What he said!!

I don't know about anyone else, but this is the first L-89 300 hardtop I've ever seen.

I've never seen a 300D, sedan or hardtop with buckets. There's no good pictures of the front seats.
Dan (or ayobody else) have you ever seen buckets done up with 300 deluxe material and striping?

Probably because the 300 Deluxe models were never available from the factory with bucket seats.

Re: 1969 l89 chevelle ebay
 

That's what I thought too Bill. And it's probably true.

If you look at the Q and A on the e-bay add, somebody' asks about the seats, probably Dan!
Anyway, the seller replies that the front and back seats match. I looked through all the photos on the ad and on the photobucket link, and you can see a corner of the driver's bucket in one photo. The material's all torn up, but it looks like the correct material for a 300D car.(????)

Very neat car. Looks all correct to me. Missing correct carb, correct air cleaner, jack, distributor and who knows about the alternator? It calls for a 63 amp alt, as did my Malibu, but I have yet to find one anywhere. 61 amps all day long, but what the heck, an 837 instead, not bad. Should be a relatively easy resto, I'm sure spectacular when done. One of one I'd guess.

Congrats.

Correction. I did forget a few things (wheels, smog, exhaust manifolds), but great car none the less!!! Phil Woj

On closer inspection I see that it does have a bench seat. Yeah I know, it's time to admit that I need glasses!

This one:

ok, $85k BIN

I don't see the $500,000 bid he was talking about though ... ?

&quot;Reason For Relist
A Bidder retracted bid mistake of $500,000.00 which created a retraction of over half the bids. Highest Bidder above reserve or does Buy it Now owns the Car and wins Auction Thanks for understanding&quot;

all the bids were <span style="font-weight: bold">cancelled</span> except the ONE:

Bidder 2***n <span style="font-weight: bold">Retracted</span>: US $50,000.00
Explanation: Entered wrong amount

????? on the sales process on this one

cool car nonetheless

I still have vivid memories of a burnished brown post 300 sedan that used to frequent The Rustic Pub on Grand River Road East of Orchard lake Road in Farmington Michigan in the early 70's ... every time I saw it there it was parked by the front door ... (the lot was dirt back then)

I have always thought the 300 versions were cool
