Yellow Canadian L89

[Maxx]

Attachment shown above is the only shot I have at this time. Why would a 69 car have a front spoiler and not a rear spoiler? Were all 1969 camaro standard front grilles painted silver by the factory??

All non RS cars got silver grille except for SS equipped cars which received black. All RS equipped cars received black grilles except for those painted black, which received silver grilles.

Z28's followed the above protocol as well:

Standard Z silver grille
RS/Z Black grille
RS/Z painted black would have a silver grille

The much discussed Canadian L89 Camaro here does not appear to have come through Belmont Chev when it was new... It was not ordered by Belmont Chev.

How can you say that when the GM docs posted on the first page say otherwise?

One simple call to George at GM of Canada would tell us all were it was from.

I believe the docs to be legit so I want to know how Charles can make that claim?

Everyone looks at the performance cars with great interest today. However it should be remembered that these cars were a very small part of the overall volume at a dealership. These were special cars that were handled by only one or two people when it came to picking specifications and ordering units. Even today there is clear understanding of what was ordered due to the relatively small number of cars involved. The L89 is not in the 'memory bank'.

If the car was not ordered through Belmont, then why is the dealer listed on the GM of Canada paperwork?

It is possible that the car was originally ordered through Belmont but sold somewhere else. I don't believe this car is something a dealer would order without having a buyer for it. Central Chev Olds would have done it but not these guys.

Or are you claiming the GM of Canada paperwork is fake, Charles?
