eBay '70 Chevelle L78 - LS6?

Great info Rick....sure looks like it's worth looking deeper at this being an LS6! . If true and although an ugly duckling now, considering that beaten one that went for twenty'ish last week, the BIN would be a great grab? . Sure wish I could afford it right now....have fun fellas'! ~ Pete

Rick, I have the below CKO long block with VIN stamped on bellhouing flange as you can see. The plant location letter did not strike the block. Assy date on deck reads early Nov/69.
Willma has told me " I have never seen a vin near the oil filter on a Nova BB engine...only stamp is on the front pad by the pass cyl head."
Camaro VIN's all started with number 5. By process of elimination could you agree that I have a Chevelle L-78 engine????

The W in my caption below is NOT readable. I incorrectly guessed and letter can NOT be read!!!!!

Chuck
It looks like it's either from a Chevelle or Nova Originally.
It looks like a Willow Run plant,showing just \ for the begining of the W.
If that's not it,it would have to be the letter,A or B or F or K or L.But I would lean towards L,as I've seen more Van Nuys L stamped down by the Oil filter out of those plant letters I mentioned,but it doesn't look like an L to me.

Do you think that car will be restored or did someone just buy a trim tag and some misc. pieces?

**Mr70** · #6 03-10-2006, 07:45 PM

I really don't know,but at that price I would imagine & hope the buyer will keep the tags attached to it.

Considering last week's car had a build-sheet, I'd expect someone plans a resto? .

This week's ugly one (if LS6) sure has a whole lot more car for the dough....stick too! . Ghastly 'customizing' aside, it appears unmodified and would be a fun afternoon going through it, checking for the build-sheet, rear axle code etc! .

Who is 'ZL1camaro1969' on it now....someone from here?

Update, at $6900 and only 21 hours to go....and nobody brave enough to hit the BIN? .
I wonder if last weeks $22K car is gonna' get fixed or it's planned for identity theft? .
