Yeah, I did read between the lines, but this was the closest 66 SS Chevelle that I could find, in regards to what you were looking for. And yes, if it was a L78, that would have been included in the description, along with #'s matching.
I also look for things left out in a description, but sometimes you just got to give them a call and double check. I will let you know if I come across any others.

I guess in my OLD age I am getting cynical
... ie.. there is one listed at TEAM CHEVELLE.. Marina Blue 66 SS Matching Numbers L-78.. Price = $25,000 Umm yeah, okay... so I tell my buddy, I am not even calling, b/c I know there is no way for $25K this is legit and the fact that it says it is a good car... so my bud calls and reports back to me the guy seems knowlegable and swears it is a 962 block, EG code and serial number matches VIN on door pillar too... then sends picture of the deck stamp... that's all I needed to see... not even close to what a 66 ATLANTA stamp looks like ![]() Heck they made 3099 of them in 66.. but what few are left are not for sale.. I have actually seen more 67 L-78's change hands in the last 5 yrs then 66's and they only produced 612 of those ![]() |

I have a friend in Seattle who has a 66 L-78, he has had it 30 plus years. For the Right Money he would sell it. But as he has Stated too me in the past, he Would not want too ever see it again.So with you Living on the other end of the country I will ask him if he still is interested in selling it. Wont be cheap. Here is some Info I know for a Fact: 1966 Chevelle 396/375 HP, Original Color Tripoli Turquoise,Currently 68 GTO Verdoro Green, All Original Car Except Paint. The Original Owner set a National Record with the Car in Pure Stock Class, I believe it is a M-20 or M-22 With 4.10s. If you want me too find out more let me know. I am going too Seattle,in two weeks.

Interesting read, I guess now numbers matching mean that the numbers match, original numbers matching mean that the parts are original and have matching numbers, what we now need to ask and look for is this phrase" All original, Numbers Matching, on all parts originally assembled on this particular car at the time this particular car was built" with this attached clause" No original numbers matching parts were created or added to this particular vehicle at anytime after this particular vehicle was assembled at the General Motors :>>insert specific factory here:<< factory as specified by these particular and original untouched, altered or removed in anyway vin and body tag codes and dates"
Phew...what are we coming to when you have to ask a question in that manner... ![]()
