Re: L88 Vette on Ebay
 

Assuming the "5" in the eBay auction is supposed to be an "S" (if I recall correctly), there are documented L88's within 10,000 units of this one. Not sure if that matters as much as it does with '69 Camaros. IMO it is still a long shot...

Also has the "wiper door delete" hood. Didn't know they had these in 1969. Car is completely "original". https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...s/rolleyes.gif

I e-mailed him asking about the incorrect horsepower listing.
His response was:

I made a mistake on the hp, it is 430 and it does have the single 4 barrel carb. Thanks, Donald

I would think based on the bids, the bidders have already looked at the car in person and have determined it to be real.

"completely original" including extremely rare RF tire painted to match.

sounds like another Ebay "survivor" with "both quarters replaced in the 90's" https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...s/rolleyes.gif


not knocking the car or owner, just the uselessness of wording in these ads https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...thumbsdown.gif

No mention of paperwork and this would spike the value quite a bit. If the frame is rotted or rusty, you can add a bunch to the repair. These cars have so many valuable parts that I'm sure are missing that the cost of a restoration could be pushing $100,000 plus the parts. How about L88 plug wires at about $3,000 and hood at about $3,000.
I don't see an antenna as this should be a no radio car.
A buyer could have an additional $150,000 to $175,000 in the restoration, it better have paperwork with that kind of cash plus the cost of the car. It would be even better with the original engine. Now if it has a tank sticker and an original engine, it would certainly be worth saving.

Listing Cancelled by Ebay

Re: L88 Vette on Ebay
 

It appears that it was removed by the seller, not eBay. I bet it sold outside eBay. I think most of these cars do.

Unfortunatly, I was waiting to read if this was real or not. Maybe word will spread.

Re: L88 Vette on Ebay
 

L88s are bringing strong money these days. My old 69 was sold to Proteam (by the fellow who bought it from me in 04) during the NCRS winter in FL this past January and apparently has already sold again. Anybody here buy it?
