Re: Possible L78 69 Pace Car Barn Find
If the original tranny is in the car then check the Hydra-Matic tag(pass side)...that will tell you..CX code would be used with the L78 engine....very cool find..!!

Re: Possible L78 69 Pace Car Barn Find
Thanks for the comments and suggestions to help determine if it is in fact an L78 car. The car was here in Texas about 5 mils from my house. The seller had the car for 15 years so I don't really know it's history before that. Unfortunately....for me, I was not the primary buyer on this deal. I tried like hell to weasel in on it but a good friend ended up with the car. At least I know that it will be brought back to the same condition as in it's glory days.
