Let's See Your Own Corvette Personal Favorite Photos

Great detail in your pic.

Thanks. As you know, there are a number of clues as to the existence of a L88 in this car.
- of course the hood, and the accompanying unusual base plate, foam circle, screen, cage and cap over the 850cfm carb
- the absence of a fan shroud
- an aluminum rad, rather than the copper used in all other big-blocks
- the road draft tube (rather than a PCV) on the left intake manifold
- the coolant overflow tank inside the right fender
- the absence of any radio interference suppression pieces (around distributor and ignition wires)
- the aluminum intake manifold (the 390hp single 4bbl was cast iron; the 400hp and 435hp were 3x2bbl carbs)
- the aluminum heads (in 1967) were painted Chevy orange, but in later years were left uncoated

That's a nice set-up you have there Stuart - I've only seen it in your avatar on "another" site before Could almost be in the US!

That C2 L88 I can see has no fan shroud and the large dual breathers on the valve covers.

Indeed. As mentioned earlier, the breather on the left took the place of a PCV, and is actually a road draft tube that simply dumped unburned gases down the pipe and onto the road. For this reason alone, the 1967 L88 was illegal for road use in the US and Canada.

In fact, RPO L88 was documented as "For off road use only" in 1967. For that reason, as well as due to the absence of advertising and non-inclusion in all dealer printed material...not to mention the extreme cost...only 20 were sold that first year.

Cheers Stephen. Waiting on some more neon to put the finishing touch to it. Then we're selling up

Well I couldn't stand it any longer and the weather is fantastic up here in the wild North West so work be damned. Woke a few sheep up from their siesta

They'll get over it......

Nice!

In honour of the new website, I decided to post at least one from the correct side of the road.

Metallic brown, IMO, that is the only car that color looks good on........

Hi All, well if Ross has to post images of his I cannot be left out. I am always on the lookout for cars to go in the magazine. There are plenty of people willing to post on the web. Why don't you have your car in the Mag? I am thinking of changing the title from 'Feature Car' to 'Member's Car'. This, I hope, would let everyone know its not about a pin ups but about your car and what makes it special to you. Rob (mag editor)

If more post their own here, you certainly have a good source to pull from............

Yes, wasn’t sure when I bought it, didn’t see it until it arrived at my door from the states, but I’ve fallen in love with it, and I think the medium saddle interior compliments it.

I’m happy to have a mag feature.

 

[Norm]

It's outstanding, unique, and a looker.

 

[Lagunavette]

Hi Mitty, all you need to do is email me at editor and send pictures. I will then send you some questions which will give you the chance to talk about your car. It's about your car and why you like it. Rob (editor)

 

[Mitty]

Thanks norm.
Rob, I’ll email some over tonight.
