1969 L-89 Convertible 4 Speed For Sale

[raw muscle cars]

we all have talked this car to death. is anyone going to step up and buy it? the bidding has not broken 150,000 yet on e-bay. you would think if it is the real deal with all the camaro and collectors out there this car would be sold by now. if you post a hemi cuda or a yenko or a motion vette it be gone. to a purist there is no chance of this car bringing 250,ooo. id be willing to bet he owns this car for awhile.

Wow, talk about overreacting. Most high end musclecars don't sell on Ebay. Just last month there was a known 69 Yenko on Ebay and it didn't sell either. Most people want to take time to examine a car and if that requires getting a flight to go and inspect it, then usually that doesn't happen within a week's time. Even without documentation, the cost of this car plus the full restoration is easily over $125K so it really comes down to who wants a rare convertible like this. Most guys here would rather have a 427 COPO or Yenko so they have no interest in this car. Somebody will end up buying this car and be very happy with it.

Ebay is a great way to advertise a car and potentially sell it. As I mentioned in my previous post the three Baldwin Motion cars and the L-78 Camaro convert I bought all were on Ebay at one time, but were purchased long after the cars did not sell through the Ebay auction.

Agree...E Bay is good advertising...

So after all the chat whats the verdict. Is it one of the 11 built.What would this car bring at Barrett in 06? I think its a sweet ride and the owner seems very honest about it and I agree you couldnt restore this car for that money. Is it a wise investment, I just may go look at it and see about buying it Im shore I would look good driving around town. What do you guys feel 150-200 is a good price or no.

Just my opinion: I would never consider a car for $200,000 plus without some documentation. If you buy this car, the burden of proof becomes yours in the future. There are many cars I would rather have other than an L89, and $200,000 will buy any of them with documentation, Good luck to the both the seller and, when sold, the buyer.

Of all the cars that were produced, who keeps all their documentation anyways. I know i never did as back than it did'nt occur to me that it was nessasary as I know what it is and did'nt care about resale value, not thinking that the car would actually be worth more than what i paid for it in the future and im sure many felt this way. I think buying a car today with original documentation is fortunate but not the breaker of a deal. Just becouse the car dosent have the paperwork dosent mean that it's not right. He simply wasent fortunate to have had it saved. Also with all the technology with forgery today who really knows for sure. I would question ANY documentation with ANY car. Back than why would most people save it?. Is it real?, well thats for the buyer to decide, if it is ...good on you!!. The things that are not original to the car is explained and really is not a big deal (they can be changed and the current owner likes it that way, remember it's his car not yours, if you don't like it buy it and change it than you can be proud of YOUR car), although the tag issue is a bit disconcerning. It's a very nice car and a great resto, $250K....YIKES, but hey sombody will buy it eventually, don't forget someone paid 1mill+ on a 68 z rag!!!. Although if i could find an L89 pacer....hmmmmmmmmmmm!
