How can he say it is a L89 when the engine is gone.

I've seen figures of L89 verts and I think it was less than 10 produced.

The tach should be a 6k redline 7K max, however this has a 6k/8k which was used exclusely on the Z28 during mid year production. Obviously the tach could have been swapped out over time...

[resto4u]

There is no way to prove without any documentation or original parts. And anyone can write on the firewall what they want. This car has been on ebay a few times before. A great fishing expedition!!!!!!!! If he is lucky, he might get a sucker on the line.

[al8apex]

this has the early narrow spoiler ... the VIN does not match that feature

gotta love the embellishment of the Z23 Special Interior option:

&quot;-FACTORY HIGH HORSEPOWER PASSENGER SIDE DASH GRAB HANDLE (HIGH HP DELUXE TRIM CARS ONLY)&quot;

umm, EVERY Z23 car had it, even your grannies 6 cylinder powerglide ...

that is one rusty / rotted but straight car ... I am sure worse has been resurrected ...

wrong stripe as well!

[Justbad Joe]

Maybe the stripe was put on by Berger. Check out all the Berger COPO's.

it looks like the one pic shows the coil spring tag....I'd like to know what the numbers are on there...correct me if I am wrong, this is just from memory...but I believe the springs were different on the L89 cars..???

[talwell]

Closed auction @ $25.1k. What are some opinions on this?

[x77-69z28]

stated that the trim tag had an 09E production, but the pic of the trim tag appears to be 05A.

[ChevyThunder]

Bad photo of trim tag but it looks fake to me

[David C.]

Somebody got ripped off. There has been much discusion over this fellows previous car sales. Some items of concern have been discussed about this car @ Team Camaro.

as stated above (and in the link), someone got ripped off on a cobbled, fake ID tag rusty shell

The owner of this car has been swapping vin and trim tags for years. If you look at a thread on this site &quot;Motion 67 Camaro on Ebay?&quot;,the seller and buyer are the same guy and his father COPOL89 is asking about the car and how to tell if its real and if anyone has old pictures of it. They have taking a lot of people over the years,maybe this will put an end to it.

Gill, How about completing your user profile and including a phone number in case someone could benefit by speaking to you personally.

My car is also a 09A built car, but the body is ~6600 before the tag pictured on this car.
I don't see how that is possible. That would be over 6000 cars in a week when I thought they only built a little over 14K cars for the whole month of September.

Am I missing something here?

[firstgenaddict]

Body tag numbers are assigned when the order is accepted, not when the car is built. As long as the Cowl Tag Date and VIN# match with-in the acceptable range it is ok.

Look at the pictures of that rear end, springs and shakle bolts... that rear end looks like its been in it since day one.
Notice also the black paint/primer overspray on the cowl screen (just above the cowl tag).

I dont think its an SS or even an original RS equiped car.

[92646]

Not sure what happened but the car is back on e-bay.

[al8apex]

probably the &quot;high bidder&quot; saw that it was a fake and bailed ...

or it was a shill bidder for the top bid

Here is the new link:

http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/1969-BERG...#ht_3027wt_1167 (http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/1969-BERGER-CAMARO-SS-RS-396-L89-4-SPD-CONVERTIBLE-RARE-/130432742800?pt=US_Cars_Trucks&amp;hash=item1e5e65b590 #ht_3027wt_1167)

and this is a new twist: &quot; X22 (SPECIAL 396 375HP ENGINE SS EQUIPT W/ RALLY SPORT HIDE A WAY HEADLIGHT TRIM )&quot;

apparently an X22 trim tag means L78 <span style="font-weight: bold">AND</span> RS ....

this seller is so full of it that it makes my monitor stink <<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/smile.gif

[Gill427]

It states in his listing that it has been off the road sense 1979. So from 69-79 the floors and trunk rotted out and were replaced and so was the top, the hood looks like it was put on the car a few weeks ago. Then it was put in a salt shed for safe keeping. I like his answers on ebay.



Questions from other members

Q: I thougt this car was sold what hapent Sep-18-10

A: Due to economy NO One has money at this time the winning bidder, second highest, even the 3 highest. everyone bids but is unreal. Im just selling car to restore my black Jerry doc'ed copo car.

Q: Hi, how do you determine its an L89? Sep-17-10

A: the rare gm options, the factory l89 marks on the firewall that have rusted marks in the white factory markings, and the fact that I have black and white copies of the pictures of this car when it still had the original set of white lettered good year tires on it. thanks for your interest.

[al8apex]

wow, that clinches it for me ... a black and white picture with white lettered tires ... cause I guess that ONLY L89 cars came with those ...
