The CRAZIEST and RAREST Corvette Ever Made - The 1967 L88 Corvette
Вставка
- Опубліковано 29 вер 2024
- The Chevy Corvette boasts one of the longest and most dynamic histories of any vehicle ever made. From the original narrow-bodied C1 Corvette to the modern mid-engine 8,000 RPM Z06, the Corvette has evolved through many shapes and forms. Among the eight generations of Corvettes over the past 70 years, one in particular has achieved almost mythical status.
This is the car that makes two-hundred-thousand-dollar resto-mod Corvette owners envious and was one of the fastest production cars in the world when it was originally built: the 1967 L88 Corvette.

Got to drive one when I was young. An experience I will never forget. L88 with unmuffled side pipes. Owner let me drive it like I stole it!
My best friend’s dad had a black C3 with a 427. His dad took me for a ride in it and he started from a standstill. He brake locked it and floored it. It was brutal. I still remember the transmission upshifting. Each time it would slam you back in the seat. 35 years later no car has ever scared me except that one.
😵😵
Ford Cobra SC427 or Ford GT40, with the high rise 427 are even faster.
You mean power brake?
@@Clevelandsteamer324 Yeah my bad.
Friend had a L88 and took me for a ride, it was fast and boy did it have a rough firm ride.
I had a factory black 427 C3. One of the prettiest cars ever built. Could not keep it from breaking valve springs. Afraid to take a trip in it. So I kept it local and married a lady who loved black corvettes. Thanks General Motors for taking a chance on fiberglass vehicles.
Rarer than a '69 ZL1? No. There were two made for production. There were 20 1967 L88s made.
And you could technically say 1 example of the 1984 Corvette was made. Kinda. It was a prototype that survived, not production.
I won't say the L88 isn't an exceedingly special rare powerful and desirable Corvette. But to say it is the rarest is simply not true.
I agree, the all aluminum ZL-1 was the King of Rare.
Correct.
There's only two or three depending on who you talk to
My brother had a new '66 Vette hardtop convertible with all the performance options offered. The factory rated it at 435 hp but that was was less than what the reality was.
My Dad was, at the time, the service manager for Complete Trucking Co.with over 300 trucks. They hauled Buicks out of Flint , Michigan, running Chevy 427's in their trucks. the tuned down 390 hp versions but , stiill , the same basic engines as the Vette had. One day, my Dad brought home a Chevrolet service pamphlet that showed the horsepower figures for the high end 427's like the one in my brother's car. It showed , and called out, the engine on a dyno putting out 565 hp.
I believe it. I got to drive that car several times. It was a beast. With 3.33 gears in the rear end , the Michigan Sate Police got him on radar doing 164 mph. I myself drove it from Lansing to Flint averaging 135 mph in Fourth gear and it was just loafing at about 2/3 throttle.
435 gross was the bare dyno number which is only 355 NET horsepower. GM did NOT under rated engines, it did NOt put out more than 435 gross
My great uncle still has a `69 L88 vette, that he bought used back in `77 (he paid $6000), and he's always taken pretty good care of it and kept it running. One day though, it will be mine, and other than paint and a few relatively minor body and mechanical issues, I'll have it back on the road on a regular basis. 👍
as a kid back in 1976 i played jr football, my friends mom used to drive him & i to practice in a 1966 427 vette, we'd pile in on the passenger side barely fitting. that car was so badass, along with that 4 speed it was so fcking cool. even as a kid who knew nothing, i knew it was something special.
Best generation of Corvette.
Sport car.
I thought the C2's front end started floating at 100 mph.
The 1967 vett was the last year in that body style and everything fit Well . The 1968 was the first year of the NEW body style and it was horrible nothing fit well, it rattled and parts fell off !
The 1967 vett was the Best !!
