1969 Chevrolet Corvette L88 roadster (Gooding & Company) As mentioned above, the notorious L88 engine option wasn’t meant for ordinary Corvette drivers. With aluminum cylinder heads, big valves and a huge carburetor, it put out in the range of 560 horsepower. To discourage non-racers from ordering, GM underrated that number in the option list to “just” 430 horsepower or five less than the regular street big-block 427 and didn’t offer the car with things like a heater or a radio. A few non-racer buyers saw through it all and ordered the L88 in order to have a true weapons-grade stop-light drag racer. This car was one that never raced (at least on a track) and it’s a very rare convertible model. It could bring up to $750,000.
