I looked at this car twice when it was still in Canada. The last time I saw it, it was sitting beside the L78 that I bought in 1996. It sold for $4,200 US in 1997 and ended up in New Hampshire to the best of my knowledge.
It was an interesting piece and I think that I still have the GM Of Canada paperwork for this car.
I only had enough money for the L78 and it was running and driving with 31,000 miles in the odometer. (It now has 39,000 miles on it after 19 years of ownership)
The L89 was a total basket case with no engine or transmission.
In hindsight, I should have borrowed the money and bought both cars, but I had a wife who was only so tolerant.
She is now an ex-wife and my garage has grown a bit.
