Fathom Green 1969 L-88 Corvette
This is actually a pretty nice car... Despite the low mileage, it's been partially restored. I doubt the engine is the original one installed in the car... Apparently the engine judge at Bloomington Gold felt the same way in 1990 when the car was presented there. I don't recall if the car has been through NCRS judging yet. Could probably stand to be taken apart and restored correctly. There was a good bit of documentation and the ownership history appeared pretty solid... I remember that the owner at the time did not have the correct protecto-plate for this car (it somehow got mixed up with another L-88 that he sold). Also appeared to be a real side exhaust equipped car as well which certainly helps the value.
Brian Henderson and I both had a chance to buy this car about four or five years ago for a lot less than the current asking price which is around $135,000 if I'm not mistaken. Still a great buy considering where L-88 prices have gone in the past six months.
