Whats the story on the L89? any factory paper?

Re: S. Sandlin's Former RS COPO
 

yes and verified by Jerry M.as original born with drivetrain if that means anything. Also well known by William on this site.

Many things could have happened to that paint, if its had more than one care taker since judging. If something happens to a car (storage, in and off trailers, etc), you never know if it was made to look like the original survivor state, and if that is the case, you made a big mistake if found later. I think running this car back through judging, would cover that base for me, for that kind of money.

It is a car that anyone would like to have, no doubt.

I agree and after seeing the photo that Chuck posted, I would say that the motor compartment has been restored. Still a neat car though.

Its a fantastic car whether the engine compartment was restored or not.

Re: S. Sandlin's Former RS COPO
 

I thought it was well bought when it sold, didn't Kevin S sell the car to SS?

I saw photos at one point the engine compartment and it was very very original, every photo I have seen has an original firewall and etc, what if anything is anyone sure of?

Re: S. Sandlin's Former RS COPO
 

what was the reasoning for changing the hood?

Re: S. Sandlin's Former RS COPO
 

I thought when I looked at it that the whole car had been clear coated at one point. I was told by another member that was the case. Paint was definitely to nice for original in my book. It's the nicest 69 I've ever looked at.

Re: S. Sandlin's Former RS COPO
 

I had known this Cool car since the early 80's . Such a great car. I might be mistaken but didn't someone shoot clear over the original paint?

Just read your post Don. Yep I thought so.

Re: S. Sandlin's Former RS COPO
 

That's what I was told. That lacquer clear was applied over the original paint.

Re: S. Sandlin's Former RS COPO
 

I remember it before it was fluffed. Still a great car. Back in the mid 80's I was working a a vette shop in North Jersey and recall the owner putting feelers out to sell at 35K
