Racing Legends, The Story of the L-88 Option Package -
Corvette Racing Legends is a high quality hardbound book that
illustrates the journey that the Chevrolet Corvette took to
become a world class sports car. The L-88 option package for
the Corvette was the result of years of developmental work
which resulted in a factory racing option package that could
be ordered from Chevrolet in a brand new Corvette. The L-88
option was only available for three brief model years from
1967 through 1969. The L-88 Corvette was so potent, that it
could not only allow the new owner or driver to win a race
in local competition, but it also could propel a properly
prepared Corvette to stunning finishing positions in world
class International races, such as the 12 Hours of Sebring
and the 24 Hours of Daytona. These racing victories with the
L-88 option package, made the Corvette an overnight hit. The
L-88 nomenclature became synonymous with Corvettes and with
champions. Although only 216 L-88 Corvettes rolled of the
St. Louis Corvette Plant assembly line during these three
model years, several of them were driven directly from the
factory to garages for immediate race preparations. Most of
the race prepared L-88 Corvettes that raced on tracks in the
United States and Europe are featured in this book, and so
are the predecessors that led up to the creation of the L-88
factory racing option. These are the Corvettes that started
the legend. If you are a Corvette owner or enthusiast, this
book is a must for your personal collection. Most of the photographs
containg in Corvette Racing Legends have never been published
before, which will give even the seasoned aficionado a new
and refreshing perspective of these historic racing Corvettes.
It contains 424 pages and over 500 detailed photographs
for your viewing pleasure. Corvette Racing Legends features
all the major drivers and their Corvettes. Names such as DeLorenzo,
Thompson, Yenko, Guldstrand, and more are all featured.
