Default Yellow Canadian L89

I saw a very nice looking L89 Camaro at the GM show in Oshawa Ontario this past weekend and was just wondering if anyone knows the history of the car ?

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.

-------So you are saying the Canadian paperwork is also suspect??? Could this be an example of a damaged or lost trim tag???.......Bill S

That's weird. The ad has been pulled after 3 days since this thread has come out. You figure that the owner would use this opportunity to come out and discuss the car and it's abiguities instead of making it disappear for a while.

Nobody who has anything to do with this L89 wants to come forward and discuss the car. Why is that? Such a beautiful car! People would usually be proud to come forward and say I own it or I restored it. Instead, complete silence........

Why was an "X" code used if the car was built in the first week of December? According to CRG, the x code started in the 2nd week of Dec. Here is a link to CRG website:

So now you know that the tag isn't a replica of the original, cause it got smashed, melted or some other cockomany story. Its a made up tag. At best someone added the X66 number to the original info, at worst its a completly made up tag that bears no relationship to the original.
