1968 Chevelle L79 Convertible

[1969camarors427]

Does anyone know how many 68 Chevelle Malibu L79 Convertibles were made. I am looking at a chevelle convertible right now and the original drive train is all gone, The car is a standard transmission car, disc brakes, 6000 rpm redline factory tach and has a 3/8 fuel line. It is a US car. Any other things to look for to determine if it is a real L79 car. Thanks.

Did you mean L78 or L79?

The guy said it was a factory L79 car. It was suppose to have raced at New England Dragway. There is a decal in the window that looks quite old,it is a orange/yellow color with class winner on the center and New England Dragway around the class winner part, not sure of the year. Thanks

If the car is not an SS then I don't know what else it could be.No other SBC would be redlined by GM that high.Very rare car if it is real.You might contact the L79 Registry.

Wasn't there a post here recently with a car that fits this description? Maybe 2-3 months back?

I have searched everywhere on this site and the Chevelle site and cannot find anything on the car. If anyone can find it please let me know. Thanks
