1968 Chevrolet Corvette L88 427 Coupe Muscle Car Of The Week Video Episode #117

This 1968 Chevrolet Corvette is one of the 80 built in '68 featuring the legendary RPO L88 427 V8. This is as close to a full-race Corvette as you could buy in '68, with heavy-duty suspension & brakes, and a lack of creature comforts like a radio or heater. From the Brothers Collection.

I had a 68 I bought when I was 19 now I'm 65 what an amazing time to be young. Love these videos Kevin is the perfect guy to do them!

Still have my 1969 L-71 3x2 Holley 427/435. Bought it in 1970 and the car has been simply awesome to own and drive. IMHO these are still the most "fun" cars on the market. They certainly aren't high tech but when it comes to pure driving enjoyment, they are hard to beat.

I found this channel three days ago and I have watched 30 videos so far. I have no life, so I should be all caught up by Sunday.

My uncle worked for GM in Michigan and used to drive new cars up here to see us in Sudbury. One time he showed up with an amazing 70s Corvette and took me for a spin. I was 16 years old and was blown away by what it could do. I can't imagine that 427 version! I'm sure it could get up over 170mph. Great Video!

The absolutely perfect Corvette, right down to the gorgeous blue and the red line tires.

Heard about his car when I owned my first 1978, but never saw one until now. Thanks for sharing :)

I bought my 71 corvette, back in 1982 . Still working on it . I’ll be putting a small block 427 engine soon . Can’t wait to start enjoying it again . I also have to mention that, before I bought my 71, I had a change to buy a 1960 corvette, fuel injection... I wish that I would have bought that one instead . Still happy with my 71 !!!!

Thank you for sharing this beauty with us! 👍👍👍

Nice video. I remember a kid in my HS used to brag on his Dad's 67 Vette L-88.
When i got him to show me i saw the Tri-power iron head 427. Asked him who said it was an L-88. He said his Dad and i just let it go, nice car. Couldn't call his Dad a mis-informed..😉

Zora Duntov the engineer that produced the first corvette back in 1953 and remained with GM until he retired in 1967. He was very upset with the new 68 corvette and said all true sportscars have mechanical gages. The 68 came with a really stupid vacuum tank that operated the pop-up headlights and wiper cowl. The rubber hoses that snake their way through the 68 body would get hard and crack after time which caused a lot of vacuum problems for those who couldn't figure out why the cars headlight would not open, or wiper cowl stuck. I have owned five corvettes in my life and bought a new 1970 454 big block that ran the quarter mile in the high 12's back in the day. I got rid of that car and returned to the C2 corvettes 63/67. I have been certified in corvette restoration by Bloomington Gold Corvettes since 1985. Today at 78 years of age I have a 63 roadster with an early LS1 engine. Just my two cents worth about the 1968 corvette.

[rickyaeger]

Outstanding
Phenomenal
Awesome
I could go on . Always wanted the L88 '68 .
That 427 was just Tits 😊!!
I had a '68 convertible with the 327 and that was plenty fast ! It was a bit "rare" itself with factory a/c and a 3-speed Saginaw manual transmission. I could do 60-65 in first, 110 in second and by the time I hit third, I was gone . I got I up to 150 once out on highway 41

[kevinanderson]

A friend of mine bought one in the early 70's for $2800!!!! The guy he bought it from, sold it because it didn't have A/C. I KNOW he wishes he kept it!!!

[patkaczmarek]

Best looking Vette of all the generations imo. They can keep the C8+.
