Car history: |
2) Can a car be beautiful and nasty and the same time? Of course it can! And this one definitely qualifies! Start out with a highly documented (Tank Sticker, Window Sticker, Shipper, Dealer PDI Sheet) and rare (1 of 624) #'s matching 68 L89 Convertible in stunning Corvette Bronze. Throw in owner history with copies of past titles, restoration receipts. Then proceed to do a complete and correct frame off restoration. And what you end up with is one of the highest performance Corvettes ever built! These L89's were beasts! Most were ordered from St. Louis as bare boned go-fast conveyances. But, every once in a while, a buyer would check some additional RPO boxes beyond the norm. And that is the case with our featured car. The performance pieces are there, to be sure!

Just enough to make the beast a bit tamer and user friendly than the rest. 167 miles from the odometer. Color codes from the trim plate. Built date is D17.
