1969 SS 396/L89 Convertible Camaro

[Camaroresto]

I have been wondering and looking around on past posts and google for information on the L89 Camaro convertibles. I know there weren't too many made. Just wondering if there is a VIN number list of those like that of the Copo's, etc. Any info would be helpful.

You only need one set of toes to count the Rag Tops I know about? Very rare cars in Coupe form and especially Convertibles.

Were they built in batches or here and there?

From the research I have done, I would tend to believe most of the 311 L89s were built in batches. At the York 2007 show there were 3 L89s ( first anyone could remember having that many shown at one time ) and all had very similar build dates. Two were built the same week and had the docs to prove it and the third was built the following week. They were all coupes.

The '69 L89 rag tops were very few and far between. The number made I have seen ranges anywhere from 10-17 depending on the source. Without the factory records it's hard to pin point an exact number but pretty much everyone agrees it was a very small number.
