SBX Cars is selling an ultra-rare 1969 Corvette L88 convertible, an American performance icon any collector dreams of

SBX Cars is selling an American automotive icon from Chevrolet in the form of an ultra-rare 1969 Corvette L88 convertible sports car.

Chevrolet built some spectacular versions of the ‘Vette over the years, and this is one of them, as one of the very few factory-built Corvettes of its era with the L88 engine.

Making it even more special is that it is race-oriented, with the car fully built for performance.

At the time of writing, the auction ends in 12 days, and we expect this particular ‘Vette to attract a lot of attention.

What makes this 1969 Corvette L88 so special?

This 1969 Chevrolet Corvette L88 convertible is a real rarity and has just 19,886 miles on the odometer.

The sports car is finished in a stunning LeMans Blue, with a Standard Black vinyl interior.

Adding to its value is the fact that this race-ready car is unrestored and in its original condition.

The Corvette L88 was built for performance and engineered for the track.

Zora Arkus-Duntov was the man behind the car, and he worked hard to turn it into a true racer.

Very few cars at the time were fitted with the L88 V8 engine, the 427ci L88 Turbo-Jet big-block V8.

Rated at 430hp, it gave the car all the power it needed to tear up the racetrack.

This Corvette is a truly rare collector’s item

This is an incredible piece of machinery, and one that is incredibly rare as well.

Only 116 L88 cars were produced at the time, and even fewer remain in 2025.

And not all of them can claim to be unrestored survivors like this one as well.

Adding to its value is that it comes with full authentication and supporting documentation.

With the focus on performance, features such as air conditioning, power steering, and a radio were omitted.

Saving weight was crucial to maximizing the car’s performance.

This Corvette has turned heads for decades.

A letter from the National Corvette Restorers Society (NCRS) shows it has received a Top Flight Award, too.

This is a collector’s dream, and one lucky person will walk away with a piece of American automotive excellence.
