That's Jim Idziors' 1970 Gold/Black Chevelle.
It won best MODIFIED at the NCOA Showdown here in 1997.
Notice the firewall & underhood are painted body color,among other incorrect factory details..
A real nice guy,who told me then he made it into an L-78,as it did NOT originally come from the factory as an L-78.Notice the M-22 trans,which was NOT possible on the L-78 1970 Chevelle either.
It is a nice Chevelle,and priced fairly I believe for what it is,but it's NOT one of the 2144 1970 L-78 Chevelles' originally produced,or a concours correct restoration for those interested in finding one.
Champagne Gold is one of my favorites..

-----I dont mean to be negative, but nowhere in the add on this gold car does it say that its an original 375hp car. Just makes you wonder......Bill S

-----Whoa,,,Rick beat me to the punch !!!!

Rick,
beat me to it.
I was just going to say that ebay ad is not an L-78.
it was built after my car that was built third week of Dec.

Thanks to canadian ssl78 & Northernforce for letting me get the details of the Toronto classifed L-78 close up.

For those curious,seller said it's got a 1970 L-78 Nova block(as the original blew up),& a Borg-Warner T-10 trans,but does retain the original 3:55 posi rearend.
It's a idiot light gauge cluster,which George Z. confirms,but the car has a console in it now,which George isn't showing as original equipment,(RPO D-55),which was very possible & quite unique for a Bucket seat 4 spd.
Noting other somewhat unique options for these Chevelles:
Power windows-Washer jar level indicator-Rear defogg-R-79 Side post battery-Auxillary lighting.
