I remember seeing this car at Bloomington Gold back in 1993 when the Naber brothers just completed its restoration. It was absolutely stunning. It only received a silver at the time because the owner found an over the counter L88 stamped block (correctly dated) and refused to stamp the vin on the pad. When asked why he didn't stamp the vin he said "if I do that it not only raises questions about this car but every other car I have owned or will own" I wish more people had those values. I hope it breaks the bank!

This is a Photo of my Benchmark 1967 Lynndale Blue car along side this 12 Mile (at the time) 1967 L-88 At Bloomington Gold back in I believe 1993. It still had a partial window sticker on the passenger window, and a very poorly adjusted door from the factory that was not corrected at that point. Bill
