You would need to get paperwork, the last racecar the son sold also said real L88, but wasnt a real L88 just the engine was! It was still a good racecar though. I imagine this vette to be the same? As ugly as it is, if it were real it would be worth 100's of thousands of dollars, especially if he sold it in the US! RHD brings the price down a bit. Also greenwood didnt have this style in 68 yet, so its been retro fitted. But some Vettes were retro fitted in Greenwood kits back in 72ish. I can guarentee that $25000 is not the sale price, the last L88 went for around $60000ish for an non real L88. so I would imagine if non real it would go for similar?

Hi Andy, do you know if anybody has ever inspected this L88 Race Corvettes' provenance?

If it was the real deal as evidenced by a tank sticker (Corvette Order Copy) and/or a Car Shipper Copy; then it would be worth the dollars you say....if anyone needs proof just ask Andrew Mieckle about his 69 L88 with former race history. Andrews' L88 has been in Oz since the 1970's IIRC.

A few years ago there was a restored 1968 Dow Corning L88 Corvette Race Car offered for sale with an asking price of $2 million US. Even at  todays $1.00AUS=$0.98US, that's a serious amount of cash for a car with race history.

Nonetheless, there are folks around with that cash to splash on rare cars. I guess it's simply "horses for courses".

If this 68 L88 Corvette Race car is the real deal, I hope Dion can realise a fair price for his late fathers' car.;42

Again if it were real you would sell it in the US,  and the price gives it away, even in that condition, with RHD and history...if it were real with numbers match engine and paperwork it would be worth at least $100000, I would buy it on the spot, just like I looked into the other racecar vette they sold, it wasnt the real deal just an L88 block if I remember correctly. The L88 never had a Greenwood body as they were never put on vettes until 74! yes it does have Aussie race history BUT Aussies dont care unfortunately! Andrew's L88 is definetly the real deal even with the non factory original flares its still worth an easy $200,000!
Although dont get me wrong I personally think this racecar is worth 40-60,000 because its set up for racing, BUT its probably not a L88! The reason why the dow corning and similar vettes get big money is because of there Le Mans history!

nifty:
i love it..... looks tuff,and if it does have a heritage...who wouldnt want that?
its refreshing to actually SEE  what used to be common the usa race tracks......and i bet if you seen more of them you too would grow to like them.....
