LS5 Ragtop on Ebay

[Mr70]

I can't see the Buildsheet on this screen at all.It's too dark & far away,so I can't comment on it.
Lakewood and all the other 6 Assembly plants built these in convertible form.Final destination did not determine plant built at.
No LS-5 Chevelle/Elco recieved the 4:10 posi rear on the assembly line floor.They recieved either a 3:31 open,(RU) or a 3:31 posi,(RV).Air conditioning had nothing to do with that.The 4:10 Posi was a solid Lifter engine application...L-78 & LS-6 ONLY.
The seller does not state anywhere that is the ORIGINAL 4:10 rearend,...but the CKK coded 4:10 posi was an 1970 L-78 Chevelle/Elco application only and with a date of 03 23 makes me believe it was stamped to fit the time zone of this particular Chevelle.I would like to know the casting No. & date of that rearend housing.. I would be suspect of that P-O-P for this reason alone.
Although the literature from back then does suggest that the New T-60 Side terminal R-79W battery must be ordered with the New 454's,examples do exist today that show they were ordered with the R-59 Top post battery origianlly.It was not as Mandatory as they led us to believe.

The incorrect stainless pedal trim and other hicups I see aside,I think this Chevelle is a nice looking ride as it stands.
