Default 70 L78 Buildsheet

Im looking to get some opinions on this buildsheet. I recently purchased the car knowing the sheet could be fake, it was one of those now or never deals and i didnt want to pass on it. The car has had 2 owners in the last 20 years.

&quot;Rear&quot; block reads &quot;KF&quot;. Should this read &quot;CKF&quot; for a 1970 rear code vs. a two letter code for '69 Chevelles and earlier? However, KF or CKF is correct for 3.55 ratio positraction which is called out in lower half of BS. BS otherwise looks good to me, but I defer to the EXPERTS! [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/scholar.gif[/img]

Looks legit.
Your rear &amp; engine code are correct,they didn't use the full 3 letter suffix on the BS for these.
I think I know this Cortez NA-9 car,good bones.

I have copys of 2 Van Nuys sheets and I see some discrepancies but I'll wait and see what others say. That sheet looks artificially aged IMO.

I compared it to my Van Nuys build sheet and also see some differences although minor. The brightness of the print is the biggest red flag for me.

I appreciate the input. The answers are all over the place and I don't want to falsely market the car.

Looks OK to me too.* My previously owned '70 LS5 Chevelle Convertible was built a few weeks later than this one but at the Van Nuys facility. My buildsheet font was a bit darker as well.

* comparing to photo &amp; copy of my original that is now with new owner.

Got the NCRS. This buildsheet is FAKE. Build sheet states Davies Chevy as selling dealer, NCRS states Bale Chevy
