Update on my 1968 L89 coupe.
Pulled a NCRS report and found out that the car came from Clippinger Chevrolet in Covina.
Did some snooping around on the internet and found these pics with Bob Wingate aka “Mr Corvette” and James Garner.
Interesting that Bob W. Had what appears to be a yellow 68 L89 with the same black stripe except his is a convertible. Makes me wonder if that was a dealer add on?
