This car with all of it's documentation , condition and all of it matching numbers would make a great trailered show car. I got a question on the trades just now . Any 1970 to 1972 GM A body that is documented , any 1970 SS Nova that is documented and any Ford product would be considered . Thanks for the question..

Very nice car. Love the colors and lack of stripes. Gives it a very upscale look for a classic musclecar. Best of luck with the sale.

Brings back some memories as I recall seeing several of these cars in the Tricentennial parade in Charleston. I was a 7 year old kid and had a Kodak instamatic camera and have some parade photos somewhere of those cars.
Documented 1970 Chevelle SS examples have been found in L-34,LS-5 & LS-6 form.
Can't say I've heard about any L-78's though,so they must have been ordered later on in production after that RPO was cancelled from the line up.

Wow! That is a hell of a car for $45k. Obviously, one could not build it for that money. Great colors, etc. and very well done restoration.
I hate to say that I would be all over it if it were a 4 speed.
Very nice car, best of luck.
