Default Re: L89 Chevelle

Definately a Real L-89 convertible, the claim 1 of 3 is wrong because I have had 2 and know where 2 are all real converts at this time. I have all of the as found Fossil pictures that where taken and presented to the experts at the time. They were viewed by Jeff Dotter, Mark Meekins, Roger Ausley,to name a few and several of them viewed it in person. PM me or call me I have all of the details. I did not know that the same owner of this who bought this in 2005 owns the supposed L89 Nova. This one and the red one Deffinately have original 842 Aluminum heads !!!!!!!!

Jim

Larry Bowman's car. I thought he bought it at a Mecum sale, and later ran it through another Mecum (or RM?) sale where it did not sell.

Hi, Jim, that's cool it's an original DE car cuz it's a small state, after all.

I did email the owner asking about the claims of "1 of 3" since I am a numbers guy and know better. While the owner explained what some "experts" claim, he also was reasonable about it rather than trying to puff it up for the sake of the auction.

BTW, my car was originally sold at Kent County Motors in Dover, and of course there's the famous Union Park Super Duty Tempests . . .
