I would still like to see the window sticker to this car. I see it has a sign in the trunk stating that its an L89 car,does that make it real?

Where's the paper.? just because Legendary restored it doesn't mean it's bulletproof authentic, Non original 3:50 gears, that ratio was not available production in 70 on a Nova. CBT 3:55 or CBS 3:31 (posi) closet factory ratio's, most popular in 70 BB Nova's

Supposedly a POP to back it up and enough other information to make it difficult to DIS-prove.

This subject, L89 Novas, has been discussed at length on this site. No one has yet to step forward with documentation to support this claim. It is the opinion of many, including myself, that none were produced.

A noted expert, who I trust, has viewed the paperwork as well as the car, and he says it is legit.

In addition, the car was on display (no ropes) and the owner nearby to answer questions at SCR10.

Not for sure what else can be done. IMO, the car is the first documented L-89 Nova.

How about posting a copy of the paperwork for all to see.

I guess without intentionally meaning to upset anyone, I need to ask "why does everyone have to see the paperwork to believe it?"

I talked with the owner, the restorer and an associate of the 'noted expert' Tom mentioned. Like I said above, there's enough documentation to eliminate most reasonable doubt. Did I see it with my own eyes? No. But I trust in the folks who have the knowledge to sort out these things. And since I have no horse in this race, why would I stir the issue?
It's a cool car. End of story (at least for me).

I hope it is legit. I would love to finally have an answer to the this issue. If its real, then at least one exists.

Just before leaving SCR 10 and talking to Charley about this car and the person who "Authenticated" it.......Chances are that it's 100% legit.....
