1967 L89 Corvette Coupe at Mecum 2

Often called “The L88 for the street,” the L89 option enhanced the already potent L71 427/435 Tri-Power V8 with aluminum cylinder heads, shaving 75 pounds off the front end for improved handling. Unlike the race-focused L88, the L89 could be ordered with a radio and heater, making it a high-performance machine with street-friendly comforts. Much like its legendary counterpart, GM underrated the L89’s power output, though its true figure likely approached 500 hp, thanks to superior airflow.

 

Mike’s Marina Blue L89 Coupe is an exceptional piece of Corvette history. Assembled on the final day of 1967 Corvette production, it is one of only two L89s ever equipped with K19 smog equipment, a mandatory feature for California. This rare gem also boasts F41 suspension, an M21 4-speed manual transmission, N14 side-mounted exhaust, K66 transistor

Story from KSNV NBC Las Vegas — The College of Southern Nevada (CSN) has received a generous donation from Ken Goodrich, chairman of Goettl Air Conditioning & Plumbing. Goodrich donated a 1978 Chevrolet Corvette, which he recently acquired at the Barrett-Jackson auction in Las Vegas, to CSN’s Department of Applied Technologies.

This classic Corvette will serve as a hands-on restoration project for students, providing invaluable real-world experience. Upon completion, the restored vehicle will be sold at a future Barrett-Jackson auction, with the proceeds directly benefiting the college.

“I’ve always been a champion for the trades,” Goodrich stated, highlighting his commitment to supporting higher education and vocational training.

This donation not only fuels student learning but also reinforces the importance of skilled trades in today’s workforce.
