James Garner's L88

[Azul Duck]

I suspect I am late to the party, I did not know James Garner owned a '68 with the iconic L88:

"James Garner's Rare Factory-Built 1968 Chevrolet Corvette L88 For Sale"

The article is year old. I also was surprised it was a convertible with the flimsy hard top installed. At least the coupe had some reinforcement in the center of the T-Top, or so we were told. But don't you think a full roll cage was installed when raced?

Welcome to the CAC.

James Garner's American International Racing team actually campaigned 3 1968 L88s. All convertibles with the hardtop as they were lighter in weight and the extra strength of the T-top didn't matter once the full roll cage was installed. There is a lot online about the James Garner American International Racing Team. Here are all 3 cars together.

Those James Garner Corvettes came through Clippenger Chevrolet in Covina California. I had just ordered my 69 coupe from that dealer, when the race team. All American Racers, was just being formed
