8800 Mile L-89 Chevelle In Muscle Car Review

[70 copo]

Just got my copy of Muscle car review, Realy cool aluminum head Chevelle on page 72. Could have sworn that I looked at this car at Chevy Vettefest two years ago but it was stock in appearance. I mean really stock-wheel off/brake display NOS parts quality. These cars are so rare it would be hard to believe there are two like this one. Any one know the story? Same car?

Didn't that car at Vettefest have a red interior? My memory isn't the best but I believe that the one at Vettefest was the same one at Cobo Hall for the Autorama in 1999 as it was an L89 car that displayed with the wheels off and was perfect. For some reason I thought that car(s) had a red interior. Who knows, all of them are super nice. I am just glad I am not the only one going back with "period correct" speed parts instead of stock parts. Love those Cragar SS wheels!....RatPack..........

Jeez Phil, you should know since you put all the "correct" parts on it for Vettefest back then.

Well, since it was Hassett's car, why don't we ask him! Is he a member of the board?

Maybe I can send him an email and "alert" him of this thread...

It wasn't a black or dark blue LS-6 ragtop was it? I seem to recall an alum. head'ed LS-6 ragtop as a part of one of the 'big' collections (Floyd Garrett etc). The car I'm thinking about had stripe delete, and L-89 heads on an LS-6. I also seem to recall that it has an air cleaner elbow that went to the firewall...ala early Z-28. Anyone remember or know about this car?
