Default 1970 built BB, numbers matching, L88 performance


Frame up restoration . 72,000 miles.

468 cid, 540+ hp , 600 tq , M21 , 336:1 rear , Hooker Headers --- coated , Mighty Demon 800 cfm carb with mech secs and annular boosters for maximized low end torque , Dual plane AirGap Intake , Edlebrock alum. round port Heads . ALL FORGED INTERNALS : Lunati Hyd. Roller Cam 232/242 dur. , .553 lift , 112 lsa , roller rockers, 9.5 CR Premium gas, MSD6AL Ignition Box, twin electric fans with override , Dewitt BB 3 row radiator , hidden electric fuel pump anti-theft kill switch inside , 255/60R15's Tires with RWL's nearly new , always ran synthetic fluids , engine rebuilt by a Corvette Mechanic in Illinois (can furnish his name and phone number) , every receipt kept since I bought it in 1997 . Distributor removed by an expert Tuner and re-did the curve for maximized low end torque which I swear added an additional 50+ h.p. (18 degrees initial...all in by 3,000 rpm --42 degrees total . The engine loves it . No detenation on 91 octane. I use 93 octane only) , repainted Lemans Blue by retired Buick dealership auto Painter , SOLID #2 condition thruout , very minor spider web cracks over front fenders , new within the last 2 years : Vintage A/C , power steering pump, SS brakes . Runs perfectly --- an absolute screamer .

Carb has no choke so you have to let it warm up for 2-3 min.

Ive done much of the restoration myself and did it right. No Mickey Mousing !

Ive driven it about 2000 miles , or less, each year . Stored inside. Babied . Trophy winner at 8 car shows...mostly 1st place. Trophies go with the car , several service manuals , some additional parts , the original factory Heads / exhaust manifolds / water pump included.

Will consider a Trade for a supercharged Corvette of any year.

Car located in N.W. Florida in the Panhandle.. approx. 1 hour east of Pensacola, Fl. close to I-10 .

Serious inquiries only please. I don't have to sell the car for money .... Im wanting to get back into a C6 Vette if possible. If not, then no problem . Regards, Dave.

and those power numbers are why 074 alum heads are getting less expensive. they are only desirable to a guy trying to put his car back to numbers matching correct. that car is gorgeous.

Wish this car was yellow. I'd love to have a yellow L88 clone. Well, I'd love to have a real L88 but that's not possible at the moment.

Its easy to change the color of a car to your preference. A good decent Vette paint job would cost $5-7 k. and then youd have your Yellow Bird. Might not go too good with a blue interior however . Maybe it would afterall.................

I'd have hard time painting over a good paint job and changing the color. But I am a Blues hockey fan so the colors would be a fit for that .

Bump for a really nice resto-mod that still has some originality to it.

I miss my '69 BB resto-mod, but it would probably be the last straw at home if I added a 3rd Vette to the stable.

GLWS, David. Beautiful car!

Thanks Man. IF I cant sell it or trade it, ill keep it for enjoyment , join a Vette Club locally, and watch it increase in value being a numbers matching BB tastefully modified for extreme performance. Regards.
