Spectacular Car. I am curious as to the difference between the "CKK" rear and the "CRW" rear. Both are 4.10 rears. My LS-6 has the "CRW" 4.10 posi rear.

Paging MR70

The difference between the 2 rear ends is the CKK uses the smaller u-joint and the CRW uses the larger rear u-joint, which means they get different rear end yokes. I believe all 454 cars weather it was a LS5 or LS6 should have recieved the rear end with the larger yoke.

Couple of questions. Was the open element AF available for the LS5? Did the Lakewood plant make convertibles? If so why would a Florida delivered (per BS) LS5 vert come from Baltimore. Not throwing any spears here. Just curious. Nice looking car.

Thanks

Open element for cars w/o cowl induction,but having AC as the dual snorkle would hit the ac compressor...410s with air conditioning,never happened.....looks like a black car w black stripes????????????????????????????????????? 2 co6 options,i never saw BKT like that..

i've been in and out of that dealership 200 times... my dad's office was 9 blocks from there, same street, we went past it virtually everyday... a friend of mines dad had a Z16 that he bought new from there, yellow/black/white guts. That dealer knew someone upstairs cause they got some one-off perf. equip car's that nobody else could seem to get.... a couple of my longtime friends still today, worked there in that timeframe in parts and service...

wow, cool car....

Paul Spencer??? hmmmmmmm... rings a bell....

4.10's with a/c? now, that's a first..............

CKK was available with a L-78 . Look at the order book You absolutely could not get a 4:10 with A/C . Rick chime in. The A/C compresor would not take the RPM's. Fishy to say the least. Nice car but!!!!!!!. Too many aged build sheets and fake protect-plates out there. Jim

That car(along with a cortez LS6 rag with similar aged sheet)ran through ebay a couple of weeks ago-heads up thread on TC tag team for anyone considering-good looking car none the less!

Sam-
side note on paper - not to change the subject, I have the orig window sticker for the T/A that shows the car was/?? delivered on the east coast new and was factory transfered out here to Seattle, kinda odd but its the original sticker and it shows the transfer at the top of it. I guess it was re-routed for demand by GM???

any dealer trade I have ever seen they sell it with the sticker with the original dealers name on it,just a interesting tid bit to file away.

now back to the Chevelle.
