1967 Chevrolet Corvette Coupe in Silver & L88 427 Engine Sound on My Car Story with Lou Costabile 

Im getting emotional look at this gorgeous work of art. To me, by far the sexiest automobile ever build! I'm drooling right now

Dream Car. Legendary. 67 Beatles gave us Pepper. Chevy gives us 67 Corvette 427 L88.

This is the Corvette to have! What a beautiful car! The power, the looks, the sound! And so rare! Impossible to ever own one even if rich, The next best bet would be a 427/435, but those are rare too. To own/drive a 67 convertible with the top down, 427/435, ralley wheels, redlines, side pipes, any color, what a dream.

I found that car in the Boston Sunday Globe classic car advertisements back in 1989. I told my dad about it and we went to look at it. He bought the car and did the title search. He found Mr.Wiggins, interviewed him and determined that the car probably was a L88 based on the info provided. My father sold the car in the early 90's. I hope you're enjoying it Lou.

Wow! As a freshman in high school I took with me everyday a Corvette Magazine with the L88 67 coupe in it. This is like one of the ultimate Corvettes. The 69 ZL1 would be tops. But I love the L88 cars. This is my dream car. 67 would be tops as like the owner said they only made 20 of them that first year.

What a lucky guy!!!!!! He owns more than one of these drop dead sexy gorgeous C2's!!!!!!

Simply beautiful thanks the video.

The ultimate car imo.

Though I'm a small block, 327 guy, awesome, awesome car!!! The 67' Corvette Coupe is my fav, especially in silver on black... Not to detract from this being such a rare L88... Thanks much, Moses...

Beautiful corvette Lou! The L-88 corvettes are rare and very desirable. A collectible investment.

67 L88 Option was $947.90 just for the Engine. You were also required to have additional Options such as J56 Heavy Duty Brakes which @ $342.30 was more expensive than 3 Engine Options by itself. The L79 SB and L36 & L68 427BB's were all cheaper than the HD Brakes. F41 Suspension,G81 positraction,K66 tansistorized ignition,C48 Heater/Defroster Delete (-$97.85) were all manditory for the L88 Option. All L88's in 67 had M22 Muncie (Rockcrusher) Close-Ratio 4 speed Trannys @ $237.90'The Winters Foundry #3904392 Aluminum Heads were identical to their #3904391 Cast Iron Counterparts(L71) being Closed Chamber with 2.190 int - 1.720 exh - Rectangular Intake ports/Square Exhaust ports. These heads were also used on the 16 built L89 Optional 427 Engines which used the L71 427/435hp minus the Cast Iron heads. The 392 heads were only used in 67; they were superceded by #3919842 used in 68 L88/89 production and up til June 69 L88 production. The port configuration was the same as the 392 heads but were fitted with 1.840" Exh Valves. The Casting itself was superior to the 392 head which suffered more porosity than any later Winters Foundry Aluminum head. All the Aluminum Heads were 356-T6 Aluminum Alloy but the 842 and later heads were heat treated different than the 392 castings and were superior quality. There were a Total of 22,940 Vettes built for 67 production. Convertibles out selling Coupes by 5,932 Units (14,436 vs 8,504)...... 67C2 Corvette is considered by many Vette Experts to have the best Fit/Finish of the C2 Midyears (63-67) Ironic that the Rarer L89 Vette with only 16 being built verses the 20 L88's will fetch 6 figures at Auction verses 7 figures for a Real Bonafided L88. Phil's Car could bring close to what the highest 67 L88 went for @ Barrett Jackson some years back (3.5 Million)

I love Italians that own L-88's you and Tom Marcucci who owns a 69 L-88 are my fav. vette guys!!!

Around 1965 I was a kid and was walking home from the local park in the summer when I saw a new Corvette at the Heat Oil company parking spot near the street . It was yellow with black inside and I remembered a wood trim steering wheel and black vinyl roof. No other car look like it and had those hidden head light as part of the body that flipped over 180 degrees . Other kids noticed it and stopped to stare at it as I did. The speedo went to 160 which was unheard of for a steer car in my area and the Radio was vertical on the console section coming down from the 2 inner cowls that were like the 61-63 T-bird design as a 2-seater in the front . Those small bumpers were about enough chrome to accent the fiberglass body that didn't have seams like metal car that use trim to hide spot welds . I still have 2 lung and 2 kidneys where I may own a mid 60's restore vette or 57 T-bird on day from a Bucket List .

