Mecum auction Oct. 2005

[Charley Lillard]

No need to put that grill screw in. I am showing these pics because I doubt if that kind of detail shot was ever shown while on Ebay.

Hey Charlie,

Does anyone know what lot S26 went for? That was a 1969 L89 Camaro. The description was not as detailed as the others. Did anyone know of this car before the auction?

Mecum has not posted the results and I am curious to see what it went for.

I looked at it for quite a while. The trim tag looked odd. One of those that had the numbers stamped over each other. But get this color combo on the car. Tuxedo black with a green vinyl top and black houndstooth. Didn't get the chance to see it go thru so I am curious myself. Don't recall anything concrete that said it was a real L89.

Two Tone Camaro COPO. "Chalk mark documented"

[Jeff H]

Well, that L89 car has a fake trim tag so I wonder if it's really even an original 396 car let alone an L89 car. I believe the Gold COPO was discussed and it was revealed to be a clone.

Darren- Thanks for posting those pics of the L89. It does show a few interesting things and I can see where Jeff is coming from with his comments. That tag does look a little out of sorts.

Also I notice the temperture sending unit is coming out of the intake manifold. That wouldn't be the way it came from the factory which gives credence to what Jeff is saying. I assume there was no "paperwork" that went with the car.

Can't wait til Mecum posts the results.
