Possible, sure but seeing this guy has the HP wrong also is a Zero feedback seller makes a fella wonder if he even knows anything about Corvettes much less the difference between an L71 or L88?.
Also if a real L88 and he knew it, you'd think he'd offer something more than what he's laid out?.

Not the best ebay auction I've ever seen either. But, If I
was in the market for an L-88 "in the rough", this is
exactly what I would look for. I'd have someone over there
in a heart beat to see under the hood

Not that color means anything but she is pretty close to the one that was up here. Yes the one that I didnot buy for $7500.00 because the clutch was blown and the M22 didnot shift right. OH to have those days over. That was probally 1980 however before we all knew how rare the L88 was.
Car is still here about 4 hours from me sitting like this one but all apart indoors and not for sale for any price.

Hello Jason,
The Corvette photos shows a aftermarket style L-88 style hood. The wiper door assembly has been removed to install the 1973 and newer style hood.
The car show white paint under the gold paint. The gold paint is not even close to the Riverside Gold only offered 1 year for 1969.
The lack of more photos of under hood and engine to show details.
Regards,
Drew Papsun

Looking at this auction brings me back about 7 years ago.
Also - to Long Island. I had a client at the time who ownd several
"special" Ford high performance cars including a 289 Cobra,
a 427 Cobra and two original GT40's. These of course were
all parked in his garage. However, outside in the tall
grass ( rusting away ) was a 1970 428 Super Cobra Jet Cougar.
The owner drove past it every day and was un-moved
about its condition. Finally, a house painter working on
the estate next door spotted the Cougar and rescued it.
According to my client, the painter never did make full
payment on the car - but took delivery anyway.

So - perhaps the L-88 in question is the bottom of the barrel for
its current owner. Wish I had a spare $30,000.00
so I could get this baby ( if real - that is ).
