This is the first time we publish a Corvette C3 and that’s because of a good reason: this is one of the 80 Corvette L88 produced in 1968 and one of the 216 ever produced between 1967 and 1969. The story about this model is quite odd: basically Chevrolet never promoted this car and somehow… Read More 10 seconds club: 1968 Chevrolet Corvette L88
Machines like this one are not much popular in Europe nor among the young classic cars enthusiasts but they’re actually a very important chapter of the american post war automotive history.
