Please put a clause in the Bill of Sale that the restoration needs to be documented on this forum

Yea I know it should be $245K but my Son Adam has regained enough vision and I made a promise that if he did I would sell my l 88 so he can return to Race

Man, I'm tearing up here. It really stinks that you have to sell this thing.

I hope your Son regains full sight.

I didn't know about the existency of L88 version, that's why I was curious about right price, but after checking the market out I've realizedvthat you have a really piece of history, and the price it's even low for this model.

Best of lucks for the sale and your son, indeed.

I love stories like these, that there is actually an original L88 Corvette just sittin' around in some guys garage waiting to be restored! Best of luck with the sale. Honestly, I can't believe it's lasted this long without selling. Yes, it's a lot of money, but the potential for the right buyer is incredible. Call Jay Leno!!!!! Or the guys from Gas Monkey!!!! They've got money to burn!
