1967 was a great year for the Corvette and Corvette fans as some serious engines were made available. One of the more rare high performance engines was the L71 435 horse engine equipped with option # L89 which added aluminum cylinder heads and removed roughly 70 pounds off of the front of the car. The next engine and the most radical is the L88. The L88 was a very expensive engine and GM wanted to deter the public from it and aimed sales towards actual race teams. This was a $947 dollar option and it was rated at 430 horsepower. 5 less horsepower than the L71 and an extra $510. There were only 16 L88 powered Corvettes produced 1967 and they kicked butt. They continued this engine option through 1969. The L68 400 horse engine as seen in this beautiful car, were much more street friendly and required much less maintenance that the big brothers like the L88 and the L71.
