2005 Atlantic City, NJ Corvette Event
  This was not a another stripped stolen Corvette. Kevin Mackay was invited by George Kerbeck to display his latest effort, this spectacular See Through 1969 L-88 coupe.  
  There were few fiberglass panels on this chassis and drive train. The tail and back up lamp panel was the only panel in the rear of this beauty. And it worked.  
  One clue to an original 435 HP, L-89 or L-88 are the mounting holes in the body that are used to mount the TI amplifier.  
  Besides being beautiful, this 1969 door is really an educational exhibit. Note the lock mechanism, lock rod, sliders, tracks and regulator. No mystery here.  
  If you look closely at this Corvette Repair car hauler you can read the vanity plate which says what else but REPAIR.  
  This view is from the passengers foot well looking toward the drivers side behind the dash. Note the center cluster, wiper motor and actuator.  
  The only fiber glass panel on the firewall is the plenum cover panel. That air dam on top of the radiator support is unique to the L-88. It's a blueprint correct Doc Rebuild part.  
  This coffee can style early 69 wiper door actuator is shown with a formed vacuum hose making a U turn towards the rear. Note the Red silicone L-88 only plug wires.  
  The only other fiberglass panel on the front end is the bonding strip on the head lamp support bar that bonds to the top surround.  
  The really spectacular feature of this L-88 is not that you can see the bird cage and innards in a static display, but rather that everything works just like it should.  
 

Kevin actually drove this beauty and that is dynamic. SEE IT RUN!
