I really wanted to own it in the clone form when I saw it at Volo. It would have been hard to change it back. I can't remember if the the 396 block that came with it was original to the car.

First thought to be sold new from El Bauer Chevrolet in Decatur,then later thought to be from Miles (or Fahrenbach) Chevrolet in Decatur,now said to be sold new from Fred Gibb in LaHarpe? How did they confirm that?
Here is when it was for sale on here. https://www.yenko.net/forum/showthread.php?p=1177559

Great info and Gibb provenance must be a more recent NCRS result.
Original Build Sheet must not include dealer info also note L78 Registry listing updated 10/20.
Funny how it's come full circle from LS6 Harrel clone to actually being a Gibb car.

Before being restored Mic Price owned that car in southern IL

You're right Pete.Even the Registry it's listed in,isn't lending much credence to the recent Fred Gibb claim.
10/28/2020....FRED GIBB CHEVROLET - LA HARPE, IL (See Note 1)
(Note 1) Documentation supplied by current or former owner and may or may not be legitimate. (If there is a link here it will link to a page of the car's history/story.)

I think I sent Darrin a orig. spare for that car. Non orig. engine. Nice car.

There is another L78 with the same color combination. Here is a trim tag to confirm it. It is a Norwood built car. The talked about here is a vanuys built car. I hope the Fred Gibb works out to be true for the car. If not I feel it will tarnish it forever.
