Why compete in a British racing series with a British car, when you could race a C3 Corvette instead? Well, that’s exactly the story behind this 1968 Chevrolet Corvette L89 race car.
One of only 624 examples built for 1968, the L89 is one of the most desirable packages on the C3, as it took the L71 V8 and upgraded it with aluminum heads.
This particular example, following its importation into England, would go on to grab multiple record wins and podium finishes in the British modified sports car series.
Find this 1968 Chevrolet Corvette L89 race car available from RM Sotheby’s as part of its upcoming The Guikas Collection auction, with an expected selling price of $85,000-$145,000.
