10 Most Valuable Corvettes

1969 L88 – $478,000

1969 marks the year that the Chevy small block increased in size from 327 cubic inches, to 350, or 5.7-liters. These cars featured 8-inch wide wheels, though tires remained the same. Positraction was an option for the Corvette at this time, though more than 95-percent of all cars would receive it from the factory. Badges were affixed to the front fenders, and it was changed to “Stingray” from the C2 “Sting Ray” nameplate.

However, the L88 was a different animal. These cars came equipped with a 427 cubic inch engine, a L88 competition hood, heavy-duty M22 four-speed transmission, and even special brakes, suspension, and an ignition system. The L88 was a full package, and the previous options had to be ordered to make your car a true L88.
