Default Re: 69 Corvette L-88 sells for $610,000

According to the description below, I guess you could have bought all 116 / L88 units back then for the price that this 'one' just brought...so what were these things brand new.

This 1969 Chevrolet Corvette convertible, one of just 116 L88-equipped Corvettes built that year, is a multiple award-winner of the highest caliber. The car retains its original 427/430 HP L88 engine and 4-speed transmission, and its Daytona Yellow finish is complemented with a Black interior and Black vinyl auxiliary hardtop. Documented with the original Protect-O-Plate and showing a mere 20,000 original miles, this rare example of Chevrolet’s world-beating powerhouse Corvette earned Bloomington Gold certification in 2005, was inducted into the Bloomington Gold Special Collection, Bloomington Gold Corvette Hall of Fame and a NCRS Top Flight award in 2009.
