1967 L-88 corvette vin numbers
Hi does anyone know where I can find the twenty L-88 production vin numbers that were made in 1967? I am looking to verify it to a block from a car that I am in the process of buying to see if it is authentic.
any help would be appreciated.

I don't know if the VINs are available to authenticate the L-88s. They are generally considered to be a late production car so a real early car wouldn't be a candidate. Seems that I remember hearing or reading that production started in March or April.
Out of the 20 that were produced only 40 or so are still known to exist.

well . . .
Someone maintains a sort of secret list of the known L88s - and Mitch (click his user name, then click previous posts) might just be in touch with such a list . . . .
I don't think the list gets "published" and I am glad it doesn't (I think that would lead to misbehavior) but if you have a VIN perhaps Mitch is suggesting that he could see if it is on the "known L88" list . . . .

vins
I was wondering such a thing as I have searched the web and found no L-88 vin's available. Has anyone ever try and contact Chevrolet direct and e-mail them a pic of the motor numbers or is NCRS a better route to go.

I should have stated that a readily available list of VINs for the L-88 cars isn't available but I'm sure there are people that have that information. Since Mitch has an L-88 and a Kevin McKay connection I'm betting he has some inside information about the cars.

Hi
A little off topic
Back in the day I was looking to buy a 69 Chevelle SS from a service manager who had put an L88 in his loaded automatic chevelle with a 4:56 gear. He was a couple years older than the rest of us and I never heard of him taking the car to the strip. However he did do a lot of "nighttime freeway quarters" with the guys who ran low 12's and he had no problem beating them.
I never did get the car and he got killed when a cop with no flashers or siren ran a red light and T-boned him while he was driving his daily driver doing the speed limit........... go figure
Sure was a nice car though, No AC but it had everything else.
