I thought there were 18 L89s built in '70, and those are understood to be L78 Chevelles?

I have documentation on two of these cars and have met and followed the restoration of one of these cars very closely. The car has been discussed quite frequently on Team Chevelle.

Two years ago a local 1970 Chevelle was pulled out of a long hybernation. It was believed to be an early LS6. (no engine)

A build sheet was found that very day verifying L89.

The production number of these cars has to be very low, yet at least a few have been found.

Big Blocks were build at the Tonawanda Plant, which is very close to the Canadian boarder. You would think that word of mouth, from the plants performance minded employees would have leaked out to at least some friends and family of the GM employeees and that we would have at least a few documented Canadian exemples, at the very least.

If any were produced they would be the exception which proves the rule. Kinda like the one and only X22 Copo Camaro or M40 1970 L78 Camaro.

Just my opinion.
