car is now home and going through paperwork i was able to contact the gentleman who owned it from the early 90's till 03 he claims the 396 in it when he got it was a 2 bolt block but also had no idea what an l78 was either. he took the m21 out in 97 to put a th350 in. He bought it from someone north of baltimore. so the car was in maryland at least from the late 80's till when i bought it just last week. I contacted jim mckay chevrolet which is still in business but got the run around because i'm not buying a new car.

Very nice! Special paint. Stripe delete.

Call the dealership back an tell them you will buy a new car after they provide you some docs on the Chevelle.

Actually, D88 stripes is on the buildsheet.
And Black D88 stripes is handwritten on the sheet.

I've had good luck with MD Dept of Motor Vehicles. My car was owned by 2 people from MD in the mid 70's, and I got copies of the titles. This was in early 2000, and it was about a 4 month ordeal, but well worth it. The forms may have changed, not sure. I'll try to dig up the forms I used.

That would be awesome thank you. From what I’ve gathered it spent a lot of time in Maryland.
