-----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,

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.

-----This L78 would be a good runner with the wide-ratio and 3:55 gears along with the 375hp. Nice combo for a bit of extra pep over an M21.......Bill S

Have you ridden in an L78 car that can run 11.70s and is driven on the street regularly. Our L78 might run mid to low 13s on a good day. The owner just put together a '68 Camaro that is stock looking, streetable, and ran 10.60s first time out. The guy is pretty meticulous. It looks like the Chevelle has a buyer as I write this. He's getting a good car.

I have a 1970 L78 convertible 4 spd being restored. Original build sheet, but born with engine is long gone. However, I do have an incredibly rare 70 L78 block. No need to tell you how rare this car is. I will price it reasonable in its current partially restored state if interested.

Thanks,Sean
