L78 on LMC

**Xplantdad** · #1 10-07-2004, 06:01 AM

I got an email from the person who bought this car? or the one before it from Legendary. He found my email via Kevin Suydam's site.

Here's the email he sent to me:

Finished in the factory colour of Tuxedo black with a black bucket interior. Powered by the numbers matching 396ci/375hp, L78 engine and a four speed transmission, power brakes, radio delete, dog dish rims with red line tires. A very rare Nova that is rust-free and has documentation (protect-o-plate). The resto is a few years old, but the car is still a nice head-turner, as you can see in the attached photos. This car war purchased at Legendary Motorcar Company. I have added a couple of guages, a tach and a points eliminator kit (still have points). If you haven't heard of Legendary, they do the TV show "Dream Car Garage" (http://www.legendarymotorcar.com/). They only deal in the real thing.

The interior is Excellent - The black bucket interior is in very good condition, with no evidence of wear at all. The seats, carpets, panels, and dash have been extremely well taken care of. The seats are in good condition with no rips or tears. There is a small tear in the passenger side sail panel, and the window whiskers need replacing.

The exterior speaks for itself in the attached photographs.

This car scored an 87 out of 100.
It would not take much to make this car perfect. It is a rare car since it is an L78, factory black, with buckets, 4-speed and radio delete. I am asking $60K USD.
Let me know if you want any particular photos of the car and I will send them to you.

I think that this is the same car that was advertised on this site over a year ago. The car was out of McHenry Illinois and was priced here at $26,500. I know that Legendary bought the car, so I assume that Mr. Patel is the current owner? The original post is #45066 dated 7/12/03, Cars for sale section.

Bel Air, I'd like to hear more about this "supply and demand" concept? Sounds a bit like this "capitalism" I keep hearing about. The Canadian government is working hard to eliminate the idea before it catches on.

I remember that black '70 when it was for sale.... and thinking that the shifter and floor hole looked funky, along with the right side of the speedometer area (where a clock might be).
