Yellow Canadian L89
 

I saw a very nice looking L89 Camaro at the GM show in Oshawa Ontario this past weekend and was just wondering if anyone knows the history of the car ?

Car is for sale on another website as well. Nice to see rare cars with docs . http://www.camaros.net/classifieds/s...130&cat=44 Ad says walnut wheel ,im guessing it should be a rosewood by dec 68 unless Canada did things differently .

Trin Tag is not authentic!

Thats a repro trim tag if I ever saw one! I am guessing that the car is not an original L-89 or a 396 car for that matter.

-------So you are saying the Canadian paperwork is also suspect??? Could this be an example of a damaged or lost trim tag???.......Bill S

Kind of like the HO 69 Yenko mentioned in another thread?

The best way to find out about a car is to track it's history. The car is owned by Richard English (RARE Z/28) of Camaro Heaven. He had purchased the car from Matt Langford (d_n_m69). I believe it was Matt who restored the car. Matt, who did you buy the car from and what happened to the original trim tag?

[/ QUOTE ] Just because the trim tag was changed doesnt mean the canada papers are not legit. The trim tag is meaningless to documenting the car as an L89 anyway. If the trim tag was missing it would still be fine if the canada papers are legit. Im sure any potential buyers will check vins and pay the 40.00 to GM canada.

True but any sign of a fake trim tag is always cause for concern with respect to rebodying, regardless of how many docs you have. Not saying this car is a rebody but finding out where the car originally came from would help authenticate this car.

i find it strange that this car and the green COPO beside it both have fake trim tags !
