Default Re: 1969 L89 Chevelle convert

$10K Keep in mind, likely in the $50-60K range to restore and without docs, only hearsay even though previous owners can be traced. Also, if the body is too far gone, this will drastically effect the value since the car will likely be blacklisted if it were rebodied.

Rick,

I have spent more time with the car, and it isn't as bad as originally thought I feel. It needs a lot of sheetmetal but I think it has a lot of merit. I'm also working on tracing original paperwork on the car. Will try to send pics this weekend to you...

Greg,

Is this car currently owned by a guy named Doug? And did he just get it late last summer?

I'm hoping to have a few pics of the car up by this weekend. It is really a neat old car, although rusty and needing full resto.

Forget about the pics for now Greg. Concentrate on verifing and documenting that it is a real L89 car. Only a hand full were built and being a convertable is only 'icing' on the cake.

Take your time and be cautious.
