Re: Who said these 1970 L78 Chevelle`s were rare?
POSTSEDAN, That's ironic that you got those PHOTO'S of the two L-78s, the one without the vinyl is mine and the guy a purchased it from out of Downingtown Pa owned both of them. I bought the one without the vinyl top freshly restored and the sister L-78 to mine was Eric's wife's car. I have a photo to post. Steve

Beautiful cars with a 'love it or hate it' color combination. I kind of like them as you don't see them everyday in that combination.

I like them both.
The tan interior with forest green is a nice color combo. [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/biggthumpup.gif[/img]

Re: Who said these 1970 L78 Chevelle`s were rare?
Two super nice rides. Saw Mr. Orrs in person at CB. You gotta love the 70 L78's.
Micheal, Tupelo,MS has one of the even rarer 395 Automatics. This car is ultimate "Sleeper". Gold, no stripes, no cowl induction. Bench, shift on the colum. He's going to break it out one of these days. Can't wait to see the finished product.

Just curious. Where did you get a break down of 4-speeds vs. automatics?

Daniel Carrs 1968-1972 Chevrolet A Body Production Totals. Chevelle Coupe 1582 Manual <span style="font-weight: bold">395</span> Automatic This may be incorrect. Just working off of his numbers.

Re: Who said these 1970 L78 Chevelle`s were rare?
That's just a guesstimate by Dan Carr,and not actual.
Extrapolation does not work when talking about actual optioned vehicles produced.There are just too many variables to consider. They made 2144 1970 L-78 coupe & cvt. Chevelles & Elcaminos,and that does NOT include the 18 w/Al.head L-89 option. Although the ratio for Auto. vs. M/T is low,no one knows for certain.
