Paint schemes like that were fairly common in the mid-70's, so it's a classic?

Fairly certain it isn't.
Couple things: Can't tell if it's radio delete interior wise, but it does appear to have a power antenna. Strike. Radiator Core Support appears to be the type to accept an AC Condenser. Also, the Water Pump Pulley is definitely the type to accept an extra belt for an AC compressor, not sure if there were two types of pulleys for cars with and without AC, but just sayin. So, probably another Strike. Obviously the fan shroud is removed, also the position of the fan in relationship to the radiator/core support is WAY out of whack and that thing probably runs hotter than Hell... Hard to tell from the shit pics, but I don't see a Brake Booster, and I think all L88's came with Power Brakes... I think some L88's came with heaters, but post '67 cars may have had them? At any rate, it has heater hoses. EDIT: Don't believe they had Heaters according to internet search. Strike. Lots of roach on that car, but just pointing out the things I immediately see... |

Another Strike...
Quick internet search indicates that L88 427's had 12:5:1 compression. The interior Data Plate on this particular car indicates 11:1, which would make it an L71 427... |