Race only, Radio / heater delete and No fan shroud. Really " street car ".Try driving a C2 on the street without a fan shroud. But we'll install clear plastic back up lights for those dark nights in the pits. The L88 is an enigma.
that´s my car but i thought it was a 65 for some reason i thought the next body sold till the early 80´s was the 67 and what a car it was ,i had three of them in diferent years i sold U.S. cars in Europe, kept maybe 10 or 12 most of them are pontiacs starting in 67 and ending in 74 with the firebird trans am formula 400 one of my favorite cars also the fastest car in the world when released
La Maaaans😂
Of the 20 1967 L88 Corvettes, only 32 are still in existence! Yes, these cars get faked.
It was a race car. It wouldn't run on pump gas.
69 l88 was dynoed well over 500
bull
@@chadhaire1711 here dumbass. The '69 L88 was factory rated at 430 hp at 5,200 rpm (that's perception), and there's little debate on whether or not Chevy was sandbagging with those numbers. Actual dyno tests back in the day indicated a far more realistic output of 550-560 hp at elevated rpm ranges in the neighborhood of 6,500 rpm (that's reality).
00:28
'Originally built'?
How many times was it built?
lol
They came in at 521 horsepower.
no they didn't
Too bad the rear wheel wells couldn't accommodate wide tires to transfer the power to pavement.
They stop making Corvette's after 1967.
pic at 1.30 aint no vette or the next one either
Why would the narrator label this car as "infamous"? He clearly doesn't know the meaning of the word.
Can anyone say Lemans properly? Not the AI bot here... Who doesn't know how to pronounce Laaaaaah-Maaaaans?
is this video AI generated?
yes..and the numbers are bullshit
I have to call bullshit. I've never seen anybody put one of these on a dyno, much less see 560 hp. Unless and until one is pulled from an L88, I have to call the claim of 560 bullshit. You should, too.
The C8 is such a disappointment. Pure Euro Trash.
The c1, 2 and 3 were so much more attractive.
Ford Mustang Boss 351 is the GOAT ❤
Not on the track, not on the street and not in the showroom. I'd own one, but it was not the best. Ford made other cars in this era that would eat its lunch. Chrysler did too. Even Buick did. Street legal cars.The Boss 351 was a mid to high 13 second car.
No😂😂😂😂😂
Maybe a Boss 429
I like the older mustangs, they were underrated at auctions but they are not a legendary 67 L88. It's like comparing a hotdog to a ny strip steak. But the mustangs were cool looking. No offense.
Hahaha! We found the Ford guy, and not a very smart one.😂
It’s not pronounced Le MANS, it’s pronounced Le mawn.
The n is silent. It's li maw.
My next door neighbor in Los Altos Ca always smoked cigars. He had a 1967 Corvette, L88 roadster, with side pipes and Walker Chamber Pipes, which were merely dimpled metal tubes. It was black on black. I was in high school and he would wake me up when he started it. He also had 2 1962 Vettes in Roman Red. And a 57 Bel Air black and silver, with 327/4sp and two small lawn chairs for back seats. And he had the 3rd 1953 Vette... in parts. And he had at least 3 fuel injection systems. And he had a 3 barrel 900cfm Holley DP carb on one car but he took it off 'cause they had issues. We became good friends, he was 10 yrs older than me, so 27 in 1967, . His sweetie went nuts-oo and they divorced. He had to sell everything. Except the house. Kept one 62' Vette. In 1999 I sold my 1959 Vette that I had boought from my dad in 1982. (Dad bought it in 1966). And he sold his 62 to the same person, a friend from highschool. My neighbor was a Systems Designer. had a dozen patents in microwave and infrared, designed and installed entire cockpit array's in U2's and B58's. and other such things. He died a couple of years ago. Anyhow, that car was very cool. As for octane, I recall being at Foot Hill Expressway and Grant Rd and Regular gas was 103 octane and about 33 cents.
I bet u wish u had that guys car
SUNOCO 260 BLUE!
I can remember EXACTLY how that fuel smelled.😂
Cool story.
,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,Awesome history.................In 1970 ,,,at age 19 ; I heard of an L-88 eng for sale ; it was for 500. dollars ; so as I met the seller and we walked along the long backyard driveway ; all of a sudden his walking pace quickened ; as I looked ahead , I saw he was aiming directly at a garage with a lower missing panel.......I realised then that my dream engine was stolen from that garage.......Today , I'm lucky to own a 1996 Z/28 camaro droptop six speed stick..........anyway,,,,,chevy forever........even though I luv Ford and Mopar........
