Equipment
427/430hp L88, 4-speed, Rally wheels with trim rings and hubcaps, red line tires, J56 power brakes, 4.56 Positraction, transistor ignition, tank sticker and Protect-o-Plate documented.
Condition
Very good paint. Excellent brightwork with new bumpers. The engine compartment is fully restored and highly detailed. The underbody is excellent with some oxidation to the exhaust. The interior is like new. Driven on a road trip to Alaska in 1969 and drag raced for a short time after. Restored in 1988, Bloomington Gold Special Collection. Still nearly like new. A trailer queen.
Market commentary
Reported sold at Kissimmee in 2014 for $550,800 and offered by Mecum at Indy earlier this year where it was reported bid to the same result as here. While it is an L88 convertible, it also is a nearly two-decade old restoration. It is surprising the Mecum Monterey bidders weren't more in tune with it.
