If your car was a MAJOR PROJECT then it could be the same car I called about maybe 5 years ago.
Here is a photo I kept, as I stated it was a major project at the time -

Yikes, no. I've owned about 15 years now. Finished resto in 2014.

Its Sequoia Green or British Racing Green. If I see it around this summer I'll try to get a picture of trim tag and engine block stamp.

As long as the owner gives the approval I’d appreciate it.

'

The Maroon 'Vert matching #'s restamp w/ questionable L89 pedigree is in this past thread w/ 05/13 Mecum link still alive...
https://www.yenko.net/forum/showthread.php?t=122551

A Factory Built '68 L89 w/ indisputable history and THE ORIGINAL Engine (not just #'s smoke & hokey paperwork) is something special and looking forward to hearing more about your LB car also any other examples you come up with.

If you want to try backtracking L89's or matching up any known cars, there's a few original ads for '68 L89's in the Old Newspaper ads thread including below 12/68 Chicago ad w/ L89 'Vert, click here and cruise through a few pages...

I remember reading about that convertible having questionable papers. But never heard from the car again.

I don't understand why Chevy thought that the POP would remain with the cars. I see people all day selling the owner's manuals that comes with cars and it pisses me off. Those belong to the car not to you.