Still seeking approval from others … how sad
The most expensive Corvette to come to auction today is a 1967 L 88 Corvette red four-speed,
4 million us
I saw that car at Bloomington in 1994 and after the show it sold for $400,000 and we thought that was outrageous. People sure have money out there these days but it sure was a beautiful car. Red with Red interior and the only L88 in 67 those colors. Story was the président of Pontiac ordered it for his 17-year old son, don't know if that was true or not but that was the story then.
@@thud9797 what moron would order that for their 17 year old son what do you want to kill him
i owned a '65 Roadster with the first BBC, the L87 396/425 HP engine...a baby L88 as it was. It was a super fun car and the girls loved it and it was pretty darn fast (I was a young Marine at the time in the early 70's but the car I owned as an 17/18 year old before I joined The Corps was a '70 Mach I with a Cleveland 351 4V engine that myself and my dad rebuilt/blueprinted and converted to a mech cam solid lifter car and pulled 480 HP on the dyno was actually faster). But the BBC vette with the offroad exhaust and the top off/down was an incredibly fun car, and though i have owned a 2018 Porsche GT2 RS and now drive a Ferrari F8 as my play car, the big block vert vette still holds a warm spot in my heart!
Great story, those 396s always run really well. Everyone agree's I own a 66 425hp and a 67 435hp car now. But I have great memories of my 19 year old twin bro's first corvette, red on black 65 396, it ripped, back in 1979
You mean L78 ?
The 348/409 was the first big block.

20 mph faster than the Ferraris on the Mulsanne Straight
L88s were monsters. In 1973 John Greenwood would hit 215 mph on that same straightaway in his L88 Corvette.
Very interesting and informative video. I never thought I would here anyone actually mispronounce the simple common word LEMANS but your AI narrator sure did butcher it. LOL!
Glad you liked it! sorry for the mispronunciation, I'm trying to improve my videos every day 👌
They were given to Apollo astronauts in the late 60s. Must have been a hell of a time to be alive! The most powerful rocket on earth, and the most powerful Corvette. I miss that America.
I lived those times; I had just turned 11 at the time of the fist moon landing, I was so proud of my country, now I am ashamed of our country and its pathetic, incompetent leadership.
@@user-Dr. I was only 6 years old in 69, but I do remember watching the moon landing with my Pa, sitting on the couch together. There were tears coming out of his eyes, I asked him why, he said "son, you have to realize, all I knew when I was your age was a horse and buggy on our farm. We didn't buy a used model T truck until 1936." He was proud of where the country had gotten to with the space shots in the 60s. He was born in 23, grew up in northern Wisconsin during the worst of the depression, and was in Burma fighting the Japanese during WWII. He was a great guy, I miss him every day!
Those weren’t L-88s. Alan Shepard had an L-71 and the others had L-36s from Jim Rathbun.
@@user-Dr. That america the whole world look up to is gone. It's gone. Now you have incompetent, seniles and DEI's and all sort of minorities and women running it into the ground. Sorry, man, need to get it off my chest. I never left America. America left me, us. I'm now divorced.
My next car will be a chinese brand.
@@jerryp514
Kudos ro Shepherd, I thought they were all 390 hp cars.
I had a 67 427 390hp coupe 3.73 sears trans m22 tranny and transistor ignition. It ran a consistent 13.2 at 107mph . Everything was stock. You could take hubcaps and air cleaner off. Lost my first race burning too much coming out of the hole. Changed air pressure and came out at lower rpm. Never lost again in 3 years. Lebanon valley dragway. Wish i still had it!
Yu beat the Kawasaki H1's ?
HORSEPOWER DEPO = this channel does 9 second stock looking CORVETTE`s = love a super fast stock looking car ! thank you .
"love a super fast stock looking car" Same!
