30 Most Expensive Muscle Cars That Made Collectors Rich Overnight

18. Chevrolet Corvette L88 – 825,000

This L88 Corvette is the later C3 model introduced in 1969. It used the same mechanics and drive train components, including a powerful 427 V8 engine, as the first L88 released two years prior (via Mecum).

So why is the 1969 model much less expensive than the 1967 version? Simply because Chevrolet made 116 of those for 1969, which was much more than it did two years earlier.
