Default Re: BJK67 ( Bruce Knierim's)1969 L88 Corvette

Here are a few more pics of the car when I found it at Mancuso's Ferrari dealership in the north Chicago area a few years ago.

By pure luck a friend and I were over there lusting over some Ferraris when the sales manager drove this unbelievable L88 right into the show room. The owner was a good customer and was selling the L88 through the dealer.

Naturally I went berserk and quit looking at the Ferarris. And..... the rest is history.

After it's race career, the owner had the exterior and chassis restored in the late 70's, and Bruce and I treated it to a more "state of the art" restoration after aquiring it last year. Naturally we left most of the interior original to preserve the patina of such rare low mileage car.
