Canadian L-88 vette ?

The white M40 L88 coupe from Canada belongs to Frank Stech in NJ. He is the judging chairman for the Delaware Valley NCRS chapter. Not a nicer guy in this world.

Hi....For SURE!!! There was a 69 L88, White coupe : from Canada. I know the car. I've been in Vettes for over 25 years. This Vette was at Bloomington in 1988, I was there too.
There has been a few sold in Canada....I know of one sold at Golden Mile which has been in storage for years.

Is that Golden Mile L-88 in storage in Toronto and do you know who owns it? what colour is it?

Yes...I know who owns it.

I have seen two Canadian delivered L-88s... Both were post strike cars with the second design L-88 and coincidentally, both were automatics.

One is Frank Stech's Can Am white/black coupe that was mentioned previously... The other is a Daytona yellow/black coupe. Both cars have been restored and are exceptional examples.

I'd be willing to bet that there were a few four speed L-88s delivered there as well, but I have not seen any documentation at this time.

Hi LT1 Vette: Do you know if the people at Gorries still have their Corvette collection? Doug Hall found them a perfect 1960 white Corvette in California many years ago. The owner had taken off and stored the hubcaps when it was new! A perfect low mileage '60. They also had a green 1967 big block coupe with the white stinger hood, that a local owner here sold to pay for a 1968 blue on blue 427 Coupe. Any COPO cars in the collection or does the collection even exist today? Thanks

Is the Frank Stech car the car from Bloomington '88?

The Can Am White car was in the 88 Special Collection although it was not owned by Frank at that time. It was reportedly ordered by a dealer in Montreal and sold to a 59 year old gentleman who drove the car regularly until the age of 70. The restoration was performed by Stingray or Mississauga, Ontario.

Hi....That's correct. That is the same car that was at the collection in '88. I had lost track of it and wondered where it had gone too. [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/beers.gif[/img]
