I agree with you Rick that it could be done . . . but the odds say it wasn't. Especially as this particular car is not what the owner claims it is. He is saying it's an L78 because is has an HP tach . . . with A/C and an iron intake manifold. And of course, there is no paperwork.

Not too many Fathom Blue Chevelles have black stripes. The worst is Black Cherry then Forest Green. People figure Black top, Black interior - stripes should be Black. But Chevy wanted contrast with their stripes which is lacking when they are Black versus White with the dark colors.
