2 69 l78 post sedans found and being restored

[mockingbird812]

Greg,
Good luck with your 'velle projects. Way to jump in w/ both feet. My '69 L78 coupe is an M21, KK rearend, Olympic Gold, black bucket interior w/ 71k documented original miles and was delivered to Colussey Chev. in Bridgeville, PA (suburb of Pgh). My Mom and sister live within 5 minutes of the dealership. The engine, tranny, and rearend are original to the car. Colussy is still in business today (although they moved down the street a bit). You may want to check with them (probably a needle in the haystack, but this was not too far from Forbes Field where the Bucs played at that time). I plan to contact them to fill in a few more gaps with my car. The 1st owner was a returning Vietnam Vet pilot whose family owned a Quaker State Service station. He took good care of his car (each oil change, service, and repair was recorded in the owner's manual). I am still tracking him down, but have spoken to two of the former owners to date. I am fortunate to have 2 partial buildsheets, the owner's manual with all services/repairs recorded and the POP for this car.

Will try a link to my 69 velle L78:

Thanks mr70. Can't take much credit as I have only done some mechancal work including rebuilding shift linkage, rebuilding carb, returning original gear ratio (was 3.73:1) to 4.10:1.

Rick,

Thanks for the kind words about my Butternut Yellow Chevelle...But for once your data base is incorrect. This is why you should remain a 70 expert and stay far away from us 69 experts. Ha,HA. Your are mistaking my Butternut car with my other two 69 Post Sedans.

Rick are you bringing your BM sign to Vette Fest again?

Sam, Great looking Olympic Gold L78...I love that color. How far are you from the Barrett-Jackson sight. If possible I`d like to see the car at next years show.

Dan.

Dan.
