Uh, why do you want to know? If you're gonna tell us you've got one & you don't have a clue how much it's worth, we're not gonna believe you, I'm afraid.

And I'm pretty sure air wasn't an option on L88s. [Dang it, Gordon, you popped in while I was editing so I could show how smart I was

L88 cars did not have AC.

True L88 cars are worth buckets of money. I doubt it is a real one.

You are correct the L88 did not come with AC and this one does not have. I was wrong on that count. It is a friend that purchased new in May 1970 after returning from 2 tours in Vietnam. This car is for real with 42K miles. He has had some people trying buy at a steal. It is in very good shape no accidents and been stored for the past 10-15 yrs

It would pay to have it professional appraised by someone who knows classic cars. If it what you say it could be worth quite a bit of money. 6 figures possibly. Someone is always trying to get good cars at a steal and they succeed sometimes. Good luck,I wish I had an L88 as do most Corvette enthusiast.

Start a new thread on looking for an appraiser and also put it in the events and regional for the appropriate section. You will get more responses.

It's valve depends on if he has proper ducumentation or not. Justbecause it has an L88 engine doesn't cut it since there are MANY clones out there.
