Gorgeous car, but for 300k, and all the paint daubs, wouldn't they detail the shocks?

I talked with the owner when this car was at Mecum in `05-06.
He was the very same guy that has the "1 of 1" L89 Nova now. What's his name..........Dave Frendl or something along those lines?

I believe this is the same chevelle that was restored by Thorton Body Works (the Oldsmobile guys) around the corner from me in Telford, Pa. Saw it several times in their shop. Also down Atlantic City auction a few years ago like another member stated. Very nicely done! Not sure who owns it now though.

Thats my old car I bought it from the original owner in 93. Sold new at Porter Chevrolet Newark De. I sold it in 2000 to Mike Byrnes in Chalfonte Pa. The display board details all of the owners history. This L-89 Convertible led me to the Red L-89 that I wound up finally getting in 2004

Definately a Real L-89 convertible, the claim 1 of 3 is wrong because I have had 2 and know where 2 are all real converts at this time. I have all of the as found Fossil pictures that where taken and presented to the experts at the time. They were viewed by Jeff Dotter, Mark Meekins, Roger Ausley,to name a few and several of them viewed it in person. PM me or call me I have all of the details. I did not know that the same owner of this who bought this in 2005 owns the supposed L89 Nova. This one and the red one Deffinately have original 842 Aluminum heads !!!!!!!!

Does it have the orig engine ?

Larry Bowman's car. I thought he bought it at a Mecum sale, and later ran it through another Mecum (or RM?) sale where it did not sell.

Hi, Jim, that's cool it's an original DE car cuz it's a small state, after all.

I did email the owner asking about the claims of "1 of 3" since I am a numbers guy and know better. While the owner explained what some "experts" claim, he also was reasonable about it rather than trying to puff it up for the sake of the auction.

BTW, my car was originally sold at Kent County Motors in Dover, and of course there's the famous Union Park Super Duty Tempests . . .
