Is this L88 the same one raced by John Greenwood?
It has his paint job.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Zr5vD1Rgqz0

1969 BFG #49 ZL-1 Corvette...This 1969 Corvette race car was one of 3 team cars sponsored by BF Goodrich during 1971-73 to showcase their new line of T/A Radials. The #49 competed in the trifecta of sports car racing. 12 Hours of Sebring, 24 Hours of Daytona, and the 24 Hours of LeMans. The 3 team cars #48, #49, and #50 were owned and campaigned by John Greenwood, who was inducted into the Sebring Raceway Hall of Fame in 2002. The #49 was driven by top road course drivers of the period including John Greendyke, John Greenwood, Robert R. Johnson, Dick Smothers, and Don Yenko. The car's first major win was 1st place in GT in 1972 at Watkins Glen 6 Hr driven by Greenwood and Smothers. In 1973 it was campaigned at 12 Hr of Sebring, Daytona 24 Hr. and at 24 Hr of LeMans. At LeMans, the car set the GT speed record of 215 MPH on the Mulsanne Straight in qualifying.
