Do you remember if the 67 L89 was a coupe or conv? Colors? The black/white one that Car & Driver tested in their May 67 issue (article written in Feb) has never surfaced.

----The 67 was black outside and I'm not sure on the gut. It was either red or black. To be clear I was only told about this car by a reliable guy who has since passed on. I never actually saw it. I was told that the reason for the low miles was that the original owner financed the cars and decided that he wouldn't drive them till the loans were paid off. By that time he felt that they were collectors items and couldn't bring himself to drive them. There were two other super low mileage cars involved. 1st was a 66 Satellite Hemi and 2nd was a 70 Hemi Challenger. Neither had more than 3000 miles. We snagged those two as well at Classic Motors, but the Challenger was sold out from under me before I could pick it up..….Bill S

What a car THAT would be to find. Tuxedo black with white interior, that's a fast 'skunk'. Turned 105 mph in the quarter and 0-60 in 4.7 sec. on those little tires with that factory exhaust - it was a runner.
