What color was the car and what options did it have? I assume it was a Norwood car?

Dont know color or options. I have the motor and was wondering if the story rang a bell to someone who knew of the car.

Norwood VIN on the motor? If it still has the water pump is it the long or short one and did it have power steering?

Car was a racer and supposedly a 427 or was put in right away, this motor had never been dissasembled at all. Possibly right away in 1969 it was taken out.

Is it coded as an Automatic or a 4 speed?

The reason I was asking is that I have a 1969 Camaro that has a 11/68 build date. I belive it is a L-78 or L-89 because of the parts that were on the car when I bought it. The car was built in L.A. and I do not know the history of the car.

Hey King, Wasn't Sherwood Allen's Soul Survivor Camaro an L89 from the factory? He was from the Phila area. The car is still around. Thought I saw it on one of the websites recently. Maybe SC69Sam can remember???????????
