Steve, great looking!! Will we ever see the car at the local cruise nights. I remember a certain red L88 out one summer night this past year. The $12K OBO, was this the 1984 price?

That is a great car with no excuses. Real Deal as John Ballard might say. Certainly in the top five or ten L88s in the country.

Have you ever seen an original element for the air cleaner base?

Steve, ya gotta love those "LO" open chamber L88's. The significant changes they made to that engine makes yours even more rare than just it's originality. I don't know how many of the '69 L88's got the "LO" engine.......Thanks for sharing it with us!

Paul, the open chambered L88s went into production on June of 69. Actual production is around 40 cars.
Tim, I too like the look of the vintage wheels but they are long gone. The classified ad is from 1984.
Mike, if the weather is better than the last car B que maybe I will get the police escort LOL.

Mark, here is a couple of pics of an original foam seal for the air cleaner base. I do not use it because it probably is the most expensive piece of foam in history and I don't want some dope, namely me closing the hood on it and ruining it.
