Make that 20 L88's for 67.
Rogers in Orlando has 2 of them in his personal collection. Plus a 68 L88 and one of only two 69 ZL1's. Check them out when in Orlando.

Still kicking myself in the azz - was in Orlando this spring and didn't even think to check this place out. :
'68 L88 and a '69 ZL1 - damn, much more fun than Legoland.

He knows that, it was a joke. There are far many more " Documented L88's" on the road than ever built by GM.
