Now I can finish - my brother bought the l78 convertible in 1980-81. I remember him bringing it home on his ramp truck. It had the 396 's on it and the first thing i asked "it that the real thing". He bought it off a guy who thrashed it and blew the motor. My brother started to restore it and lost interest. It sat in a barn since then and is still in that barn- nice and dry. I bought if from him in 98' and have been prepairing the parts for a complete resto. There is however no documentation and the original owner cannot be located. The car has zero rust - just needs a little lovin'. it has the 814 alt 6,000 grand tach, deep groove pulleys, 373 rear end, 4 speed, wood wheel and a bunch of other goodies and enough new old stock to do the whole car. I will have it done in 2 years.
