Tag used to have some blatant errors on it. Curious if it's been 'fixed'.

The VIN was built by GM as a real L89. Car disappeared many years ago, with no trace. Was revived based on the Canadian Docs, but VIN and trim tag are said to have been reproduced and affixed to a body which had nothing to do with the original VIN or tags.

I am not stating this as first hand knowledge, just what I have learned researching the back ground history as this car was offered to me for purchase.

It is my understanding that there is virtually nothing from the original car included.

Anyone willing to elaborate more on this car? A friend of a friend has interest. My thought is you couldn't build it for $70k. If it runs n drives well, drive it and have a good time.

What might happen if the real Daytona Yellow L89 Camaro surfaces at some point, perhaps after a long slumber in someone's garage or basement?

Would it be a case of musical chairs... a problem for the owner of the car at that time? Or would it also be a problem for anyone that owned the car after the time it was recreated?

Such a scenario can get very messy. Usually the original hidden VINs override the public VINs especially if supported by a chain of ownership.

Since its a Canadian car and a VIN search was performed, at that point another car with that VIN did not exist in the public eye.

The two guys who found the car have this one for sale now.

Maybe they can answer any questions about the history of the Camaro ?

Well window sticker is for sure a repro, I'll look over Vintage paperwork a little more thoroughly.

Issues like this happen in Shelbyland often. Car is totaled, VIN tag used to create another car, totaled car is repaired with same VIN. Ouch.....
