If I am not mistaken, isn't the hard top an L89?

If that's correct, I beleive this car was a Arizona Classic Car Dealership in 2004 that I came across.

All I remember is it's an L78, at least according to the air cleaner. If there was a sign indicating it was a L89, I don't remember it.

I just know it was one of the more drool-inducing Cameros I've seen in quite awhile.

(And, yes, I misspelled it on purpose - doncha hate when people spell it wrong?)

The engine pic and front license plate say L89.

Can't argue with that, right? :-)

I was just curious if the car was real. All too often, some of these cars are too good to be true, and as Camaros have to rely on documentation, that's what interested me. It certainly looks like one of the top Camaros in my eyes as far as equipment goes.

Even w/ supposed 'bulletproof' docs there's sure lots more homework to be done!.

I may be wrong but wasn't there yellow '69 L89 Coupe w/ Canadian docs we here on this site viewed pics of and questioned a year or so back?.

Again sorry if I'm remembering wrong but I seem to recall it appeared possible someone could have started w/ Canadian L89 documents and built the car to match incl. the obvious repop Cowl Tag that was shown also a Vin tag that was in question but not displayed?.

I inspected that car, it was right down the street from us, I think as recently as a couple of years ago, not sure, i sent some pics to Chuck ... no parking brake cables on it when I saw it ... some details were not correct back then ...
