1968 Chevrolet Corvette Coupe

1968 Corvette Coupe 427 Big Block Chevy L88 tribute (Original L36 O-ringed .030 short block converted to L88).

The Fountain of Youth!!! Just thinking about driving this beast makes my adrenaline start to kick in. This silver backed tribute L88 Hot Wheels beast will lay-it-down!!! Launching you forward, vertical, and sideways all at the same time, while you are in total control; Meanwhile the steel Beast begs for you to stomp the pedal further, driving the RPMs and straight cut gear M23 screaming louder, louder, louder! Your body feels as if it is about to explode from the rush of total control of this symphony of mechanical GM engineering (system setup, M23/super ten 4:11 gears). Let me tell you what it is like when you put the drag slicks setup on it and you take it to the track to make some paper, networking, pick up hot trim, lol, etc..
