This is an amazing vehicle. I had the pleasure of judging it at the NCRS National Convention in San Antonio. I also examined it at the home of the original owner. It is the real deal, no doubt about it original engine the car was born with and a great history. This is one of the last L88s ever built. Awesome!

Bruce is out of town and hasn't seen the feature yet. Paul is the other owner and has some amazing cars in his collection including another '69 L88. Paul, chime in here.

Here are a few more pics of the car when I found it at Mancuso's Ferrari dealership in the north Chicago area a few years ago.

By pure luck a friend and I were over there lusting over some Ferraris when the sales manager drove this unbelievable L88 right into the show room. The owner was a good customer and was selling the L88 through the dealer.

Naturally I went berserk and quit looking at the Ferarris. And..... the rest is history.

After it's race career, the owner had the exterior and chassis restored in the late 70's, and Bruce and I treated it to a more "state of the art" restoration after aquiring it last year. Naturally we left most of the interior original to preserve the patina of such rare low mileage car.

[/ QUOTE ] Mark, I remember dicussing the car with you in 01/04. I really enjoyed meeting with the original owner and looking through all the paperwork and seeing his other cars! I am glad that the car went to a good home and look forward to seeing it again in November.

Awesome car, great paperwork, and a great vintage picture. Paul did you ever own a '67 L78 Chevelle that was owned by Skip Cain from New Orleans, La. ?
