Re: Heres the 68 L88 (blunsford)
Blunsford, you have me looking myself. One place came up on the net, try "Flatout Gasket" or "Flatout Group / gasket" was the only company coming up with gaskets all the way down to .021 plus several thicker ones. :thumbs:
Thanks Dep, you know it`s a 68. The only Vette that didn`t have the Stingray emblem from 63 until the late 70`s when it was reinstated again. BTW, thats Never Dull polish can on the hood also. :lol:
Ryan, yes brand new. :D
I found a 1970 picture taken in front of a friends house.

That Riv is nice too!
Were you running headers or stock exhaust on the L-88?
I'd say you'll have a very comfortable retirement! :yesnod: :thumbs: :hurray:

There is probably other stuff missing or installed on it. I don't think Ironcross is claiming "concours quality" here, since he basically used it as a "tow car".
That alone makes me shudder!

All right, I'm gonna take a chance with the Wrath of Dep and get all huffy here.:D
Details, dammit!!!!!
Tow car? Whatzzat mean? You saying Ironcross like towed a boat with an L88 or something? I want stories, man! That's the stuff of legend. :lol:
And c'mon Ironcross, don't be coy--tell us all about your toys. (Hey, that almost rhymed. I'm like a poet or something.):D

Re: Heres the 68 L88 (GDaina)
Thats a 1966 Riviera. 425 ci Dual quad GS. 30,000 miles on the car.it. Bucket seat, stero, tilt wood wheel, air, 3.9 posi rear, turbo 400, big brake car, tinted glass, air craft landing lites, power most everything. Another piece that gets moved every couple of years. It really needs a new home. :lol: This picture is from a friends collection in front of his mothers home. He also Had my Fuel Roadster in his garage at that time. I was hiding some of the pieces all over for a while.
http://www.nitroalley.net/images/6.jpg Heres the tow piece, boats, cars, whatever. This picture is about 15 years old, before the last Black repaint.

Yup, thats a Riviera...could be a hipo with dual quads, or could be a a single quad.
