Wow.....interesting ad. I think he needs to do a little more research on these cars. A little overpriced as well. Neat car none the less.

L78 Impala with a 4 speed buckets and console over priced? Looks like a tough one to find.

Tough to find but can't pull more than $45k back out of it.....body looks to be in pretty rough shape judging by front fender/pass door

- The L72 was not rated at 435 hp

- The L72 was not the same motor as the 427/435 in the Vette

- The L72 didn't require COPO channels to be ordered

- I believe 546 L72 big cars were built per Chevrolet records

- Chevrolet usually built more sticks than automatics with their top motors

- I'd be willing to bet most of the L72s were ordered for SS 427 cars over any other big car

It's an L72 which is better yet but still over priced in my opinion. I have owned MANY of these cars so I am saying that from experience not just opinion. They just do not bring the money even when totally restored which is a real shame. As I have said in other discussions, I know of a certain L72, automatic SS427 convertible that is rough but 99% there and he was asking $15k 10 years ago and he STILL owns it so I must not be the only one that thinks that.

Sorry L72. I didn't know they never brought any real money. They are really cool cars.

When you get right down to it they are worth whatever someone will pay for them. They deserve more credit than they get for sure.

Why the orange paint in the lifter area? If it has 54k original miles?
