Default Re: eBay '66 L78 El'Camino

Anyone who asked me if the engine was the actual engine that came with the car was informed that it was not. The car is an original L78. The protect-o-plate, owners manual, and salesman`s business car has been with the car since it was new. it was ordered by Joe Corbo (name misspelled on pop as Carbo) from Dooley Brothers Chevrolet in Somerville, NJ. I can document at least 2 other owners besides Joe & myself. The car never left the area. It is not a fake as stated by mysterychevelle. If the pop decodes that the rear is dated after the delivery date, there was obviosuly a mistake made by Chevrolet. This pop is not a fake. Please. The current engine has the correct casting numbers and the pad has been restamped with the correct numbers. Again, this is an original, unrestored, L78 El Camino. The original owner, now in his late 60`s, is still living at the same address that is on the pop. He can tell anyone in detail, about how he got the car. He also had a 68 L88 Corvette that he ordered and took delivery of. He had a great sotry about how he had to go pick the car up at port. They couldnt get it started. he told them not to touch it and when he arrived, the hood was open and the windshield was black. I don`t think the L88 had a choke.
