Via the db, just shy of 20% of 67 L78's are convertibles.
Interesting, that's also true for 69.

20% is approx 220 cars, the 9 cars listed equals less than 5% still remaining today. There may be more cars yet to be discovered, but I don't think the number will increase by much, maybe 1 or 2. Thanks Kurt for the information. That leaves approx 900 coupes that were built, any guess how many coupes are known to exist today.

Friend of mine has a red on red L78 coupe with 22K original miles and 1 repaint. Car is amazing.Sold out of Reedman in Langhorn Pa. Does anyone have an approximate date when the first batch of 67L78 cars were built? Just curious.

I believe there are about 50 l78 verts accounted for. Couple of guys say they have them on their private registry

I spoke to Kurt tonight. He meant 20% of the L78's he has in his database, not GM production records.

Zedder: Any more info on the gold car on c-list, did you see a pic of the trim tag ? Unofficial count of twelve is a long way from 50. Of the 20% number from CRG does the private registry confirm 50 that were built or 50 still remaining today ?
