I had heard that one of the L78 rags was legit, but it's build sheet had been altered to reflect the addition of options or something like that. Is this true?

One had 1 option added. But it was never falsified on the buildsheet- at least not the buildsheet that the car had back then....

All this talk about the Convertible is very Interesting. I have seen the car personally before and after resto, nice car. I dont know why Chuck sold it, he Really liked that car. On the same theme how Rare do you think a 70 El-Camino L-78 Would be?

a 1970 L78 Elky is pretty rare, I bought one last fall , and after doing some research based on the ratios from 1968 and using the L78 engine production of 2144 for 1970 I kinda came up with a "Guesstimate" of about 237 L78 Elky's were made in 1970. I'd like to know anybody elses's estimates ?? I may be out to lunch,Does Dan Carr's poster have any info on them ?

From a statistical POV, I think Carr's numbers make sense. But I also believe there are certain weights that must be applied to each vehicle. For one thing, I think the buyer of an El Camino has a lower propensity to be interested in an ultra-high performance vehicle. Hence, I believe the numbers for L78 El Caminos are much less.

Stefano -

This may not be the car you are seeking info on but there can't be too many Fathom Blue L78 converts roaming around. This is the 2nd one located in Des Moines that has hit ebay in the last 30 days (2 different owners). The red one on this thread being the other. This owner has a couple of other nice ones listed on ebay as well. I may have to take a peek at these cars next weekend.
