Get ready for an auction like no other. Corvette Mike is proud to present one of the most iconic race-bred Corvettes ever built, the 1968 Le Mans Blue L88 Convertible once campaigned by James Garner’s American International Racing (AIR) team.

This isn’t just a Corvette, it’s a piece of motorsports and Hollywood history. One of just three factory-built L88 convertibles delivered in November 1967 for Garner’s team, this car was specially ordered through GM’s COPO system and features the revolutionary L88 engine with closed-chamber aluminum heads.

From the silver screen to the track, this car embodies the bold spirit of late-’60s American racing and performance. Stay tuned, this legendary Corvette will be hitting Bring a Trailer very soon!

Corvette Racing powered to a podium finish at the Monterey SportsCar Championship at WeatherTech Raceway Laguna Seca on May 11, 2025, thanks to a strong performance by Antonio Garcia and Alexander Sims in the No. 3 Corvette Z06 GT3.R.
