The thing is, a very rare and very cool L88 modification went under the hammer. In 1969, only 116 such Corvettes were produced, and the car is truly unique.
The Chevrolet Corvette L88 was equipped with a racing seven-liter V8. Officially, the engine power was 430 hp, but in reality it was much more – about 550-560 hp. It was deliberately understated so that owners would pay lower insurance (in the US in those years, it was tied to the car's power).
In its time, the Chevrolet Corvette L88 was one of the fastest cars in the world and could compete with Ferrari and Lamborghini. With a 4-speed manual transmission, acceleration to 100 km/h took 4.8 seconds, and the top speed was 274 km/h. The car received improved suspension and brakes.
This particular example is very well preserved, and its mileage is only 45 thousand km. Moreover, the Chevrolet Corvette L88 has repeatedly won awards at various retro shows.
