Lot #1076 - A stunning, well-executed re-creation build of the famous 1967 Corvette Le Mans L88 race cars. Giving life to this race-inspired Corvette is a 427ci 4-bolt main block engine that’s been bored and stroked to 492ci and outfitted with a hydraulic roller cam, Brodix heads and L88 intake with Holley carburetor. An aluminum radiator with twin SPAL cooling fans has been added to ensure a cool-running engine. It also has mounted side-pipe headers that can be run with or without exhaust baffles. The engine produces 550hp and runs on pump gas. A Muncie 4-speed manual transmission with wide-ratio M22 Rock Crusher gear set and 3:73 posi-traction rear end puts the power to the pavement. The fresh frame-off restoration wears an Ermine White finish with red Stinger stripe on the big-block hood. The body was then vinyl-wrapped with blue side panels, red roof and rear deck striping to replicate the 1967 Le Mans racer color scheme. The wrap can be easily removed to return the car to a total white finish. The #9 roundels are static-cling. The body retains its original VIN Tag and Trim Tag. The chassis has been restored and powder-coated for durability, and all suspension components have been rebuilt and detailed to current restoration standards. The bumpers have been rechromed and all stainless trim has been polished. Unique L88 aspects of the car include OEM heater delete plates and dash plugs, an OEM radio delete dash panel, OEM transistor ignition, OEM road draft tube, OEM J56 big-brake stiffener brackets, proportioning valve, dual-pin calipers, reproduction 36-gallon gas tank cover and reproduction cold-air hood ducting. The original-style ’67 Corvette interior was restored utilizing Al Knoch carpet, door panels, seat covers, headliner and dash pads. The dash cluster and clock have been restored, along with the center console and parking brake console. This ‘Vette rides on 15” American Racing Torque Thrust D with Goodyear Blue Streak racing tires and tubes.
