The cool part is if you look at that L88 engine stamping it looks like it has a cars vin stamped also. I wonder where that car is................

I saw that too. Looks like a nice assembly stamp and ID number stamp. Broach looks good, also. Some car may be missing its L88 motor.

In the photo of the engine compartment...it appears to have a Big Block heater core ( which could have been added )
...and in the top left corner ...is that a bracket for a/c?
...but looks like it could be a fun car

That assembly code appears to be "IU" and if memory serves me right that denoted 1967 (and maybe 1968) L71/L89. 1967-68 L88 used an "IT" assembly code.
Also, the first digit of the VIN derivative (year designation) looks to be a "4".

It looks like "IU" engine code, but the VIN looks like 18S(or 5)41xxxx.

It must have had A/C at one time. Look at the dash and you see the vents. 67's didn't have astro-ventilation so the vents are for the A/C system.

Another factory small-block car, trying to be a converted engine Supercar. The owner must not know that converted engine Camaro's, etc, were not vin# stamped, on the other hand, maybe he does know!
That would be great to find the original Corvette this L-71 came out of.

One question guys.....what is this owner tring to make this car out to be, a B/M, Yenko, or Nickey? He doesn't mention any of these Supercar names in the Ebay listing.
