Market commentary
An historic Corvette effort that saw one of the team cars win the GT class at Daytona in 1968. It's been on and off auction blocks in recent years starting at B-J WestWorld in 2015 where it was reported bid to $1.1 million. At Worldwide's Pacific Grove sale in 2017 it was reported bid to $600,000 and at Mecum Monterey in 2021 it was bid to $400,000. A tale of chasing market perceptions downward without ever quite catching up or tumbling to the realization that it is not an L88, but rather a more mundane Corvette built in Yenko's shop to L88 specs. Based on the history, the seller should have given the reported high bid here serious consideration if there was money in the marquee.
