, and upgraded
brakes, while other features such as a radio and A/C were not
available. The big block motor had the rare open-chambered aluminum
heads designed to increase airflow and decrease the compression
ratio to 12.0:1, a performance camshaft, and a four-barrel Holley
carburetor Since the car was to be built in limited numbers,
Arkus-Duntov wanted as many of them as possible to end up on
racetracks. As such, GM tried to discourage individuals from buying
the L88 (the car's extremely conservative power rating was a ploy
designed to turn off the casual consumer), instead focusing on
racing teams. The L88 stayed in production until 1969. Only 116 of
these were ever produces. 10 of which were leased to the Apollo 11
astronauts in 1969 as a reward of their great accomplishments for
the whopping price of $1. Owned by the seller for 21+ years.
Matching numbers vehicle that was restored back to its rightful
configuration. 60,000 miles on the rebuild with a 12 bolt rear end
carrying 4:56 gears. Painted a beautiful LeMans Blue, with a gun
metal gray interior. The side pipes, chrome bumpers and badging
really set this gem apart from any other car. *The Owner Does Not
