Sold for 80,000, Kissimmee. Could not have been a real L89. Anyone know that car? Black.

Looks like it. It didn't mention very much in add except numbers matching. Kinda like one saying on here.... always be suspicious of a black car! Or an undocumented rare camaro. Ha.Just a nube here, but visited here for many times looking for parts and research while restoring my L89.

Owned it about 15 years. 68 Lemans Blue, numbers matching, documented, RS. Finished restoration in 2015. Was judged at the Camaro Nationals, Gold in 2017. Solid lifter showroom in18. Cannot determine value, there not any comparison that I can find. The 69 that sold years ago at Mecum wound up being bogus. I have an opertunity on several rare lost camaros, including a Dick Harrell car, I am working on and may part with the L89.

You talking about the Black L89 out of Florida which had fake paper also showing it with JL8?

I saw that one at auction (Kissimmee Mecum??)

Pretty car but it really caused a stir :-)

I didn't know the whole story until I saw the response on this forum. Just haven't been here in years. It's amazing the knowledge here. I once ask a well known camaro judge if they had a judging manual they went by and he didn't respond except to point to his temple! I said awesome can I get a copy? I don't think he was amused.
