Re: 1967 L78
Two more makes seven correct. There are more L-88's and more ZL1's then 67 4k convertibles. Is there another GM muscle car with so few examples existing today.

There are fewer known 66 and 67 L78 Chevelle convertibles known today. I believe the number of documented 66 L78 Convertibles known is 3. I have never seen a real documented 67 L78 Chevelle convertible but one is apparently scheduled to run through Mecum.

1967 L78
'
Considering the '67 L78 Trim Tag designation, you'd think the survival rate percentage of cars built would be higher for 67's than 69's...both being equal w/ other factors such as verifiable Original Components/Stampings/Paperwork/Pop's etc? [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/hmmm.gif[/img] ~ Pete

Re: 1967 L78
Pete,
I agree that a higher percentage of '67s have to be known because of the trim tag call out. With 1138 L78s produced we'd know of many more rags if they represented 10% of production. It seems in the higher performance engines that a lower % of rags is the norm. Factor that with a higher survival rate of rags and my guess is that fewer than 5% were built. It could even be much lower than that. Lets estimate 25 known cars and an 80% survival rate and you end up with a production number less than 3%. Of course it's all guess work but it seems pretty clear that the '67 L78 rags are some of the rarest high performance cars of the era.
