Tony DeLorenzo's 1967-68 SCCA race car, second to Dick Smith's Cobra 427 in the 1967 Runoffs. Numbers-matching throughout, Bloomington Gold and NCRS Top Flight after an earlier restoration. Twice restored since 2002, once to as-raced condition for the 2003 Monterey Historics where it was driven by DeLorenzo and again in 2006 to its current as-delivered street configuration. Beyond perfect in all respects, one of 14 '67 L88s believed to survive. Offered by RM in Arizona in 2007 where it no-saled at a reported bid of $1,550,000 and a $1.75-2.0 million estimate. By that standard this is a real value, which it is, for the most desirable of all production Corvettes. Restored like new, its racing history is diminished by its showroom presentation, as is its usability in the historic racing events where it would be a star in its DeLorenzo livery. It's a quandary ... but vinyl numbers and a rollbar are easy fixes.