My friends dad had a 67 with the big motor -- not the L88... We were teens in the 80's and would drool over it when he brought it out of the garage. Absolutely beautiful machine.
Gʻ.m shood bring back the song ray with. 427
LeMans😂😂 if you love cars the narrator made you crack up too.
Pretty sure it’s computer-generated audio
Great car! But who wrote the script? Wordy in the extreme. Red pencil, please.
I have driven my friend's silver 1968 L88 convertible to a car show and his white 1967 L88 coupe (known as the Flying Dutchman) back from the car show. Although fun to drive, they will quickly overheat in traffic. My 1969 coupe with the hydraulic lifter 427 is much more enjoyable to drive. Besides, driving a $3+ million car in city traffic with all the idiots on the road today is not a good idea.
The factory rating was done with cast iron manifolds they came with....and 430 was about what they made being choked so badly. The other 427 options were 390, 425 and 435 all using the same manifolds so their power outputs were all similar. The L88 DID make mid to high 500's when you put tuned headers and the side exhausts....so Chevy was telling the truth and playing a bit of gamesmanship at the same time.
Probably backed off on the timing a bit too!
The stock chambered side exhaust pipes didn't flow well...
They rated the horse power lower for insurance reasons.
@@mzaccagnini7179
Maybe for others but the L88 with the factory manifolds and exhaust system all it would make was 430hp at 5200 rpm, that's the result of restrictive exhaust and the long duration cam which absolutely needed open headers to run the big numbers. Check the magazine times for the L88, all in the 13's so there was no derated engine here, that's just all it made in stock form. In 69 it was even worse when all Corvettes had a 2-inch exhaust system, surprised the L88 would even run at all.
Actually it was done for a couple of reasons, and with a small trick so it was accurate also. First, GM had a ban on factory engines making more than 425 horsepower in anything other than a full size car or Corvette, so they had to get creative on ratings above 425 since these engines were going into Malibus, Novas and Camaros. GM fudged the numbers just a little to keep the numbers right there at 425 but just a hair over. They just needed people to understand that certain engines were hotter than other engines. The L72 was the original king, the L71 had to be rated higher, as did the L88 and the ZL1. However, if you look at the L71, L88 & ZL1 variations, they were rated at well under their true red line so yes, it did make the rated horsepower but at 5,000 to 5,800 RPM. They revved much higher than that. I had an L88 back in the 70's that pulled to about 7,000 no problem. I had a 1968 Z28, the 302 was rated at 290 HP but at 4,000 RPM. The engine revved well over 6,000 RPM before it ran out of power, but the 290 HP rating was accurate at the rated 4,000 RPM.
The insurance issue didn't really become important until a few years later, closer to 1970.
The car is famous, not infamous. There is nothing infamous about it.
The L88 was rated at 430 HP at 5100 RPM for advertising purposes. Note the RPM, this was not false advertising.
BULLSHIT...no factory 427 ever came close to 500 hp...bullshit!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Nickey Chevrolet would sell you a L-88 , L-78 ZL1 or a ls6 or 7 454 big block for you to put into any car you wanted ..
Timeless design GM
Gulfstream also Timeless design ❤
Crazier than the horsepower numbers is the fact that according to The Hemmings Motor News, sometime prior to 1994, only about Twenty of these beasts were ever even built/sold
Average person has NO IDEA that when you say L88 they need to stoop and bow, haha. We were too ignorant back then to even know what it was but I guarantee you that many 70 year olds today wish we'd have known about L88s back in the day!!
You should have made a detailed comparison with the all-aluminum ZL-1 427. I think it may have been even more expensive, I seem to recall $9000 but don't quote me. BTW I just looked it up and new it was just over $10k and that 2.6 MM price you quoted appears to have been for a ZL-1 (which is basically the all-aluminum L88) However the ZL-1 was open chamber and the L88 could be either closed or open. Turns out the original closed chamber could be made to make more HP. Don't quote me on any of this, I'm a 71 year old street racing Studebaker Super Lark guy.
