Re: 66 or 67 SS Chevelle L-78
A guy I went to high school with had a 67 Chevelle SS396 conv and I believe it was an original L78 car. He had it painted bright yellow and it had a black top. Everyone called it the bumble bee. Last time I talked to him I think he still had it but I have no idea if it had the original engine or if it had any numbers left on the engine. I don't think he had any documenation with it though.

Re: 66 or 67 SS Chevelle L-78
So if there was a 67 SS Chevelle convert with no engine but paperwork from Chevrolet engineering showing the car had a L88 427 installed it wouldn't excite you ? just a little bit ?

Re: 66 or 67 SS Chevelle L-78
I think were beating a dead horse here!!
 The man does not want a car without its original drivetrain. Ive met Mike in person and he seems like a nice guy! Everybody has their own thoughts on want they want in a car! When it comes to the non SUPERCAR world,I think people are less forgivin with non original engines! JMO

Re: 66 or 67 SS Chevelle L-78
About as excited as someone selling the Frame the Mona Lisa USED TO BE mounted in
 Sorry, Without that supposed Super Rare engine... it's just another 67 SS Conv., they made plenty.  I don't like to beat a horse, but at the very least, the add is getting more attention than it did in weeks  Thanks Don.Group hug! Mike Crown

Re: 66 or 67 SS Chevelle L-78
Thanks Tony, but I'd be willing to bet the Farm, Documented SS Hardtop only refers to it being a Real SS, if that was a REAL 375hp they would be making that CRYSTAL CLEAR and the price would reflect it...nothing in the add says Numbers Matching or Original drivetrain?? Just that it has a 375hp engine and you have to consider the source., read between the lines
 But again, Thank you for the effort.FWIW.. no such animal as Butternut Yellow in 66, or body color firewall for US Car.

Re: 66 or 67 SS Chevelle L-78
Yeah, I did read between the lines, but this was the closest 66 SS Chevelle that I could find, in regards to what you were looking for. And yes, if it was a L78, that would have been included in the description, along with #'s matching.
I also look for things left out in a description, but sometimes you just got to give them a call and double check. I will let you know if I come across any others.
