Ironically, the second most valuable Vette doesn’t appear to be any different than the 1969 L88, which is worth about a third. Most people will never even see this car in person, and that is because a mere two were ever built. The ZL1 engine was roughly an all aluminum version of the iron L88. That being said the internal construction was quite different as the journals and web areas were all much beefier, for more bolting locations and the ability to handle increased power.
Additionally, this motor had the ability to accept a dry sump oiling system, an optional gear drive for the camshaft which was ground with a higher lift and different duration than the L88. So why didn’t more of the public choose this option? It added about $6,000 to the cost of their Corvette which was more than double that of the seemingly identical L-88.
