Anyone know this L78 Pace Car

[al8apex]

I owned SEVERAL of these cars and compiled a database of serial numbers (~ 75) in the 70's, this one is not in the file

N609339 was a 396 4 speed as well, not sure of the hp of 339 though

they never really say the car is an ORIGINAL L78 ... and it is odd that it has an M-20 ... the real L78's had and M-21 or a M-22, so MAYBE the car IS a real big block, just not an L78 ...

deep groove pulleys appear to be missing as is the convertible underbody tie pan ... plus other issues such as wrong rear stripes ... I would do a onsite inspection of this one, a lot seems to be glossed over .. recovered headrests ... I'll stop now

L-78's certainly came with M-20 trans as well. I formally owned a documented '69 SS L-78 convertible that Charley Lillard previously owned as well. The trans was an M-20 and original to the car. The car also had a buildsheet confirming it was an M-20. I currently have a documented L-78 Pace car with the original M-20 as well. I think M-20's in L-78's are not that uncommon.

They listed the engine code of JH which is a 375 hp code along with saying this cars VIN is stamped on it.

and we all know that if the VIN is stamped on it it MUST be the original, right ? ...
