Wow, COPO I wasn't aware that the car could be that rare- Thanks for the info.

Re: 70 L78 Chevelle Conv w/ Aluminum Heads
 

Just received the following information on this car."The original motor is apart and in the trunk. The numbers are hard to read, but appear to read T0926CKT". "The firewall trim tag has 10A for a build date." Will try to get more information soon.

T0926CKT". Sep 26 and CKT is a 375 Horse 402 in the Chevelle. Kicker its a 3 or 4 speed with Alum Heads. Would be right for the below Build date

"The firewall trim tag has 10A

NOTE in Chevy by the Numbers:

Due to the build-out schedule revisions after production change over at the Tonawanda plant, some 1970 402 engine suffix codes were used on late 1969 396 engines if you can find a copy of the Chevy Service News dated Jan 1970 you can find more in depth info

Hello everyone! This is my first post here. I like this place! I grew up in a GM family and my dad and I both worked for a local dealer. Anyway, I've been watching this thread intently. mr70, what color is the L89 you know about? The reason I ask is, my dad had one for a demo for a few weeks and I always wondered what happened to the car. You won't believe the options it had. IIRC, PS, PB, PW, PL, console, 4spd, light monitoring, 8 track, flapper hood, L89 396-375. It was blue with black stripes and a back vinyl. I tried to get the VIN from the local dealer a few weeks ago but their records are gone [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/frown.gif[/img]. It was originally an "officials" car. It came to the dealer with a few thousand miles on it. I wasn't old enough to drive at the time but that car was my favorite of all the muscle cars that were around back then. Has anyone seen this car?