I got a 427/390 hp convertible during my last year at the Academy. We were allowed a car for our final year (1965-1966) and Daniels Chevrolet in Castle Rock, CO could get us one for, as I remember, $500.00 over book. I purchased andI drove my red convertible for the year following graduation while in pilot training. Unfortunately, when I was sent to Vietnam (in C-130 aircraft) I screwed up and sold the car to an incoming cadet at the Air Force Academy with plans to buy a new one upon my return to the U. S. The Chevrolet factory was on strike when I got back (for the better part of a year as I recall) and I needed wheels so I bought an older Thunderbird. Nice car but hardly my precious Corvette. However, in retrospect, had I kept that Thunderbird, it would actually be pretty valuable today also! But life, marriage and family subsequently intruded and I never did get a new Corvette. But did subsequently purchase a 1970 Datsun (Nissan) 240-Z which I am restoring right now. Which in cherry condition will also be fun to drive. Sure wish I had that Vette though!
Know guy who has one since 1972
Love the accuracy with the exception of the production number which was 20. Last heard only 5 exist. Coolest Corvette ever!
Not true. The number is 16, maybe only 5 still have their born with blocks. These were race cars meant for the track. When ya beat the hell out of any motor, it will eventually fail.
@@nomojoho2920 I'd seen the first article about it and first learned of it in early '80's. I was 20 years old. They all stated 20, even that channel here named "Musclecar of the week" even stated this. Do you have authentic factory printed documentation to back that up? That would dispel it beyond any reasonable doubt.
@@DARElove60 I think he meant that 16 still exist... not that only 16 were built. Yes, there were originally 20 built in '67 (21 if you count the prototype which still exists) but in fact, there are 17 1967 Corvettes that are on the "official" list of L88 survivors, compiled by NRCS members. However, one of those cars' authenticity has been debated by some of the members, so "16" is the number most people quote when talking about surviving '67 L88s. 6 of those were modified for racing and have been restored in their racing form. The other 11 of the cars are still in stock form, most of which have been fully restored, though not all have their original engines.
8 of the cars on the list are proven to be 100% authentic, factory built L88s that still have their original numbers matching engines.
The other 8 of the cars on the list have plenty of documentation (window stickers, tank stickers, etc...) that proves they were factory built L88s, but either don't have their numbers matching engines or I simply haven't been able to find information on them that confirms whether or not they have their num matching engines.
Only one of the 20 is 100% confirmed to no longer exist (it was originally purchased by the king of Iraq and destroyed in a crash), and the other 2 are presumed to still exist somewhere, with several known cars being possibilities, but they haven't been authenticated yet or can't be authenticated.
@@livewire2759 Thanks for the correction. Nice to know most are still around! A true factory race car.
As a kid I'd walk by the corvette and look in just to see the speedometer that said 160mph on it.
I could pin that 160 speedometer in my '76 460 Ford cop car....
The silver '67 car with red interior does show someone installed a radio between 5:35 and 5:40.
I had a 69 Yanko Chevy Nova 427 when I was 18yrs old in 1972.. it was the baddest car in town..also got in too much trouble to mention…ps but the girls loved it!
They're making the Yenko C8 Vettes now!
Always wanted a 1963 Split Window Corvette. I know it blocks part of your view to the rear, but it’s also kinda rare…. I’ll take mine with a FI 327 please!!!!
I had a '68 427 4spd Roadster.....fun car and the body design was just SOOO cool!! And yes, all Corvettes are "Sports Cars" but the 427 (and later 454 versions) were ALSO "Muscle Cars!!
Sorry, just because you have a large engine in a sports car doesn't make it a muscle car. Muscle cars by definition are intermediate bodies with either large engines or high horsepower. These are the GTO, Charger, Road Runner, Chevelle SS, 442, and such. Cars like Mustang, Camaro, Javelin, and Cuda were pony cars, small, sporty cars with long hoods and short rear decks. Sports cars were small, typically two-seaters, with very good handling, light weight, and high performance. This included everything from Triumph Spitfires to Corvettes and Cobras.
