I guess I should add that the car is all original, never rusted (california car) sheet metal, with I believe to be one complete repaint. Paint shows excellent. It has never been frame offed. But done as needed. With the enigne, trunk and interior all being excellent!!
I have most of the casting and part #s written down. At least the ones I could find or get at.
Heads and alternator are original date coded and correct
Carb is correct, but dated about 4 months after the car.
Shifter is the popular and common switch to the Hurst.

If you are seriously considering the car, call or email me and i will describe further.
Also, don't wait, because the car is headed for Russo and Steele in Scotsdale. Save us both the money and hassel and buy a nice drivable, documented L-78 car that is real with paperwork.

Hi all, Charlie,who used to own this L-78 reminded me that 2 weeks into its life the guy smacked the front and so the front clip was replaced in 68. Obvioulsy this makes the the front "original" replacment metal. Car though is strait as an arrow and drives perfect. Never any rust and never hacked up. (Besides speakers in the kick panels) (see interior shot) Anyway, great car and I am gonna let it go quickly. don;t miss out on a California, documented 4spd, mostly original , #a matching drive train L-78 car!

John

Also if you want more pictures it is easier to email than to post as some of the files are too large.

I take it that the sale went through? If so, I regret you posted that final chance on and around Thanksgiving. :-( If not, contact me, please. Thanks.
