WW!!!

The original owner Navy Rear Admiral would've been anything but in the rear when driving this car!.

How many L88's are Bloomington Survivor cars?.

Thanks to all for the kind words regarding my car.
Harold, I hope that you get your open chambered L88, my dream of owning a 67 L88 will remain a dream for me.
Pete, Unmolested L88s are an extrememly rare. Most have had body work from collisions or have been flared and their motors were blown up long ago. I would guess the number of Survivor L88s is very low, about 10/15 cars total from 67 to 69 with about 5 of them still retaining their original paint too. I have a friend that owns two such cars in Dallas and another here in Illinios.

This is for sure one of the best L88s in the country Steve!!!!!!!! I really enjoyed seeing it at Bloomington last year.

I too enjoyed seeing this car. It was one of just a very few cars that I actually stood & stared at to take it in. Now get a police escort, and, drive it over here Steve. Your car will thank you for the two mile trip. Oh yeah, four miles round trip.

Put it in one of those clear plastic bubbles and transport it to Mikes in case of rain. Or for Christmas, do the same with Santa in it with some fake snow for a front lawn display.

Not bad, but, have you ever considered painting it green? You know, get the value a little higher on it.

Thanks to Steve for volunteering his car to be featured as a Members Ride....and a kick ass one at that.

It must be a real kick in the pants to take a ride in your L88 Steve!

Thanks again for sharing it with all of us!

Oh...Before Charley asks...

The only thing better than this one would be a convertible L88. When you think about the extensive racing history of LeMans, Daytona and Sebring, it makes you wonder that any are left that haven't been raced and have been left alone. I had heard from some powers above us that only 10% of the L88's left have their original drivetrains. I knew I should have bought this one!
