Details

This factory big-block Corvette (photo documentation) with original VIN and trim tags, has been magnificently restored and upgraded to the legendary L88 specs. Originally a Marina Blue car, the paint was upgraded to Rally Red. In the late 1960's, the car was race prepped by Joel Rosen (Baldwin-Motion) with traction bar, special tuning, shifter, etc. After years of racing, the car was found in a yard on Long Island in the early 1990s in need of restoration. The past owner from Florida began a 20-year odyssey searching and finding NOS L88 parts and then assembled the ultimate L88 1967 Corvette carbon-copy. This car now has a dated 04/13/67 NOS L88 block, balanced and blueprinted 12.5 pistons, 010 correct P7 M22 Rock Crusher manual transmission, correct FC-code 456 rear and correct-dated intake. Its equipped with J56 heavy-duty power brakes with DG-code master cylinder and front brakes with dual-pin calipers. It has NOS downdraft tube, radio and heater delete dash with correct black-off plates, and correct-dated heads. A spectacular upgraded restoration to the epitome of a 1967Corvette. It's affectionately labeled by the owner as 'the 21st L88.' Larry Jaworkse (Joel Rosen's business partner in the 1970's) inspected the car before it was restored for previous owner Paul Raber and noted the typical performance add-ons done by Baldwin/Motion.
