"What if we knew then.......what we know now"?
Just looking at a typical build sticker for the 1968 Corvette and noting that the add-on price (over the top of the standard 300hp 327) for the L36 390 hp 427 engine option which my car came with was $200 over ticket price and thinking.......what if the original buyer had 'ticked' the L88 engine option @ $947.......wonder what that would have done for 'todays' supposed value? - of course that would presume that the purchaser 'knew' exactly what he or she was doing and managing to extract the required information from the supplying dealer.......together with the things he couldn't have (like cooling fan and heater etc)

L36 427ci, 390hp Engine 200.15
L68 427ci, 400hp Engine 305.50
