I don't know, but that fake black - red stinger 67 L89 seems to change hands every so often

I call it a tribute car, if it is disclosed as being made up. If being passed off as the real thing, then fake, fraud, scam all seem to fit . . . .

Was this the "Ronald McDonald House" auction car a few years ago?
Is there a listing of known L89's S/N someplace?

Well there are only what, 16 of them (total) and the Ed Cole COPO car is up for auction this month, so that leaves only 15 more to document.....right?

this car had the original motor changed @ 1972 it was not a matching # 1967 when it was sold by me in 1979 the vehicle was sold to current owner by a gentleman in atkinson nh without matching # it has had 11 owners since new and it was on cover of corvette fever sayin it has 5 previous owners it definitely was always a nice no hit body
