Re: L88 Vette on Ebay
exactly...been many good cars unearthed like this, as we all know the people who leave decent cars like this outside for years love them but dont have a clue on how to care for the stuff...I know if I lived within driving distance I would have allready been there.
 [ QUOTE ] Looking at this auction brings me back about 7 years ago. Also - to Long Island. I had a client at the time who ownd several "special" Ford high performance cars including a 289 Cobra, a 427 Cobra and two original GT40's. These of course were all parked in his garage. However, outside in the tall grass ( rusting away ) was a 1970 428 Super Cobra Jet Cougar. The owner drove past it every day and was un-moved about its condition. Finally, a house painter working on the estate next door spotted the Cougar and rescued it. According to my client, the painter never did make full payment on the car - but took delivery anyway.   So - perhaps the L-88 in question is the bottom of the barrel for its current owner. Wish I had a spare $30,000.00 so I could get this baby ( if real - that is  ). [/ QUOTE ]

Re: L88 Vette on Ebay
What do ya'll think market is on a project like this (assuming it is real, complete, and matching numbers)? 75k 100k 150k?
What does a Neighbor's brothers resto cost now days? 100k?

[/ QUOTE ] I would say market for this car with docs would be 175-200K to assume discription is correct. Highly doubtful though. Nabors would probably be around 100 although I do not know from experience.

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...

Re: L88 Vette on Ebay
Also has the "wiper door delete" hood. Didn't know they had these in 1969. Car is completely "original".

Re: L88 Vette on Ebay
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 - 347donald53
