The Blacked out tail panel is a nice touch. Must be for real L89 Cars only.

If the auction house pays no heed to whether a car's real or a fraud job, who and how do they come up w/ these auction estimates...195,000-225,000 in this case?

I looked the car over today and saw copies of the docs. Build sheet looks perfect, no torn edges, nothing missing. No spring marks either. I saw the block stamping and the vin is by the filter. I have seen several stamping in the past and here. Other cars here I used my phone for a picture and blew it up so you could read the stamp. This car was the clearest vin stamp I have seen in this location and I didn't have to blow the picture up.

Bill: Can you get (and post) a clear pic of the trim tag?

I'm not saying this is the case with this Camaro, but FYI.

I inspected and researched a proposed 1969 L89 Camaro a while back. Turns out that the Camaro was a real and more popular L78, which was decked, properly rebroached and stamped with the original date, but for the L89 code and of course the correct date coded aluminum heads were added. So everything lined up, parts, patina date codes and originality, including the original engine with the original VIN stamp.

Similar to the supposed L89 that was originally an X11 taged small block and the original trim tag was modified to X66. It was done so well it was impossible to tell.
