is my low mile 68 L89 car a real L89
I hope someone who can help reads this. While in Iraq last time I got the oppertunity to purchace a low mile 68 camaro that my dad has known about for 25 years or so. My Camaro was green (JJ) did have a big block, and I've been told that it was an L89 optioned car. In the early 70's the car was brought to north western Pa from somewhere in Ohio, and has sat in different garages ever since. The origional owner did alot of drag racing with the car, and the origional drive train didn't come to Pa with the car. I know a man that went to Ohio to pick the car up with the second owner. The man I know said the seller wanted $1,000 extra for the build sheets (I sure wish I could find those). The gentleman I know said the build sheets showed the L89 Option. I'm trying to restore this car to as close to as origional as possible, though for now I can't sell it as one of 272 origional L89 cars, though I have no intentions of selling car anyway. The car is mostly in boxes, but well on it's way to being put back on the road. It's body is solid and rust free, wich is expected from a 6,800 mile car that's been garaged since the early 70's. The VIN is 124378n440139, any help would be great. I've already got a set of the 842 heads, and an M22 trans. I realy just need info and of course to put it back together
thanks alot
