Default Re: Yellow Canadian L89

Phil,
Yes the L89 looks amazing but as you well know not all cars are as they appear, especially some of the Canadian cars. The Canadian import sheets are great documentation and also incentives to save otherwise unsalvageabe cars.
With the right knowledge one can make a lost ownership claim In Canada for vehicles that don't exist in the record databases, such as the 5 ZL1s registered last year. Canadian paperwork is great but lets not forget its only a record of what came in to Canada many years ago. With the ability to get vin plates, trim tags, etc. sometimes all you may have in a rare car that is real is the paperwork!
In regards to the L89 in question I would like to see the vin tag, firewall stamp and the sheetmetal dates, it is original sheetmetal as described? Of course the original owner would solve all these issues. Unfortunately there is no record of him as of yet.
As usual, buyer beware without all the facts
