Default Re: Lot S145 1970 L78 Chevelle Convert - 4 Speed

Just to add to the above information submitted by sparky...

The original owner from Nebraska had always liked high horse power convertibles and this was the best he could get at the time. He wanted it be a sleeper so he didn't have stripes or cowl induction. He went as far as to remove the SS emblems on the front fenders to conceal what he had.

The original motor went into the dealership for warranty work with only 269 miles on it. A couple of pistons had to be replaced I guess. It was in the later 70s when a rod through the block destroyed the original motor.