1967 Corvette is a sweet beauty. Thanks LOU for sharing this beautiful Corvette. I like the video so much. Please have a great weekend and appreciate your hard efforts showing all nice varieties of legend cars. 1967 Corvette is a sweet beauty of the good old days of the sixties. It reminds me with Woodstock great music. Thanks LOU for sharing this beautiful Corvette. I really enjoyed watching the video. LOU this video is one of my favorites. Please have a lovely weekend. Kind Regards HISHAM ELFIKI

Wow 😳 Beautiful

Such a beautiful car. 7:35 sounds sooo good!

That's my favorite car

Nothing can compare Chevy broke the mold on this car.How can anyone give this a thumbs down.

What a beauty Lou! Always start an L88 Vette with the hood up, like Lou did. Notice the octane warning sticker on the console? These sold new with a $97.85 credit for heater delete.

The ultimate car. Great job. I could say what a pair of Lous(ers) you are, but since you are both nice guys, I won't say it.

2023 = 4 million dollar car this is the top dog - L88 - silver

Quicksilver coolness, looks speedy! Very unique. Love the redlines on it, looks perfect together with silver!! Really love the signature... authentic is perfect! I enjoyed the vid and the story, thank you!

Fully watched and liked.

Fantastic! This car is definitely a head turner & a knuckle dragger all day long!

Wow! Great car & sounds incredible!

OMG - THE SOUND! My old man had a '67 427 that had the L88 head kit added on (not from factory) - regrets selling it to this day. Says he only sold it when insurance companies moved from basing premiums on the cars themselves and incorporated HP - it just got too expensive. What a shame...

My favorite Corvette of all time. The coupe is so much better looking than the roadster too in my opinion.

Very nice Coupe and love that power plant Lou, Ed. :)

So cool!

Nice job Phil.

A "real" car, no radio/heater delete!

Never was a big Corvette fan, but the 67 L88 is pretty much the holy Grail of Corvettes in my opinion....or the 69 ZL1. I think they only ever built three 69 ZL1s

With all that frigging crashing and banging, I STILL DON'T KNOW why only 20 were built!!! Ggrrrr.

Nice :)

C2 coupes are simply sculpture, very few sexier cars were ever built and none of them combine that elegance with powerful looks like a Sting Ray.

With the latest corvette release nice to see one of the older ones also check shmees video on maybe the last and grestest front engine vette GM really nailed it

Very nice 50 years old Corvette (it became a vintage this year!!!) The engine sounds throaty, I don't complain... sounds neat, John. (Lou is the best person to watch for the car enthusiasts!!!)

Wow I was the 88th like on the video. Beautiful car .

Fantastic looking cars up to '67 Lou....love those Corvettes! Have you done any '57-59 DeSoto yet?

Hey Lou. Awesome looking Corvette! Is this the last year of this generation Corvette? :)

The 1 of 1 rally red 67 L88 Vette sold for 3.5 million at auction.

When I was the used car manager for a Chevrolet dealership...I saw the twin to this car at the car auction..the year was 1975... same everything..radio delete.. no miles...It took $14.000 thousand to buy... I passed on buying it for the dealership..hard to sell and more than window sticker which was still on the car...may be the same one......

Man if i could only go back in time, i would only be nine so i still could not buy one.

Not a Chevy guy really but how do 5 people not like this car? Must be Prius owners

7:20

One detraction that would cost him points in a show is the overspray of the valve cover paint onto the headers (and some on that big block) that exists. That could be remedied by removing the headers and sandblasting them. I don't know about the orange paint on the block, however. No big deal in any case. Only important in a show. Could/will cost him points, and I'm not even a judge, just a purist. Sorry, I calls 'em like I sees 'em.

I'll take the L88 C3.

L88

Whats that a four million dollar car?

Wow, I have this car in my garage...same colors. Funny. Mine's faster, still have the headers and side pipes from when I raced it in the 80's on it. 4:11's are admittedly not in the car though. I have a 3:55 in it an it SUCKS, makes the car bad at everything. And my patina is original.

Sounds more like a mechanic or metal shop with all of the beating and banging going on. I thought I was watching a video of a car show. Folks when you take your car to a show it's supposed to be ready to "show" don't work on it after you get there.

WHATS IT GOING TAKE TO FIX YOUR DAMN AUDIOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
