-------I probably should rephrase my statement. I bought the car from the original owner. It was, of course a real L89. I sold it in a weak moment to Bill Lippay(SP) for Joe Hrudka who was doing a substantial amount of work for Joe at that time. I had no idea then (circa 1975) that the car was as rare as it is. Bill L and I talked several years later and he related to me that they had done some amount of research on the car and found it to be the only 1969 L89 El Camino built. If any of you know Bill, hes not a guy to stretch the truth,,,,,,,,ever! I have taken his word on this for years, but as so often happens with these GM cars one can be proven wrong.
-------Thinking back now, he didnt say it was, in particular, the L89 alone. He possibly could have meant L89 with an M22.
------- No matter what it was and is as far as production numbers, its the most unusual of all the Chevelles I have had. Should never have let it go!
-------Hope this is a better way of rephrasing my statement............Bill S
