1967 L88 Baldwin Motion Crate Motor with Doc's

**Rixls6** · #1 08-20-2010, 12:02 PM

I owned one of these L88's a few years ago. Found out that there were a total of 277 made in `67. Being a complete original L88 with the stamped IT code, the value was $15-20K at the time.
I wouldn't know what the Motion mods would do to the price.

Thank you all for your information! The motor is 100% real, that I know for sure. The actual value is still a question for me, It seems that if you have a "real" 1967 L88 Corvette or a 1967 Motion car in need of an original motor the sky is the limit. Thanks again, J

So yes it's got the original Tonawanda build/suffix stamp and no Vin?.
If so Wow and no doubt an exciting find but how the casting and engine build dates jive w/ any L88 'Vette cars in need should have an impact on the value..

I still don't understand if it has the build date on the pad like the picture above. That is a major plus if it does.

Does it have the build date stamp on it?

here's a 1968 version on eBay now ( I know the '67 pulls a bit more $$$ freight)

Exactly what I've been trying to clarify too!.
Also again if it is stamped I'm wondering how the casting and engine build date jive w/ the #'s of any of the 20 original '67 RPO L88 'Vettes!?
Anyone know groupings/dates of the original 20 RPO cars and/or engines?.

To set value you have to know what's on the pad.
