Hi....For SURE!!! There was a 69 L88, White coupe : from Canada. I know the car. I've been in Vettes for over 25 years. This Vette was at Bloomington in 1988, I was there too.
There has been a few sold in Canada....I know of one sold at Golden Mile which has been in storage for years.

Regards

Is that Golden Mile L-88 in storage in Toronto and do you know who owns it? what colour is it?

[LT1vette]

Yes...I know who owns it.

I have seen two Canadian delivered L-88s... Both were post strike cars with the second design L-88 and coincidentally, both were automatics.

One is Frank Stech's Can Am white/black coupe that was mentioned previously... The other is a Daytona yellow/black coupe. Both cars have been restored and are exceptional examples.

I'd be willing to bet that there were a few four speed L-88s delivered there as well, but I have not seen any documentation at this time.

Is the Frank Stech car the car from Bloomington '88?

The Can Am White car was in the 88 Special Collection although it was not owned by Frank at that time. It was reportedly ordered by a dealer in Montreal and sold to a 59 year old gentleman who drove the car regularly until the age of 70. The restoration was performed by Stingray or Mississauga, Ontario.

Hi....That's correct. That is the same car that was at the collection in '88. I had lost track of it and wondered where it had gone too. [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/beers.gif[/img]

Earlier, there seemed to be a moderate amount of interest concerning the Can Am White Canadian M40 equipped L88 coupe owned by Frank Stech. For anyone still interested, that car along with Frank's red/red 13,000 mile L88 coupe is slated to be displayed at the NCRS National Convention next month in Hershey. Thought you may want to know.

Take care

Hello: I know of at least one 1969 yellow L-88 convertible that was sold new in Ontario. It was probably a stick shift and it had the optional HARDTOP! The story was that the owner didn't like it (something about overheating) and returned it to the dealer...
