These are pretty expensive. Like, I could buy 2 perfect condition 250 GT Lussos for one of these.

@fastestlaps please delete the Super8 data, change the power to 430 bhp and delete the torque.

The biggest issue is spec for me The L88 had no Radio heater or air conditioner. Built for Sebring. I spoke to folks yesterday at Big city corvettes Keen corvettes and guy on Long Island Rt 109 Babylon BIG PLACE I forget the name. They all said that I would be detracting from the VALUE. The guy in California said if ya want a Vette with a radio buy one that they originally put a radio in. The L** never had a Radio Thanks so much for your input

Question - If your building an L88 replicate as I am for 12 years from all NOS parts, that I have actually found on ebay and Graig's list and your near the end of this outrageous endeavor and your Builder wants to put a Radio in the car because he is a music person - Driving me nuts - Gonna distract from the value of what I done Right?? I want to stay within spec as much as possible NO?

Sadly, because C2 had aero problem, it can reach it's true top speed. But GM claim is 170 mph.

Actually, it was 560. With that much power, you'd think it'd be faster, but with the close ratio 4 on the floor, the car is designed very much for acceleration, just like most other old school muscle cars.

It also happen in 1968 L88.

@ Mike B: It's never underrated. 430 Hp is one of GM trick to fool insurance company. Some magazine when tested this car feel this car had close performance like racing version. I believe the net was around 420 Hp.

I don't find reasonable the use of that output, not only was the 560hp not stock, even if it was underrrated the advertised 430hp gross hp would still be higher than the real as installed net hp, which was probably around 350hp or less.

Same deal like 1968 model and only 20 that ever made.
