Default Re: L89 Chevelle

Isn't this the same Dusk blue 1969 L-89 chevelle convt. we saw go across the block at Dana's spring classic auction @ Boone co. fairgrounds here in 2005-6?
I remember that one was nice,but not varified to have the born with engine & had the engine compt. graffiti all over it & sat way too high.The seller at the time was younger guy from Iowa he said,and wanted 300+K in the staging lane he told us that friday afternoon.Once it hit 250K on the block,he dropped his reserve and it sold for near 280K.It was the same year/auction that RedAlert & the 26 mile survivor 1970 Chevelle were there,under the tents at spring Belvedere when it downpoured for awhile.

Isn't this it again?...Lot#S129 sold for $160K @ May 2009 Mecum..VIN #136679B317045

It is a beautiful car. Lots of eye appeal. It appears to ride high in the air, but, maybe that's just the camera.

Gorgeous car, but for 300k, and all the paint daubs, wouldn't they detail the shocks?

I talked with the owner when this car was at Mecum in `05-06.
He was the very same guy that has the "1 of 1" L89 Nova now. What's his name..........Dave Frendl or something along those lines?

I believe this is the same chevelle that was restored by Thorton Body Works (the Oldsmobile guys) around the corner from me in Telford, Pa. Saw it several times in their shop. Also down Atlantic City auction a few years ago like another member stated. Very nicely done! Not sure who owns it now though.

Thats my old car I bought it from the original owner in 93. Sold new at Porter Chevrolet Newark De. I sold it in 2000 to Mike Byrnes in Chalfonte Pa. The display board details all of the owners history. This L-89 Convertible led me to the Red L-89 that I wound up finally getting in 2004
