Vehicle Description
This factory big-block Corvette (photo documentation) with original
VIN and trim tags, has been magnificently restored and upgraded to
the legendary L88 specs. Originally a Marina Blue car, the paint
was upgraded to Rally Red. In the late 1960's, the car was race
prepped by Joel Rosen (Baldwin-Motion) with traction bar, special
tuning, shifter, etc. After years of racing, the car was found in a
yard on Long Island in the early 1990s in need of restoration. The
past owner from Florida began a 20-year odyssey searching and
finding NOS L88 parts and then assembled the ultimate L88 1967
Corvette carbon-copy. This car now has a dated 04/13/67 NOS L88
block, balanced and blueprinted 12.5 pistons, 010 correct P7 M22
Rock Crusher manual transmission, correct FC-code 456 rear and
correct-dated intake. Its equipped with J56 heavy-duty power brakes
with DG-code master cylinder and front brakes with dual-pin
calipers. It has NOS downdraft tube, radio and heater delete dash
with correct black-off plates, and correct-dated heads. A
spectacular upgraded restoration to the epitome of a 1967Corvette.
It's affectionately labeled by the owner as "the 21st L88." Larry
Jaworkse (Joel Rosen's business partner in the 1970's) inspected
the car before it was restored for previous owner Paul Raber and
noted the typical performance add-ons done by Baldwin/Motion.
