Bill Clements 1970 L89 LS6 Convertible
 

No scanner access tonight but I will upload scanned article tomorrow. Just digi-cam pics now, apologies. Always wondered if this article from August '95 Chevy Hi-Performance was a case of a magazine getting duped or if it was actually real:

Pictured broadcast sheet says:

L89 Alum HEAD EQ
PE2 15 X 7 WHEELS (15s on a 70 SS?!)
BOX 60 LW HOOD (supposedly a ACME FABRICATING factory fiberglass cowl induction hood - he has documents)

ACME did the W30 hood for Olds

If this car has been discussed here before please direct me to the thread, if not what is this? thanks in advance.

Been discussed here before Desmond. I do not think the story holds water.

There definitely is a thread or three on this car either here and or on TC. L89 was cancelled in Oct69, LS6 entered production Dec. I would defer to the much more qualified but fairly certain this car was deemed to have aftermarket RPO's and paper.

FWIW, the Olds hood is coded W-25. The W-30 was a performance package that included the W-25 hood.
