Re: 1969 l78 Convertible Califonia Desert Car
 Decklid after a few minutes of rubbing on it with a clay bar . What looked like Rust was really a layer of dirt

Re: 1969 l78 Convertible Califonia Desert Car
Great new addition Dave. If you purchased that from who I think you did it is an even better score as he does not sell many cars and tough enough to get parts from. He had a survivor L89 convert the last time I talked to him.
I agree with Bill, you two could be brothers!

Re: 1969 l78 Convertible Califonia Desert Car
Rick the guy I bought it from liked to tell guys it was a l89 but really its a l78 and it was a real pain getting the parts from the guy I flew to Los angeles every Friday after work 4 weekends in a row sometimes getting home at 1am on Sunday then worked the next day . Digging for all the parts every time I was there . the owner would say we will dig out parts this week for you but he never did . After I had a pile of plastic tubs full my buddy in the picture Jim drove my truck out and we loaded the car and parts and hit the road .
