GM records I have show a total of 15, but those records are only through Sept 69. Must have been 2 more produced after Sept.

I follow the Horsepower Depot youtube channel to watch what the Pennington's do with their spec L-88 Corvettes and ZL-1 Camaro.

I was surprised to see this great video with the original L-88 and interview with the owner.

Their race cars run low 9 sec ETs with a lot of mods but with stock tires, exhaust manifolds etc
