    The L88 Vette was tested by CC mag. back in the day They ran the numbers and est the output somewhere in the 560hp range, stock. We already know factory Hemi's with solid cams will easily make over 500hp. It amazes me that both drivers got off the line so cleanly on those crap tires. Great ET's!

      BEWARE of buying original 426 Hemi's nowadays.........even if they've already been "rebuilt". Nearly all of those old Hemi's have been raced hard, beat on, and modified or doctored up countless times, in so many weird & desperate ways, you usually wind up buying a total lemon. I'm not even kidding. Mismatched caps off of another engine in the rotating assembly, and that's just scratching the surface. Don't believe it? Just ask Tony of Uncle Tony's Garage youtube channel. He's a total Mopar guy, and he built & raced nothing BUT Hemi's back in the day. He warns everyone: STEER CLEAR of the old Hemi's............you'll wind up with some weird shit that is UN-FIXABLE. Or you'll spend far more money TRYING to fix it, than it will ever be worth, and chances are, it STILL won't be right. The average guy today is much better off with a 440.

    If the L88 didn't have headers that were open, it was handicapped more than most people know. Large port heads would not be good with cast iron exhaust manifolds. Slicks were also allowed. Those two things would make a tremendous difference at a drag strip. Seems like they are always compared without them. I read an article years ago about Zora Duntov taking a '69 L88 to a drag strip with headers and slicks, and 100% stock and made one pass at 10.1.

    Same colour but with a centre console & you knew you were looking a rarity.

    Not surprised. Corvette L88 $6581.00 Coronet R/T HEMI $3698.00 Just remember boys and girls, the COPO Camaro and Chevelle cost the same $$$ as this Vette. Goes to show Chevy engines cost twice as much to keep up with the 428cj, 429scj, Boss 429 and all big block Mopars. What really surprises me is that only 283 Coronet 426 HEMI R/T's were sold. Does anyone know how many 1966-1967 HEMI Chargers were sold?

      They also made some '66 Coronets with the Hemi....not sure how many, but I'm guessing production figures were low.

      Who needs an overpriced Chevy when an inexpensive Ram Air 2 Firebird could beat the 428cj, 429scj, Boss 429 and all big block Mopars? I think the RA2 option was about $350 in 1968.

      It was probably a Holley 3 Barrel, not a 6 Barrel. They made 3 Barrels in 2 sizes, not exactly sure but i thinking one was around 900 cfm, and the other was around 1000 cfm, they were replaced with the Dominator Carburetors.
