What area of Fresno did you find the car in? I grew up there and I do not remember many L78 or LS6 cars when I was growing up.

The 69 L78 El Camino that Bill Rose restored was stored a little north off of Clovis ave. and the 67 Z/28 that Charley had was stored not too far from there also. There are still good cars to be found in that area.

No need to be sorry. But the chances dont lie. Mathematics says 1 in 119 chance it was equipped with L89 option.

Maybe chances don't lie, but they can mislead. Use standard statistical analysis to determine the probable number built of a certain combination of colors and options.

Assume you are standing next to an L89, black, with red interior and AM/FM. Also assume (for purposes of illustration) the L89 is 1:119, and all the other options are 1:10. The mathematical odds that this particular combination exists is 119 X .10 X .10 X .10 = .119. The probability that the car you are staring at actually exists, is 1:0.119....essentially 1 of none. Can't be, because you are looking at one in front of you! The math didn't lie, but......

I remember the original 435 69 vette barn find I bought w wrong motor...we were sure it was a 435 car, but the original L 88 hood that was on the car for years made me very anxious until I actually pulled the tank....

I know your feeling !!! Great find and great car !!
