Neat special order Orange 70 Chevelle

[Rainer]

Dan Carr at Team Chevelle has taken the actual figures posted by Rick and estimated the breakdown into Chevelle models. The vast majority of the LS3 engines (7456) found their way into Monte Carlos in 70. Estimates are that another 1237 were installed in 2-door Malibus (810 autos, 427 manuals). For 2-door standard Chevelles (13437 series), estimates are 47 (31 auto, 16 manual), and for ragtops, 28 are estimated to have been built.

Rob - With the exception of the special paint, this car was ordered with options readily available on any Chevelle. The Chevrolet zone memo from Oct '69 announcing the LS6 and the cancellation of the L78 makes mention of the LS3 availability in any Chevelle. Its highly unlikely that other combos (e.g., L78, LS5, LS6) would have ever been installed in a non-SS Chevelle.
