That’s exactly what my boss has, Black 69 L88 side pipes and everything. That car is absolutely gorgeous in person

Thank god for those who keep all the paperwork, taking pictures and so on!

Seen a 69 L-88 all original, unrestored in worse shape sell for $800k at auction.

GREAT HISTORY !!!

That is a beast too

2002 .....wow , say 120k and now it worth 600k ....that means it's 500℅ appreciation over 14 years .....that's much better than most will see in a 401k! ...... it may even be worth more like one other commenter said, could be close to a million I don't know. interesting.....investing in classic cars ??? hanging on to them and caring for them and insuring them and storing them is the challenge but still ......that's a good return !

clicked on l88 corvette and saw this vidio. i watched him do the 67 silver bullet gtx so i watched this. great work. i think ill watch the silver bullet video again while im thinking about it.

Nice!

"Not a bunch of options on this car, no radio, no power steering.." - Maybe because neither a radio or power steering was even available on the L88.

Small error but they made 80 in '68. They made 116 in '69. This was a cool show I used look forward to watching it back when it was on.

Not all 69 L88's had the 3946074 Aluminum Open Chamber heads. Early 69 Production engines still used the 3919842 Closed Chamber heads which still used the intake /exhaust port configuration of the 3904392 heads (67only) but used a 1.840" diameter exhaust valve vs 1.720" on the 392 head. Chevy Engineers claim the 074 head had a 30% better flow/breathing advantage over the 2 previous Aluminum heads. This would be attributed to First going to a 118cc open combustion chamber, recontoured intake port runners and going to a Round 2-1/8" diameter exhaust port. Because GM had a labor dispute in May 69,Production continued clear through Dec 1969 (reason for basic low production of 70 Corvettes) Open Chamber L88's from mid December 68 should have the 074 OC Heads. This would Coincide with the 2 ZL1 COPO Camaros that were delivered to Fred Gibb Chevrolet in late December. All 427 ZL1 Engines used the 074 heads. If you have a 69 L88 and aren't 100% positive that it's the Open Chamber Engine than you need to pull one of your Valve Covers and look for the P.N. cast in the head. If it reads 3929842 then you have a Closed Chamber L88 Engine. If it is 3946074 then you have the more desirable Open Chamber Engine and will have a performance advantage over the Closed Chamber Engines. All Production Model Aluminum BB Heads came from Winters Foundry(Snowflake TM) in Canton, Ohio...

HAHA $80-$120k. We could only wish... Can only imagine what it's worth today. These were awesome shows, thanks for posting them up.

Worth 80-100k then. Now they're worth wayyyyy more than that.

I would like to pay $80K for this car.

I owned a 1969 (open chamber head) L88 from 1970-72 For daily use, it was more of a nightmare than a dream. It was a royal pain in the ass to drive for all of the reasons you've heard of and some, you probably haven't heard of.

80k -to 100k .......I'll take 3 please!!!!! hahahaahha try.......500k to 800k now for this car, especially the originality

Which one do want this car or a new ZR1? Just curious.

duntov had the 1st L-88 Engine mated to a 1965 vette for shipping purpose then the engine was removed and put into a 1963 vette then the car was raced.. historical fact

He said 116 for both 1968 and 1969 correct numbers were 1967, 20 were made 1968, 80 were made 1969, 116 were made.

He is wrong l88 didn’t have aluminum heads it had iron heads the L89 had aluminum heads.

The mufflers never fit right, always hang below the covers, unlike the 65 to 67's.
