'70 L78 Chevelle, Original Paint

[scuncio]

Not everyone's cup of tea when it comes to color combo, but a 35,000-mile original paint L78 with docs sounds pretty good to me.

Yeah, tell me about it...not a lot of effort went into that auction.

[combinefixer]

I'm in love. :drool:

[L78M22Rag]

I seem to recall this car listed some time ago... love the car. Original factory vinyl top too!

[NorCam]

Mentions the trans and rear are original but says nothing of the motor matching. Decent car IMO

[Charley Lillard]

"This Chevelle has the matching number engine with 35,500 original miles many inspection copies Showing very few miles each year." First sentence in the description.

[Crush]

So what do you guys think it’s worth? Currently at 32k

It was 4:45 AM when I got up so I guess I missed that all important line before commenting. Thanks for the correction. :scholar:

I like the gold with the saddle colored interior myself. Car has a lot going for it.

Its in my neighborhood if anyone is interested.

----Also says the vinyl top was replaced. Be better looking (IMHO) if the top went black.......Bill S

[WILMASBOYL78]

Am I seeing things....looks like the fuel lines are copper :blush:

[olredalert]

----Believe you are correct. Someone buy it before major damage.......Bill S

[Mr70]

But it wouldn't be correct as delivered.
Came with a Gold top as is shown.

[L78steve]

I would still go with the black top. It will better match with the stripes.

[big gear head]

I'd paint it red with black stripes and a black top and put black interior in it. :laugh: Just joking. I could live with it like it is, except that copper fuel line would have to go.

[Mr70]

I would still go with the black top. It will better match with the stripes.


But there's sooooo many blk V/tops out there already.I like the contrast as well as the originality of what it came with.
I could count on my hands the number of Gold V/tops I've seen on a '70 SS.

[L78steve]

I know it is different. It would have to grow on me.

Thanks for setting me straight. I saw that the seams in the vinyl top were in the correct location... must have been replaced early on? I like the colors.

[Bill Pritchard]

IMO, it would be better looking if the vinyl top was gone and the roof was painted body color. I'm not a big fan of vinyl tops.

Did it have a price in the Craigslist ad?

[L78steve]

Is the correct pattern Gold vinyl roof available? What's on there now no where near correct.

[combinefixer]

I believe it was 50k.

[L78M22Rag]

Thanks for setting me straight. I saw that the seams in the vinyl top were in the correct location... must have been replaced early on? I like the colors.

I was looking at the two seams correctly located at the joint between the trunk filler panel and the quarters. Now that I’ve looked at it more closely, I see it only has one seam in the vinyl top along the ridge of the roof... never noticed that before.

[Sean]

It does not look correct to me. I have seen a few cars with that color in person looks nice. Rather see it as a hardtop but that is the way it came. You just don't see to many l78's. Now if that l78 was fathom green I would buy it in a heart beat lol. (my favorite color)

And copper fuel line??????!!!!!!!!!!

[WILMASBOYL78]

We owned an Autumn Gold L78 Nova...solid color/no top. It was a real plain jane car...perfect granny look. But, when you pushed the right pedal, oh baby :burnout:

[sixt9rsx33]

I believe it was 50k.
I agree
