Re: Yellow Canadian L89
-------So you are saying the Canadian paperwork is also suspect??? Could this be an example of a damaged or lost trim tag???.......Bill S

Re: Yellow Canadian L89
Kind of like the HO 69 Yenko mentioned in another thread?

Re: Yellow Canadian L89
The best way to find out about a car is to track it's history. The car is owned by Richard English (RARE Z/28) of Camaro Heaven. He had purchased the car from Matt Langford (d_n_m69). I believe it was Matt who restored the car. Matt, who did you buy the car from and what happened to the original trim tag?

I am guessing that the car is not an original L-89 or a 396 car for that matter [/ QUOTE ] Just because the trim tag was changed doesnt mean the canada papers are not legit. The trim tag is meaningless to documenting the car as an L89 anyway. If the trim tag was missing it would still be fine if the canada papers are legit. Im sure any potential buyers will check vins and pay the 40.00 to GM canada.

Not saying this car is a rebody but finding out where the car originally came from would help authenticate this car.

Re: Yellow Canadian L89
Obvious repop tag, I will refrain from calling it a fake, they way overdid the sealant on the rivets, but atleast they used some.

Re: Yellow Canadian L89
I do not own the L89 for sale! I do however have a fully documented original body, original engine Copo for sale. I would like for anyone interested to personally come and see my car. I have every stich of documentation and paperwork from previous owners. In addition to that I have the entire restoration very well photographed from start to finish. I find it very interesting that the people questioning the authenticity of things neither own a rare car and in most cases have never actually built a car of any description! Just an observation! I would gladly pay Mr.Jerry M's fee to document my car should someone be serious about purchasing. If there are any other questions about my cars or the quality of restoration please refer to the previous thread about my car when it was for sale last year. That should clear up any questions about its authenticity.
