The 67s in the Holy Grail collection are all L71. L89s had the same HP rating as L71, at 435, on account the heads did not contribute any more HP, only a weight savings, plus the option was expensive, and when offered one or two L89s back in the day I passed. Did have 67 & 69 L88s but didn't like them much and subsequently didn't keep them long. Never claimed to be smart.

----I think I misunderstood Ban617's question. I thought he was saying one of your black 67's was an L89 when all he was asking was weather a 67 L89 had a different HP rating than a regular 435. I heard of a super low mileage black L89 coupe (under 2000 miles) back in the late 70's. I never could get close to it but I trusted the fella that told me about it completely. He has unfortunatly passed on, but to this day I don't think the car has ever appeared. Would have been cool if one of yours was that car!.....Bill S

Bill, if that black 67 L89 is lurking out there somewhere, and were ever to surface, I would have to get smart(er) in a hurry!

Love your humor Lance. I don't think you need to get "any smarter".....lol.

Please stay safe and be good.
