I got to thinking about this (dangerous sometimes) and I am trying to find a few pictures of 1970 tags I have. I remember clearly seeing the L78 on the 70 tag and I thought I saw one (1970) with Z27L78. It could have been a late car but not sure.

Another I have seen (and I have the picture) is the designation in two locations. One next to the build date i.e. 05EL78 (which would have made me believe it was both SS codes together) and by itself under the paint code. Why would that be?

Also a good point was brought up that the SS did have 3 different option codes, L48, L34 and L78 for 1970. Was just the engine RPO used throughout 1970 or was the SS RPO Z27 used for the L48 option and other tags had just L34 and L78 to designate the higher option? I would like to see some different 1970 SS tags.

As a side not the seller has updated his auction to say he's not sure if it is a BB because he is not familiar with these cars. I agree that it is just a base car but it does have potential.
