OMG! The 959 with black wheels is pure sex!

About that Countach - they've been trying to sell this one for a couple of years. I guess nobody wants it...

This is a completely numbers matching, fully documented 1969 Corvette L88. The car has just 15,000 original miles, has never been wrecked, is one of only 116 built, has its original drivetrain, has its original tank sticker and is in total show condition having been the recipient of a total rotisserie restoration in 2006. These cars are on the rise in value with no end in sight This is the perfect car for the Corvette collectors that love true numbers matching, documented no stories rare Vette's.

This song and dance was created by Chevrolet back in 1967 when the L88 first saw the light of day. You see, the L88 was never intended to be driven down Main Street, USA. It idled like the throttle was stuck open and it had a stiff ride, but Chevrolet knew the L88 Corvette had these tendencies and did everything they could to make sure these cars made it into the right hands. The L88 was not listed among the available options, and even if you wanted one, it would easily remove an extra $1,000 from your wallet. Chevrolet even rated its horsepower level at 5 less than the 435 horsepower L71 427 to discourage buyers, thinking the L71 would be the hot ticket. Even so, they couldn't control the publicity the L88 would garner on the tracks of America. By 1969, the L88 was the "hot thing to have," according to (and much to the chagrin of) the legen-dary Zora Arkus-Duntov. Duntov knew that most of the people who purchased L88s were clueless about exactly what they were, and furthermore, didn't know how to take care of these beasts.

The let's-not-put-it-on-the-option-sheet game did keep production numbers down for the L88 Corvette, though. If you were lucky enough and rich enough to own one of these beasts, you had the world by the tail. You could show just about anything how good the back of a Corvette looks. The only competition to the L88 came in the form of A/C-bodied, 427-powered Cobras. One L88 owner reported never losing a single drag race to anything, including the formidable Cobra, and had recorded a best quarter-mile ET of 11.14 at 123 mph. If set up right (gears, sticky tires, headers and sidepipes), the L88 would annihilate anything in its path.

The Gullwing offered here is a four owner matching numbers car with fresh paint in its original color of black (completed in 2005). The car was delivered new to Dr. Denton S. Coe of New York and owned by him until 1970. It was then sold to Mr. John Church of Norwalk, Connecticut, who sold it to restaurant owner and opera singer Neil Zarerelli of North Carolina in 1971. Under this ownership of 35 years the car was kept garaged and in 2001 it was entrusted to Automotive International of Charlotte, North Carolina for necessary restoration work. In 2005 after years of work on the engine and other components the decision was made to re-paint the car in its original color, this sympathetic restoration totaled in excess of $75,000. Under the fourth ownership a major service was conducted by renowned 300SL specialist Hjeltness Restoration Inc. Currently in the DriverSource collection in Houston, Texas the car remains in excellent cosmetic and mechanical condition and has only 62,000 original miles. In 2008 DriverSource of Houston TX performed a major service which included renewing the suspension to original spec, removing old paint and repainting the underside of the chassis, installing new carpets, renewing original steering wheel, and repairing the fuel injection system. For the last year the car has been stored in The Vault at DriverSource of Houston, a climate controlled facility that includes regular maintenance and exercise of the car.

What's wrong with the Lambo's front winglet?

I love that car. The first Lamborghini was so classic and beautiful, something Lambo hasn't had for a long time in their cars. Sure the modern ones look crazy, but they're so flashy. This is just pure win.
