The Quail Postwar Sports Car Class (1961–1975)
We are thrilled to have showcased an extraordinary piece of automotive history at The Quail this year: a 1967 Chevrolet Corvette Stingray L89. This Corvette is not just rare; it’s one of the rarest C2 Stingrays ever produced. Out of the few Corvettes built with the coveted RPO L89 option—featuring aluminum cylinder heads on the L71 427 cu-in V-8—only 16 were ever made.
With a conservative rating of 435 horsepower, this L89 Stingray represents the pinnacle of performance for its era. What makes this particular car even more special is its California specification, reportedly one of only two L89 Corvettes equipped with factory smog equipment.