@@tommissouri4871 I was THERE and remember them all. I grew up in that era. These and many other American cars had MUSCLE installed into them by the factory and although they don't fit the most used title of "Muscle Car" today, they truly are factory "Muscle Cars". In HS I had a factory stock '62 Impala SS 409 hipo with dual 4s and close ratio 4spd with positraction. Although it doesn't fit the later title of "Muscle Car" it still was. FACT
I COPO'ed a '66 L72, one of two built that year. Don Yenko bought the other one. Actually mine was 'one of one' as it was a coupe. The Yenco/Summers Vette was a roadster. There was a recall of all L72's which only amounted to removing the 450HP air cleaner decal and installing a 425HP decal.

15 were built in 66. 9 were automatics. Dick Guldstrand drove the first one in February 66 which belonged to Roger Penske.
What months were 1967 corvette L88 built. What casting dates would be on Alu heads with a 293 casting number ? Thanks.
I always laugh at the idea GM wanted this to be somehow "secret" and only for those who knew. People knew. I'm certain a lot of Corvette buyers in 1967 walked in an said to a salemean, "I want the fastest Corvette I can buy!" Yet when told about the L88 most would have bristled at the idea for a street car purchase. To suggest they didn't know about the L88 is non-sense to be sure. Chevy would have loved to have sold more of the '67 L88 cars. The real story here comes back to cost and what you got with various option packages. The extra cost of the L88 option wasn't in place to deter buyers. GM policy that prohibited selling options at a loss was the more likely cause. The L88 option wasn't as insanely expensive as the 1969 ZR1 all aluminum 427 option but it did have enough extra expense built in that deviated from the more generic 427 engines to warrant that higher price tag. If Chevy really had motivation to limit the appeal of this engine it was more likely found in avoiding disappointment with the complete lack of reliable and trouble free operation in everyday driving. Seeing these cars sold to race oriented buyers mostly happened because if you really understood what you were buying and how you wanted to use the car.......you wouldn't buy an L88 for the street anyway. Paying MORE for a car with no creature comforts and an engine that requires octane levels not always available. That's tough to live with in a daily driver and paying UP for these problems wouldn't have made sense to anyone other than the guy who intended to take his new Corvette directly to the race track. Today we look back with 20/20 hind-sight and think why didn't more people order an L88? Yet, it wasn't some grand conspiracy to torpedo sales to the public by Chevrolet. It was just common sense that saw the vast majority of buyers choosing a car with more options for less money. Absolutely none of these buyers could have seen a day coming when these cars would command 7 figure price tags. If they had many of these cars would have found their way into a zip lock bag and socked away foor the big payout later.
This wasn't the rarest. THE RAREST was the ZL1, of which exactly TWO were built.
Great documentary. I would suggest getting your specifications correct though, and use pics of engines in Corvettes not passenger cars, as your focus is on the 67 L-88.
Top 327 corvette engine was 375hp.
6000 Dollars!...that doesn't even by you a crappy used Subaru nowadays.
Later on in life I bought my first Corvette a '96 Collectors Edition which I loved to drive, after that I bought a brand new Magnetic Red 2004 with a 5 speed stick but soon afterwords my wife got t-boned by a guy that ran a red light and it got totaled, I replaced that with a used 2005 with the z-51 handling package and drove that for quite a while, after retireing, I decided it was time to go big, you only live once kinda thing so I upgraded to a new 2017 Z-06, and oh my god, this vette blows my mind evey time I drive it, I will never sell this vette. I can't believe this car is street legal but I am so glad GM let Chevy put the amount of time and money to make a car this awesome, the exhaust note is pure heaven.
The L88 didn't produce nearly that amount of horsepower. Not even using gross ratings.
My corvette was very dependable. It wasn't made for the severe cold however. Not the engine but the body. Fiberglass doors would freeze shut for one.
560 gross, maybe. BHP, if you're lucky, 450.
Only vette I cared for. 67 stingray split rear window . Most stylish model produced.
Is this one the fastest year ever made, is it faster than the new ones? Would it beat an AC Cobra, if both of them had the biggest engines they usually put in? Would it beat the fastest Camaros, or 1977 Trans Am, etc?
