Yellow Canadian L89

[Hylton]

I believe the docs to be legit so I want to know how Charles can make that claim?

How can you say that when the GM docs posted on the first page say otherwise?

Everyone looks at the performance cars with great interest today. However it should be remembered that these cars were a very small part of the overall volume at a dealership. These were special cars that were handled by only one or two people when it came to picking specifications and ordering units. Even today there is clear understanding of what was ordered due to the relatively small number of cars involved. The L89 is not in the 'memory bank'.

that was my thought. just to be clear Im not discounting the yellow car.
say you knew someone in Canada who in 1969 who bought an L89 car and proceded to wreck/destroy/scrap it, it would be possible to use an old registration to get the vin, order the Canadian paperwork, order a repop vin tag and recreate a documented car. you knew the car was destroyed in 1969 or whenever so there wouldnt be a conflict with another car with the same vin.

If the car was not ordered through Belmont, then why is the dealer listed on the GM of Canada paperwork?

It is possible that the car was originally ordered through Belmont but sold somewhere else. I don't believe this car is something a dealer would order without having a buyer for it. Central Chev Olds would have done it but not these guys.

Or are you claiming the GM of Canada paperwork is fake, Charles?

There already seem to have been a lot more than 20 unanswered questions posted here.
The person who ordered the performance cars at Belmont Chev does not recognize this yellow L89 as being one of the cars that the dealer received.

Well if you are that person then thanks for the insight but it is still possible that the car was sold to another dealer before it even saw the Belmont lot. Could it be possible that the car was delivered and sold when you just happened to be on vacation? Again, I do not question the GM of Canada docs posted on the first page.
