Interesting...originally a 390hp 427 car...and restored as an L88. I may be all wet on prices, but $550k feels pretty ambitious. $55k? Now we're talking.

Since when did NCRS start "authenticating" made up cars? Car is an admitted 390HP car, not restored, it's modified...

I can assure you that this car has never been on an NCRS judging field.

Maybe a judge authenticated the engine as an original born with l88 engine from another 69 corvette? Car is probably worth $100,000 at the most.

That NCRS restored line is used all the time. It is supposed to convey that the car is "ready" for judging.

I don't think there will be a line up at 100K. Its "just another Corvette", nothing special, that someone installed a L88 in.

Change the car to a Camaro.. Now say it is advertised as a COPO (knockoff admitted). Would you pay 100K for it??

Just my.02 cents worth....

You’re probably right. I just said that number because of all the wacky high prices people have been paying.
