I don't know who or how I would find the car? Any suggestions? The casting date on your block should be under the middle freeze plug on the passenger side of the block. If not it is on the back of the block on the bellhousing flange.

This guy says the car was an original L-89 car per the buildsheet. It does not have the original motor anymore and he is asking $69K http://www.almeidasclassiccars.com/

Just called on that one and the vin number was not close to the vin of the one I have but looks like a good one if it has the real paperwork with it.

Dennis, I'd be glad to check it against my research lists and see if I have it listed. PM me or I can be reached at [email protected]. I don't release any info without owner approval. Additionally, if anyone else has 1969 Chevelle data (Vins, Trim tags, Documents, etc) and they would like to contribute to my research please contact me. Thanks Take it easy, Andy

I appreciate that very much. I'm at work at the moment but I will get you the information. I would love to see this get back to the original car. This is a rare piece and in excellent shape.
