Harold, I know the car well, it is one of the best ones there is. I agree that the best cars will continue to bring very strong money. BTW, I believe that the high bid is real money. My guess is that it will take about 500K to buy it.
Regards,

Yes, it does not take much effort to describe a car like this.

[/ QUOTE ] According to my survey info this car was ordered in March of 69 but production was delayed due to the strike. The car was produced I believe on early June of 69 which is about 2/3rds into production run for the 69 model year. This car is one of the last L88s produuced with the closed chamber heads as production for the second design L88s started in late June of 69 or around vin 22000.

Please anyone correct me if I am wrong, but I would think this is a late car or a second design L88. Most people I know split the '69 L88s as early or late, and the second design L88 has the ZL1 type closed chamber heads.
