If variety is the spice of life, then the Chevrolet L89 Showcase is becoming very &quot;spicy&quot;.

Can you believe two L89 Convertibles together in the same place?

Here are a few sample pictures to wet your L89 appetite.

We can now add our first very real 1969 L89 Corvette Roadster to the mix! Tom Marcucci will be joining us from Michigan with his gorgeous example, and he will be vying for Triple Diamond certification.

Just keeps getting better...

When I told Ryan 10-12 cars in this display would be perfect, I think he thought I was nuts, (OK, I am; lol) but he agreed to take on the challenge... [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/beers.gif[/img]

My hat is off to Ryan along with PostSedan Dan, along with all of the owners who will be joining us.

I have enjoyed preparing this display very much, and have had enjoyed 100% support from you, Dan, and Vicki. Most of all I have enjoyed meeting/getting to know the owners of these great cars. (I call them SUPERCARS I don't care what the definition may be)

I have felt a little like a guy who gets to throw his first football at the superbowl, but my son Jamie provided some excellent advice from Star Wars. As per YODA:

Luke: All right, I'll give it a try.
Yoda: No. Try not. Do... or do not. There is no try.

Go stand in the end zone Bob!!!!!!!!!!!put your hands out!!!!!!!(This comment should read as humour as I don't know s### about football)

Ryan


PS: I have a couple more L89's in my sights..........and if you read my goals from DAY1 I want to have a rusty POS barn find L89 at MCACN........still nothing........come on guys need your help on this one!!!

Re: MCACN 2014 Chevrolet L89 Showcase
 

L89 #4. Rick Nelson (Musclecar Restoration and Design, Inc) is bringing an Autumn Gold 1970 Chevelle, L78/L89. The owner is Michael Rothberg. Thanks Michael and Rick!!

The summer 2014 edition of Chevelle Chevy's Mid-Sized Muscle has a great article by Chuck Hanson about this &quot;LIGHT-HEADED&quot; 1970 L89 Chevelle. The L89 option was selected in error, one of 18 produced. A nice mistake if you ask me.

Re: MCACN 2014 Chevrolet L89 Showcase
 

Thanks Ryan, just so no one is confused, we did not restore this car as it was restored by the previous owner Brian DeJongh and his friends. I only helped Brian with technical advice for several years while it was being restored and I am just helping my customer take care of the car while at the show.

Re: MCACN 2014 Chevrolet L89 Showcase
 

We have three spaces available.

One spot is very likely taken by a great car that I can't mention till registered.....Tease.

I still have no POS Barn Find L89.....please phone a friend for me and start the conversation....

Ryan

Re: MCACN 2014 Chevrolet L89 Showcase
 

I know of one and will make a call. Not sure he will bring it that far but will try.

Re: MCACN 2014 Chevrolet L89 Showcase
 

Congrats go out to Kenny Pasco and Frank Arone, along with the owner of the Garnet Red 1969 Chevelle SS L89 convertible that took top honors at the recent Hemmmings Muscle Machines show this past weekend.

Yep...you'll be seeing this one, previously shown at MCACN &quot;in progress&quot; in all its finished glory, November 22-23. And as if that isn't enough, we will also have another '69 Chevelle SS L89 convertible, (as seen in the previous post)which is joining us from The Styles Family Collection out of Florida.

Just a few spots left!!!

Ryan

Re: MCACN 2014 Chevrolet L89 Showcase
 

Some times we tend to get excited by the chrome or the paint or the numbers, or the rarity...........but I got one better than all that stuff...........

I have registered a Canadian........but not a 1969 model...........

My Dad is coming with me to MCACN 2014:-)

https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/pics...77-16434-1.jpg

We have a lot of fun and do some pretty serious renovation projects together:-)

https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/pics...77-16435-2.jpg

My Dad was concerned that he doesn't know all the codes or the production numbers, but I assured him there are thousands of guys just like him that filter through MCACN leaving with a huge smile and a little bit of recaptured youth to put a spring in their step that lasts till the following November.

When you stop by my display ask to show Ralph your favorite car at MCACN and share a few stories, he won't bore you with codes or production numbers but he might tell you about driving his Austin Healey home (Before kids) with a Christmas tree in it...

That's great Ryan! It will be just over a year since my dad passed (&amp; 3 since mom passed) that I'll be at MCACN. He was truly the reason I am a Mopar guy (although I thoroughly enjoy all brands). In his place I have invited a couple of &quot;older&quot; friends who both grew up around these cars and drag racing from its' roots. Hope they both can make it.

Look what I found today - I went to visit my friend Bob at his restoration shop today - Real Deal one of 390 produced - 1969 L89 Corvette awaiting restoration :-)

Cortez Silver, L89 - M22 - 411`s....all original drive train.

I don't think she`ll be ready for 2014 MCACN`s - but she will be nice when finished.
