Dave Ellis owns it and is restoring it slowly.
It was sold new from Carl Schmidt Chevrolet on 350 Louisiana St.in Perrysburg OH.
Forest green 1970 L-78 402/375Hp originally,with TH400 trans,(1 of less then 5 '70 L-78 Cnvts.w/TH400 I know of to date),& 3:55 posi.,that had it's engine pulled,(believed to have been blown up),later on & an LS-6 installed in it.Was then painted Astro blue,and now being painted back to it's origianl green color,last I talked to him.I think Dave said he found the original block,after a long & tedious search.Very heavy loaded with factory power options too,according to the buildsheet.
Dave is a gentle & very nice man,who has been in a wheelchair for many years now,so the resto is slow & steady.
His L-78 Chevelle cnvt.and my L-78 Chevelle coupe were literally built within minutes,if not seconds of eachother.
Mine was 18 units ahead of his on the same assembly line that day.
