In about 1982-84 a friend of mine went to look at a 1968 Corvette L88, if I remember correctly, a blue roadster, white top, that was advertised in the Toronto Star for $3,500 at the time. He drove the car and hated it saying it rattled and ran terrible. He knew what he was looking at as he had previously had a new 69 Nova SS, 396-375, M22, 4:88 gear car, a 67 Vette 435 and a 70 Z28. He told me the car was really tough. At that time the car would have been about 14 or so years old, so "just a used car" hence priced about right as collecting corvettes hadn't actually started in ernest then. He ended up buying a new 1984 Corvette, hence the time line. I had quite a few corvettes back in that time and went to many club events in Ontario; I never did see that car or hear of it again but we often discussed that car over the years and wondered what happened to it. Another friend in the early 70's had a yellow 69 coupe L88 car. The engine was pulled and went into a 65 Corvette roadster that another friend owned and whom I see a couple of times a week even now. The 69 went to BC and I understand an engine was restamped for that one. The L88 was still in the 65 when it was sold, much later than when the 69 disappeared from the London area.

L88’s Canada
Under the impression that Vintage Vehicle in Canada, Gorge Zapora may have that production. Info. Bottom of vintage vehicle reports usually shows production numbers. Has anyone contacted Vintage vehicle to check?
