What else do you know about that particular car, Ed ??

It's a coupe with deluxe interior, Rally Sport, gauges, power steering, power disk brakes and tilt column. Nice car in very good shape.

Because of the CRG rules I can't get very specific or show the trim tag, but the original color is (and still is) Matador Red and the interior shows 725 (red deluxe) on the trim tag, although apparently that's a mistake because it's clearly black!!

Yes, a few things have been replaced over the years but overall it's fairly original.

Here's a picture of the car, but I think this is about as much as I can divulge.

Well, 2 outa 3 ain't bad (drivetrain ?, color-check, photos-check)! 4spd?

Without docs or the OE block, pretty much impossible to document an L89 from a L78. Is that a fair statement?

Thanks for divulging!

[bertfam]

Yes, an original L89 with a Muncie and yes, it's almost impossible to determine ANY 68 without docs.

68…bastard year….proud to own one.

^^ Me too.

What about the British Green Camaro Specialties L89 Car?

[Gars68Tux]

British Green would be January or later, but I'd certainly like to hear about it. How many 68 L89's are there in the DB??

[bertfam]

How many 68 L89's are there in the DB??

Only 15. Out of the 272 built that year, that's only 6 percent.

Ed

[Gars68Tux]

More than I would've guessed!

[bertfam]

Not all of these are cars. A few are orphan blocks or engines
