I think he meant to say "396" and not 395, so it wasn't a suggestion that 395 L78s were automatics.

The Gold was at last years LS6 display and is owned by Brian D. It is real and has real paperwork. The owner of the original selling dealer was located a few years ago along with original paperwork. Awesome car.

----And the back story was even more unbelieveable. The kid who ordered the car thought he was ordering aluminum valve covers. When the car came in he was really irritated that it was ordered wrong. I think the story board said that it was almost to the point of refusing the car. Am I right remembering that the dealer went out and got some aluminum valve-covers for him??? Even if wrong it made for a great story!!!.........Bill S

That is pretty wild. Altho, I might be upset too, paying the L89 option price for &quot;aluminum valve covers&quot;!!!! [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/crazy.gif[/img]

POSTSEDAN, That's ironic that you got those PHOTO'S of the two L-78s, the one without the vinyl is mine and the guy a purchased it from out of Downingtown Pa owned both of them. I bought the one without the vinyl top freshly restored and the sister L-78 to mine was Eric's wife's car. I have a photo to post. Steve [img:center][/img] [img][/img]
