Check out these beautiful and beastly 1967 L88 Corvettes! Only 20 made...and 9 of them are together at Carlisle! If you can make it to Carlisle this year, it's worth the trip just to see these beauties. And if you can't, I hope you enjoy the video.

Thanks for sharing the vid !!!Was the last one once owned by richard prince on LI ? In my opinion they're all overdone clear coated show cars that bear no resemblance all all to how they once looked.

It was awesome to see and hear those cars today. I was really impressed on the museum cars could actually run and drive.

They took a tour around the fair grounds around 4pm today. Nothing like the rumble of several L88's and the smell of racing fuel in the afternoon!

Good stuff

I missed the official parade in front of the viewing stands, but caught part of it as it passed by near where I was visiting with friends. Enjoy listening to these beasts!
