I looked at this car sevaral times. Real nice resto, but way over done with markings. The dealer does the paint daubs when he gets the cars in. It was very difficult to see the pad numbers. Lots of paint, and behind the alt on 69's. It started right up and sounded nasty with the solid lifters and cambered exhaust. No paper except resto receipts, and a note from the "original owner" stating it's authenticity. But how would you know it's legit if you can't prove it's from the original owner? He told me last time I was there he was looking for $70,000.... I thought it was a lot of cash for a car with no docs.

I can verify this to be a real L78 with its original #'s matching engine, I have owned this car for 8 yrs. I challenge anyone on this site to look at the engine stamp and tell me it is not correct. The block has never been decked and there is some light pitting on the pad, but the VIN is definitely there and you can read it without moving the alternator.

Over restored Under restored Never a happy Medium... Real car that sounds nasty. Original owner and brother went down to Sutliff Chevrolet on his 21st B - Day and bought twin L78's one being this Chevelle and an RS/SS Camaro both brand new and he blew his brothers door's off with this chevelle.

I like all the marks...some don't some do....you may think it's overdone but I got to tell you ...I have a 64 untouched Belair that has a damn book written on the firewall...both sides...I can only imagine what the underside looked like but it has a coat of surface rust....they may have put less on them come 69 but there must have been plenty...
