Re: WTB:69 or 70 L78 chevelle
 

Like I said, I have never crawled over or under the car. It does have the GM paperwork, The owner brought it back from Quebec a few years ago and has thoroughly enjoyed the car. With our car, not having the original engine will affect the value. Nothing in our area seems to be selling very quickly. Small towns are losing manufacturing jobs in substantial numbers. As a result, everyone starts running a little scared and are tightening their purse strings. https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...lins/frown.gif

That's Jim Idziors' 1970 Gold/Black Chevelle.
It won best MODIFIED at the NCOA Showdown here in 1997.
Notice the firewall & underhood are painted body color,among other incorrect factory details..
A real nice guy,who told me then he made it into an L-78,as it did NOT originally come from the factory as an L-78.Notice the M-22 trans,which was NOT possible on the L-78 1970 Chevelle either.
It is a nice Chevelle,and priced fairly I believe for what it is,but it's NOT one of the 2144 1970 L-78 Chevelles' originally produced,or a concours correct restoration for those interested in finding one.
Champagne Gold is one of my favorites.. https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...ns/burnout.gif

-----I dont mean to be negative, but nowhere in the add on this gold car does it say that its an original 375hp car. Just makes you wonder......Bill S

-----Whoa,,,Rick beat me to the punch !!!!

Re: WTB:69 or 70 L78 chevelle
 

Rick,
beat me to it.
I was just going to say that ebay ad is not an L-78.
it was built after my car that was built third week of Dec.

Re: WTB:69 or 70 L78 chevelle
 

Thanks to canadian ssl78 & Northernforce for letting me get the details of the Toronto classifed L-78 close up.

For those curious,seller said it's got a 1970 L-78 Nova block(as the original blew up),& a Borg-Warner T-10 trans,but does retain the original 3:55 posi rearend.
It's a idiot light gauge cluster,which George Z. confirms,but the car has a console in it now,which George isn't showing as original equipment,(RPO D-55),which was very possible & quite unique for a Bucket seat 4 spd.
Noting other somewhat unique options for these Chevelles:
Power windows-Washer jar level indicator-Rear defogg-R-79 Side post battery-Auxillary lighting.
