Re: L-78 engine Birth date
One actually sitting in a barn about two miles from me all apart. Been there apart since 1981. Red conv, red and white interior, side pipes and knock offs, 4spd. Original l-78 /425 motor had a noise in it but original. He paid 2500 for it in 81. Reason I remember was I looked at it first and wanted the motor out of it for my chevelle but backed off when I heard it running. Imagine DAAAAAAAAA. Must have been the beaver also Pete that hit me. Joking aside I was just a kid working for 2.00 per hour that was a lot of money to me.
It was out sitting in three feet of snow that day.I actually told him about it and he bouight it. He has a few cars all of which he eventually does the pro stock thing to like his 57 chev, 69 GTO. 40 Ford pick up and some year essex?? 30 maybe. So far he has not seen the vette in that light, hope he never does while at the same time will never sell it or restore it.
