Default Re: Chevelle LS5 vs. Chevelle L78 (1970)

Greg,
I would have to agree with the "mystique" factor, not only with the Hemis, but with Muscle/Supercars in general. Even if we accept a number of 19 for the LS-6 convertibles; compare that to the '69 ZL-1s. We all know an RPO car such as the LS-6s won't command the prices ANY COPO will. Just the facts, M'am.

Kevin,
If your friend is wanting to drive the car, I'd probably lean toward the LS-5 but from an investment standpoint I would think the L-78 might be the smarter purchase. Again, the mystique of the Solid Lifter Big Block Power!
