Default Re: '70 Chevelle SS L78 Convt.

All I was doing was trying to get information out on L78's so people would understand them. There were many interesting quirks to these cars. Around 1998,I published on our website that if anyone wanted to discuss L78's, to call me. I also offered the copies of many of the buildsheets to help educate people. One L78 owner saw that on the website and threatened to sue me if I gave a copy of his buildsheet to anyone. That was pretty much the end to my freedom of information act. There were so many inside stories to these cars that a book could be written. Here's one quick interesting story. The coupe I had originally was a black bench interior- but it had buckets when I got it. Brent Jarvis had just completed the resto on the black one for Tony. Tony sent the original bench on the black one to get redone- he didn't like the way it came out, so he got another bench seat and put it in the black one. I needed a bench seat, so he gave me the one he didn't want. So the original bench seat to the black one is mounted in the blue coupe that I sold to a guy in Chicago suburbs in the late 90's! The black one has a fascinating story- was found in the same tiny town in TN. that it was sold new in. The salesman that sold it new was still working as a salesman when Tony purchased it.
