Another L89 nova with doc's

[wheelhop]

Well Mark, tell us your story!

Well, this car belonged to a fellow I used to work with about 5 years ago. He had noticed my hot rods in the parking lot when I would drive them into work and mentioned that he once owned a "musclecar" new. He told me all about this car and mentioned that he even still had the window sticker and pictures of the day he bought it home. Sure.....I was very doubtful (especially the aluminum heads part) but I was in shock when he actually brought this stuff to work a few days later. I held that yellowed window sticker in my hand and read that "L89" clear as anything. I handed the pictures and W.S. back to him and a few days later he brought the pictures back to me and said that I could have them. I then asked about the sticker and he told me that I could even have that......next time he came across it. Well, unfortunately he never brought it back and I just had a very bad feeling that something happened to it. Trust me, I asked at least once a week about it for two years probably but it just never came back. It's a downer, but it is what is. At least I was fortunate enough to at least see it once. Sure.....some can call bullshit but I have nothing to gain by lying about it and enough people know me on here by now to know that I know what I'm talking about. Anyway, another interesting side note is that this is the ONLY "Musclecar" that Bill ever owned in his life and his brother had a '69 Z/28 that he purchased new. Bill told me that every time they raced, the '69 Z/28 would win because of his brother's better driving ability. I'd love to know the actual production #'s of these cars and I used to tell him that that he really did have a very special car that people still debate about if it was even actually produced!

Where did it go ?

[markjohnson]

Was sold in the early-Seventies and never seen again. The plant closed down about three years ago and we all got different jobs and parted ways so I haven't seen him since then. I'm pretty sure I have his phone number and I'm gonna give him a shout and see if he's found the sticker or anything else. I may even ask him if he has any finance papers or an insurance card with the VIN # and maybe the car could be tracked down. With some of the amazing "discoveries" I see on this site lately, who knows.....maybe it's still out there!

I found the old thread from last year.

By seeing it in person Mark you put some questions to rest about if they existed or not. I never saw one but most guys never really new about an L89 anything back then. I think the only one I ever saw was the Stahl Chevrolet black nova from Jersey.

This is a nice tribute car, but that is all.

Got anything concrete to prove that car was a factory built L-89? Neat pictures, but nothing there to prove there was ever a L-89 Nova built.

Howie may be right, no L-89 Novas built.

Well actually there was a couple photos that I didn't send out, but to frank, I've had it with this whole L-89 Nova subject. In a court of law, my word would be enough on the stand, but people here still have doubts. Just because they have never seen one, they doubt their existence. Many feel the same way about God but still built churches. I have already seen this window sticker, I had my doubts 'til I seen it and I had my proof. I really don't need to see it again and to be honest, I don't want to harass the man anymore. Especially for people that will STILL come up with a counter-arguement. I thought that (black?)car at the 2008 SCR had bulletproof docs.
