67', L-89 value

[Robert C.]

I'm looking for L-89 sales in the last couple of years, or values of. Any body have a guess what they are worth today? Any current web sites showing these rare Corvette values? What about a regular, correct, 435 67' w/ alum heads added?

Robert,
The green/tan car that was ordered by Ed Cole sold for 205K at the Mecum Monterey auction. Proteam bought it and quickly flipped it for 250/275K. I thought that was a great buy at 205. I was at Bloomington and bid 200 on it but was run up to over 500K, so I was caught off guard when it sold two months later. I am sure that a convertible or coupe with a more desiable color combo will bring more $.

I don't know of many that have sold lately, Bob. The yellow/white one that was owned by one of our Texas members in the 80's is still around.

I believe that it sold about five years ago, but I don't remember the selling price. It was a coupe with sidepipes.

I would think that one of the original 16 with paperwork would bring near $300,000, original engine or not.

Tim, I seem to remember that the yellow coupe was sold in a package deal to Dana Mecum a few years ago which included the maroon survivor 435 and another 435? That car was sold for an undisclosed number but remember a real maroon L89 convertible selling for 375K at his BG auction.

Do you know what year Dana sold the Yellow coupe (375K)

Rich, the maroon car that sold for 375k was the former Otis Chandler car.
Robert, the yellow coupe was sold but the amount was kept quiet. I believe this took place in 2004 or 05.

The yellow coupe was advertised for quite a while in Hemmings in the early 90's. I believe it sold from the Texas owner to another owner for $125,000 or so in the early 90's. It may have even sold for less than that.

Yes , I agree with Tim 300k +/- is in the ball park for a L89,
The Green/saddle L89 coupe was a great price at 205k,
I don't know what the deal was when it was at BG for 500k no sale , then sold for 205k , The guy must of had to much money tied up with Maydoff ???
