Is anyone familiar with the three Build Sheet Fathom Blue/ White/White "Survivor" which was for sale at Russo & Steele in Arizona?

All this talk about the Convertible is very Interesting. I have seen the car personally before and after resto, nice car. I dont know why Chuck sold it, he Really liked that car. On the same theme how Rare do you think a 70 El-Camino L-78 Would be?

Re: '70 Chevelle SS L78 Convt.
 

a 1970 L78 Elky is pretty rare, I bought one last fall , and after doing some research based on the ratios from 1968 and using the L78 engine production of 2144 for 1970 I kinda came up with a "Guesstimate" of about 237 L78 Elky's were made in 1970. I'd like to know anybody elses's estimates ?? I may be out to lunch,Does Dan Carr's poster have any info on them ?

Re: '70 Chevelle SS L78 Convt.
 

D. Carr is at 259.

Re: '70 Chevelle SS L78 Convt.
 

From a statistical POV, I think Carr's numbers make sense. But I also believe there are certain weights that must be applied to each vehicle. For one thing, I think the buyer of an El Camino has a lower propensity to be interested in an ultra-high performance vehicle. Hence, I believe the numbers for L78 El Caminos are much less.

Ive always felt extrapolating #s was in no way accurate for this hobby. If it worked thier be tons more RS copos...

Re: '70 Chevelle SS L78 Convt.
 

Good Point !but at least it's a start.

Re: '70 Chevelle SS L78 Convt.
 

How can it be a start? It just leads to misinformation.

If I were to use statistics for a Hemicuda convertible, I would think that all of 'em were red, dark green, yellow, and purple. Instead, there's 2 red ones, a purple one, two white ones, one or two black ones . . . you get the idea. But statistics would also suggest that the sample would not be enough to extrapolate numbers with a low rate of error.
