Gotta agree with the others here, as that car is SWEET! No muss, no fuss on those babies...just the necessities!! I'm assuming the L-79 wasn't available in '69, when they went to 350 power? Any idea what that car would weigh??

That combo has Pure Stock Drags written all over it! I can see it now...battling it out against it's HOT small block A-body cousins the W-31s and 350HOs!! Awesome...

Nice Sedan car with some great options. I bet it's a knock-out in person with that Fathom Blue paint -too bad we can't tell in the pics, it looks black.

Rob
I am not sure what it weighs. This is a no frills car. It hasnt been done very long and I havent had it out to test out the L-79. The motor was built to stock specs. L-79's are an incredible motor.

Hey Mike;
I think the frame you saw in GA was Rick Wilson's Seqoua green 68 L-79 chevelle. His has A/C and a 3 speed! I showed my frame at the ACES show a couple of years ago.

So, was '68 the last year for the L-79? Was the hottest small block in '69 in the A-bodies the 350/300?

That car is KILLER !

I agree with Rob ..... Pure Stock Drags would be an excellent "next step" with that beauty ......
