Steve Bramati's (SBR) 1969 L88 Corvette Coupe!!!

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!

Steve,

I still enjoy seeing your car every chance I get, what a prize, love the paperwork. You know I'm a paperwork guy. Do you have the mag wheels that were on the car in the pictures? That's a classic look.

[SBR]

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.

Put it in one of those clear plastic bubbles and transport it to Mikes in case of rain. Or for Christmas, do the same with Santa in it with some fake snow for a front lawn display.

That it one incredible ride Steve - thanks for sharing it. I worked at the St. Louis assembly plant in the summer of '69 and actually got to test drive an L88 with the same color combination as yours. My girlfriend's father (she's now my wife) frequently drove "road test" cars for one evening and then returned them to the OK car lot the next day for shipment. I drove a lot of fast cars, but I have to say that the L88 Corvette scared the #@#@ out of me. Thanks again for sharing yours. Bruce

Steve,

What a ya talkin about? You got a deal! Thank you Lou Sr. for that rare piece. I remember him filling it, like a sponge, with water as he was saying ' yeah, it outta be OK.' I bought that from him in 94 and treated it like you do now...a piece that would be hard to replace. I'm glad it's on such a nice car.
