That was a featured car on the preview show .
Stunning L88. I wonder what it takes for the seller to part with it?

2020 Corvette of the Year Finalist (appearance mods)
C3 of Year Winner (appearance mods) 2019
I think Rick Hendricks paid $525K last year for an L88 and this one was really nice so I suppose they were hoping it would be more.

And for the C2's the restomods were bringing in double what a perfect matching numbers car sold for from the same year.

That's good news, hopefully all of the fake BBs, fuelies, etc will be converted to resto mods.

Anyone that has a part that might have gone on a corvette thinks they own an L88 .An L88 is basically a C2 or C3 with several options and was advertised as 430 horsepower (yea right)