Great info.! Beautiful cars! Either a stupid human or bad AI pronunciations.
Is it too much to ask creators to read the script themselves? What the heck are you afraid of?
The rarest Corvette is the ZL1 only two made and hade a more powerful engine as well.
This is NOT the rarest Corvette.The ZL1 Corvette is. There is two or three of them . One is believed to be in Seattle.
How does a car website mispronounce the name LeMans, calling it La man's? (Rhymes with cans).
Correct is French Le Ma...

Although C2 L88 cars are rare, they are not the rarest, I think in production the 1969 ZR1 @ 2 might be rarer. Non production= any of the prototypes, the V10 C4 or the Callaway Sledgehammer would be rarer. Just saying LOL. G
ZL1, at 2 Corvettes and 69 Camaros.
L88 wasn't the rarest. The 1969 ZL1 was.
Agree with you
Yeah, two of them.
Yup, and only one is documented. Numerous fake clones are out there. Let the buyer beware...

TRUMP 2024
This guy talks like a robot. Robots don't know shit.
😂 also the worst handling production car of all time
That black L88 is the sexiest car I've ever seen!!
I had a 77' Oldsmobile Omega with a 327 small block with a racing cam. & a 4 barrel carb. Headers and a dual exhaust.. Pozzy rear-end.. It was FAST in the quarter-mile with a 3-speed hydro-automatic tranny.. I bought it for $600 with bullet holes in the trunk cover because it was a drug-running car.. Red with Red interior..
4.56 rear ends? Shit me blind!
Sweet car! Yes! But its HP is overrated. Love it!
The Corvette wasn't a "true" sports car.
Great professional video. thanks 😊
You're very welcome!
560 HP? I call bullshit.
My memory must have failed me, I thought they put a few all aluminum 427's in the 67, but these 67 L88's are my favorite car of all time, I think one of the best cars ever produced.
No. No '67 Vettes with the ZL1.
@@alpalombo275 OK yeah, was that the all aluminum 427 I was thinking about, the ZL1?
@@user-Dr. Yes, the all aluminum 427 of the late 60s was called the ZL1. And It had the same internals as the L88, hence the same HP. Only considerably lighter. And much more expensive. I believe the ZL1 engine option was about $6,000.
And IIRC, only 1 Vette sold with the factory ZL1, and I believe it was in '69. A few Camaros sold with a factory ZL1. (also in '69 IIRC) Not sure about Chevelles.
But if you wanted a REALLY FAST factory drag car, you wanted a '68 Dodge LO23 HEMI Dart. Google it.. At the time, I owned a '69 Plymouth GTX w/ 440, 4-sp, Sure-Grip super track pack Dana 4.10 rear. Monster of a car, but paled to a HEMI Dart!
Lay man's lol
Silly AI voice over!! Anyhow, screw quarter miles. Americans need to work on handling. We can't be stuck on Boomer straight line crap anymore! We've been fastest on straight line for ages geez. Let's change shit up and face challenge for god sakes! WE'RE TOO GOD DAMN COMFORTABLE!!
he shows the first model and then says when the second model is showed the narrow body of the C1,now i understand why the 80´s corvette i got cheap is a C4 my first was considered the fastest car in the world it had manual gears it was a 65 ,for the lovers of automatic or for disabled persons automatic shouldn´t be allowed in more than 100H.P. cars ,learn how to drive first then buy a powerfull car ,what kind of parents offer to their 16 years old children powerfull V8´s and then they cry because their sons and daughters died a day after or in the day it was ofered,i would put them in jail to be raped forever and why? put a 500h.p in the hands of a 16 year old or even 200h.p is too much i started with 11 with a fiat sport abarth with a 850cc engine and with big carburators doble the size of the engine block had 45 h.p. after a VW1200 and only at 18 i had a datsun 1800 tri s or SSS ,bluebird from 71, a luxurious sport car for the winning of the rally championship but drove since i could step on the clutch no matter how many books i had to tie to my snickers
