1969 Camaro L89 with JL8 option at Kissimmee

Hi Lynn,
Agsin basically, I have no comments on the car except the interesting history "a " local restorer (I mislead as "the" local restorer) shared in a local story to me about his chasing Kenny Wright for 3 of his front yard cars. That was his expereince that I found interesting & chose to share on the forum. As I'm far from an expert I would not know a fake invoice from a real protecto plate, excpet that I have car buddies who might & OK fine. I saw the restored car at "a" local restorer's shop & heard a cool local story about the alleged original owner. For what's it's worth, the post sparked plenty of member participation particularly yours......Mahalo from Maui (for the week & the surf is going off)

Thanks for the response. Good to know it is just a story you heard from someone else. Guys that fake these cars tend to put together elaborate stories that are difficult to check out.

Have fun in Maui.

Look for it to show up on a &quot;real deal&quot; Z/28 one of these days.

Not sure who posted this one, but it was probably for sale on ebay or craigslist at one time. I know the guys at CRG are keeping a database of fake and loose trim tags. </div></div>

Here's one of my cars:

I didnt stay that long but someone sure got the shaft there. It was a pretty car but I didnt like the block stamps at all. I think most people that have looked for the VIN by the filter would have been suspicious. I saw some cars that the buyers must never have looked over before they bid. Unreal. A buddy and I spent 3 hours under a car last night and this morning that didnt sell and still not sure what to think of it! Narrowed down what is not correct on it anyway.

I've stated before I don't think the car is real.
Docs are fake. Tag is fake. Drivetrain looks restamped.
Thanks Bill for the pics!

This is a sad day for this hobby. As a nice clone car it does, of course, have some value. Maybe $60k or there about. Didn't a nice clone ZL1 recently bring around $50k? It would be a lot harder to come up with a complete ZL1 motor than to put a fake L89 together.

If someone were selling forged Renoir as an &quot;original&quot; Renoir, he would likely be prosecuted.
