How Many 69 L89 Chevelles?

[hvychev]

In the winter edition of Muscle Car Review Mag there is an article of the car at Floyd Garretts Museum. In that article is a Monoco Orange 69 L89 Chevelle. In the article they say that there was only 6 made. I know, I know don't believe a word of what is said in mags! I am just curious because in my expedition of the lost Fencl Tufo paperwork there was a stack of paperwork on a 69 L89 Chevelle. The vehicle was equipt as follows. Glacier Blue, Parchment interior, black vinal top, L78, L89, M21, 4.10 axle ratio, buckets, console, & 8 track. Other items listed on the invoice were F62 & G32 springs, head rests, & Z25 SS 396 equpt. List price on the car was $4425.70. Before anybody decides to track the car down a title search was already done on the car and the car met it's fate at the county fair demolition derby as a dirt track car with a cool inbetween story.

The point is that between this car, the featured magazine car, and Mickey Hales old car that makes three. Are they saying that there were only three more? How many were really made? Any good gusses?

I believe there were 400 69 L89 Chevelles built.Very few were in the rare 300 Post cars. Maybe the 6 cars they are refering to were SS-396 L89 post cars?

The car in Floyds is indeed a post.

Frank, Ron Norman has one of those L89 post chevelles. Fathom green. Neat ride. S.

Rons car is indeed nice but he is quick to point out that it was cloned from a 325hp car. It is a gennie Camaro L89 engine though.

[Schonyenko2]

I stand corrected. Still a neat ride. S.

----------Dont forget my old black-on-black 69 El Camino. The one and only 1969 L89 El Camino ever built!!!! Still exists with around 16000 original miles somewhere near Cleveland, I think. One of one. I believe its the rarest of the 1969 L89s.............Bill S

How do you know it was the only one ever built?

I'll be parked right next to it this weekend Bill! Great truck for sure....I'll see if I can get the cover off it and take a few pics.I know it was out once last year...I'm not exactly sure on the # Joe,but I do know there is a nice bit of "paper" for this truck to back it up as an L-89.Once owned by Bill and also Joe Hrudka.....

Where will you be parked next to it at? I live in Garrettsville, (between Cleve. and Youngstown) and would like to see it.
