| Added to Registry 06/25/2013 This 1968 Chevrolet Corvette L-88 convertible is best known for its tire-melting burnout photographed for the February 1986 cover of Road&Track magazine, which dedicated eight and a half pages to a feature story comparing its considerable charms to those of the then-new 1986 Corvette. And yet even without the benefit of today’s all-pervasive media, this milestone machine has become a perennial star in the Corvette community, winning Bloomington Gold Certification and earning a place in the famed L-88 Invasion. When it appeared in R&T, it was owned by southern California collector Merle DuPrey and, at just short of 16,000 miles, was described by the editors as being “as authentic as it’s possible for a 1968 car to be,” which judgement certainly applies today. Later the subject of a frame-off restoration by the Naber Brothers of Houston, it is finished as original in Tuxedo Black with a White soft top and the original Custom Black leather interior. It retains its original L-88 engine, transistorized ignition, 4-speed manual transmission, off- road exhaust, Positraction rear end and tinted windows and is fully documented with the original GM order form, Protect-O-Plate, two tank stickers, dealer invoice, 1968 title application, an issue of the Road&Track magazine and the original owner’s manual.
