That would be my guess. L-82, not LT-1.

First off if it was a '69 and only two '69 LT-1s are said to have been built (I have never heard this), it would have probably been a '69 350/350 OR a 70 350/370. And ya, it's not from the factory - period.

I understand there were 3 LT-1's built in 1969. My friend has one of them, a black on black coupe all original purchased from the original owner over 30 years ago.All of the original documanetation is with the car. He rarely uses the car except for an occasional drive. Car is extremely rare and has been valued at over 250k. I never thought they made a 69 LT-1 until I learned of his.

Please get the engine suffix code for your friend's car and post it here. I am very curious about these cars.
