Do you have any record of a dark green 68 L89 Camaro in SE Iowa Darrell? I know a guy that supposedly has one with the original engine and he was going to have Jerry inspect when I had my COPO Camaro inspected in 2017. He saw one of Jerry's reports and was worried about him picking his car apart and changed his mind which shocked me because if I had an L89 with the original motor I'd be dying to know if it was legit or not.

If it’s Seqouia Green then yes I have it listed. But no driveline photos that I recall. Waited on current owner to feel comfortable sending photos. I list the info but just make quick notes.

Finally came across the car I mentioned above today at a local show and got a picture of the trim tag and pad stamp. I cut off the VIN off since I believe the suffix shows enough for the experts to know if its legit or not.
