Thats the Reproduction Battery sold to them from Newcastle.
I believe either NewCastle or Antique Battery is the only one licensed to make it,then all the aftermarket houses buy it from them,at cost and charge what they will.
They sell you the R-79 decal and it becomes a 1970 battery.
They sell you the R-89 decal,and it stays the 1971 R-89 battery.
They all get the eye caps std.
This will not have the different size terminal bolts.to expesive for them to make.
I think you will have to settle for the R-89,no matter what.Shop around and find the best price,they are all coming from the same Factory...

Here is the C-89 sealed, side post battery available in the Lemans and GTO in 1972. Did the Chevelles use it?
