Re: Yellow Canadian L89
Thats a repro trim tag if I ever saw one! I am guessing that the car is not an original L-89 or a 396 car for that matter.

Re: Yellow Canadian L89
The best way to find out about a car is to track it's history. The car is owned by Richard English (RARE Z/28) of Camaro Heaven. He had purchased the car from Matt Langford (d_n_m69). I believe it was Matt who restored the car. Matt, who did you buy the car from and what happened to the original trim tag?

The trim tag is meaningless to documenting the car as an L89 anyway. If the trim tag was missing it would still be fine if the canada papers are legit. Im sure any potential buyers will check vins and pay the 40.00 to GM canada.

Not saying this car is a rebody but finding out where the car originally came from would help authenticate this car.

Re: Yellow Canadian L89
Obvious repop tag, I will refrain from calling it a fake, they way overdid the sealant on the rivets, but atleast they used some.
