Default Re: 1970 Chevelle L-78 convertible production numbers

I recently saw a copy of a VVS report from George that, in addition to the model number production total, also gave an approximate number of the model produced with a given engine RPO. Here is an excerpt:


__________________
1969 Chevelle SS396 L78 M22 4:10 Tuxedo Black
1970 LS3 Malibu 400 BB convertible
1970 LS3 Malibu 400 BB coupe

1970 Chevelle Concours Estate LS3 400 BB wagon
1970 Chevelle SS396 L78 M21 3:55 Tuxedo Black

That's really cool Rainer & Pete,never seen that before.Hats off to GZ for including that.

George,I meant to say the 14 were US sold,as opposed to US assembled as we know Oshawa,Ont. didn't assemble them.
Price?..I've seen frame off restored 1970 L-78 cvts. w/good bones,color & options sell at public auctions for $135-160K and some of those didn't have the best quality craftsmanship or correct early components.They only produced the L-78 Chevelle for the first 90 days of the 1970 model year.
Privately sold,I know of a few that brought significantly more.If some take the time to do their homework,dial them in and be true to their original assembled heritage,they can bring closer to 200K,but everything has to be in order.
