L88 at Idle

[@markbannert968]

This car is amazing.. I am the current owner and has been a blast to drive. Stay tuned for current videos soon.

[@joevette6290]

A true L88 enthusiast who drives that expensive car for us humble viewers!!! Thanks bud

[@stevefowler2112]

I had a buddy in H.S. in the early 70's (whose Mom was loaded and he pretty much got what he asked for). He had a '68 Camaro with an Ed Pink built L-88 engine. He had a 4.88:1 rear end ratio and the biggest 60 series tires available at the time and that car would burn the tires off in all 4 gears. He loved getting a buddy behind him at a stop light and would do such a burnout it would leave melted rubber in the guy's windshield.

[@Panthercholo]

@Mark rapacki Where'd you leave your melted rubber?

[@lilcrcjr]

BEAST!!!

[@duaneboyde6272]

And THAT SOUNDS like a TRUE 427 L88 I G0T Go0SE BUMPS, BiGTiME !!! DAMN !!! 😳🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

[@freakineagle]

Great sound that L-88 cam. I think they were around .590 to .600 inch lift. I have installed that same cam in some of my other Big Block Chevys. Even the dog liked the L-88. LOL!

What a brute. I can smell the leaded sunoco 260.

[@BobLoblawbob]

I'm setting this for my ringtone.

[@freakineagle]

ZORA DUNTOV was making L-88's in '66 for Roger Penski to race. You guys better check your REAL L-88 HISTORY. The program did so well in '66 that Duntov had some extra COPO L-88 Corvettes made so his CERTAIN friends could have one to race or drag race. I know because I ended up with a 1966 L-88 Corvette. These motors were dynoed at 552 horsepower, at least mine was and it was stock from GM. I have pics of the car and engine. FYI.

[@Tusuperbis]

So, we're these 66 L-88 427 vetted that Zora was building for the racing programs and for a few friends, we're they VIN? Do they have titles and you can get them registered to drive on public roads? My grandpa was friends with a lot of the engineers on the 409 program in the late 50s and early 60s and he said some of the cars they got were just race cars. No VINS, no titles, couldn't get insurance etc, etc. Most of them just became parts cars because who wants a trailer queen! Lmao, you can only drive it at the track and that just sucks!

[@johnsricke7236]

I've read it in a article , D. Gulstrand went to St Louis and pick up a L88 coupe and drove it back to Pennsylvania , where Penske had his race shop . Mr. Gulstrand explains that he was wrapped up in a blanket because it had no heater . This was the winter of 66 , January , they raced the car at Daytona . They called it a pre production prototype . Hell even in 65 Smokey Yunick had a article in HotRod mag on how to build one from spare parts using a 396 "high performance crank case " and gave all the part numbers . Anything is possible .

[@thud9797]

They always made all kinds of backdoor cars for certain racers, everyone knows that,, but RPO L88 began in 1967.

[@duaneboyde6272]

0n EVERYTHING, IF Your GranPaw Orderd A 427~L88 in 1967 ,THAT WAS THE BADDEST/MOST Hp, STOCK PERIOD ! If U Didn't HAVE BOMB SPEAKERS,,In The 70's t0 PLAY, BAD t0 The BONE U Didn't know WHAT U HAD !!! AGAIN Go0SE BUMPS !!!, ,EVERYONE GOT aT The LIGHT !!!⚡🔥⚡🔥⚡🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

Holy Hell what's not to love? Killer car!

[@kjam87gxp]

This is my favorite body style

[@gerryw.629]

L-88’s don’t have radios, therefore there shouldn’t be an antenna??

[@patchesw3815]

1967 L88? Very rare.....and sweeeeeet!!

[@literallyshaking8019]

That’s got a proper lope to it

[@freakineagle]

I had a '66 L88 that all the Corvette Queers said thay never made one. Well, you had better check with Zora Dontov and see how many he had made for his friends in '66. I ended up with one of them! If you want proff, I have it.

Compression 12.5 need leaded 103 oct the good stuff

[@petercarey6883]

That's when Sunoco 260 reigned supreme. A by-gone era now long gone, but fondly remembered. But it seems like yesterday.😢

[@applemusclecar1301]

An L88 is supposed to be started with the hood open in case of backfire can damage the hood.

[@thud9797]

I think there's something to this, the air filter was in the hood and the base on the engine had no spark arrestor so a backfire would burn right against the bare fiberglass hood. So everyone saying no, remember this is an L88 and was totally unique and no other car had such a unique air cleaner arrangement. And this might explain why the original 69 L88 hood (still had the Rockwell foil sticker) that I bought in Knoxville had the entire airbox section burned up.

[@jermainebynum8265]

Its amazing that some people will down you about YOUR car! Then they say it's not a L88 only the C3 was LOL like wow

[@Tusuperbis]

I know a doctor who has had over 30 corvettes so far in his life. He told me one day he had a l88 67 vette. I said "really" an l88? He said yeah, you can co.e look at it and so.e of my other cars. I went over to his house, and he had s9me beautiful old vetted and other chevrolets. His 67 was a 427 tri power 435hp. Not an l88. Some people actually own these cars but know nothing about them. Blows my mind!

[@brianonthego]

Sweet ride.

[@MrMisanthrope1RBjr]

nice car but a real L88? hard to believe. 20 made in 1967 and worth 3 million dollars today. i hope it is but .....

I'm sure its a badass l88 under the hood, but whether its a real C48 car isn't mentioned...might be. but if so, that be fuken crazy, living in that little ol suburban house.

Exactly, I responded before I read your post

[@Jonhobbs64]

Show me one that's in your driveway that is better than that one who cares if it's a real l88 or not! I don't see it sitting in your driveway!

L71 I'll believe. L88? I don't think so.

[@74SD455TA]

How come this supposed L88 car sits in such a poor garage? I suspect that this is a regular vette with a transplanted L88 motor

[@JustRusting]

Save your starter and spray starter fluid in the carb,that gets these cars going quick

[@JorgePerez-ss7ee]

Starting fluid I use cristal allmoroll or little bottle with a few gasolinera for prime the system somemetime has a long time that doesnt startup a the diafragm is too dry,the starts the leaks,good luck men

[@carguy0000]

I use non chlorinated brake clean as starter fluid, works great

[@terryduncan5718]

Starting fluid is toooo lean...burn a piston...pour some gas in the carb

there are 2 versions. The early L/88's were 560/580. The late L-88's and ZL1's had the 580/620.

[@arttafil6792]

Let’s see the interior and the engine to see if it’s a real L88. With the rarity of this car there are a lot of fakes.

I am sold on fake

If it was made by Toyota, it would not have taken so long to start.

[@Philippinesbound42]

Not an l88

[@74SD455TA]

VERY POOR first start. VERY POOR....what you needed to do AND need to do, is incorporate a priming system so that you do not get those dry starts. SHAME ON YOU......When carbureted cars sit, gravity takes over. The priming system would have that started right away.

That's not an l88 the l88s were only c3s. That's a c2. Still a nice sound though

[@elituko]

Collin you're an idiot, they made L-88s in 67. Go back to school, learn to read, read a book, get a computer, do some research, talk to someone besides your mom. Those of us that were alive back then knew them and saw them, in person.

[@chemicalspore]

Lmao. That was an ignorant statement

Where do you idiots come from? If you don't already know take 5 seconds and look it up. They made 20 in '67.
