Re: 66 or 67 SS Chevelle L-78
Thanks for keeping an eye out.. but this 66 at Purebreed is just another "USED TO BE" 66 SS.. has no more value to me than any other restored 66 SS, well check that.. this is a poor job at best, so has less value I guess
 There is no way to Prove the car here was REALLY an orig. L-78 car and even if there was paper on it, the original engine is gone.. it is no longer what it used to be .. thems just the facts  Appreciate the eyes Mike

Re: 66 or 67 SS Chevelle L-78
Whoa,cool car. While the early L78s in Corvettes were rated at 425hp, I have never noticed this on '66 Chevelles. I hope the docs are a more real than the factory A/C set up

Re: 66 or 67 SS Chevelle L-78
Hmmmmm, let's see - factory would not add P/S because it was a 425 HP car. Hmmmmm - looks like a nice Pontiac power antenna setup as well. Hmmmm, Hmmmm, Hmmmm........
Can't wait for Mike to make a comment about this car, if he feels it is appropriate to comment  Of course, I am always willing to learn and not discount anything.

Re: 66 or 67 SS Chevelle L-78
-------This red 66 is a beautiful car with issues. To me, both sets of rivets are wrong. The tach has the wrong redline. Am I wrong that I think that the twelve-bolt rear-end cover was installed upside down. As well, shouldnt the wheels be body-colored??? What havent I seen???...........Bill S

Re: 66 or 67 SS Chevelle L-78
If it's a real 375hp it should have an idler pulley...
The car looks really cool, though

Re: 66 or 67 SS Chevelle L-78
Bill's right, Diff cover upside down, if the front wheels are straight....then the wood wheel is upside down also.....wrong radio knobs.....looks like the turn signal mechanism has some issue also......looks like a nice throw together and should be in my garage......lol

Re: 66 or 67 SS Chevelle L-78
a $40K car IF it looks as good in person as in photos. If it were a REAL 66 L-78, the price is a great deal IMO., but HIGHLY doubt it.. So many problems, doesn't appear to have Correct Square port Heads, No Idler pulley, No pics of teh deck stamp, No pics or response to all the extensive owner hx., 27K miles and they lost the all of the correct parts I guess.. No spiral Shocks, wrong exhaust, spash pan painted wrong, Wheels should be body color, camps are all wrong, Pedals are wrong, Radio Knobs wrong, hurtin lookin heater control, Dog dishes are painted incorrectly, exhaust manifold bolts are wrong, rear diff bolts, suffice to say, lots of detail mistakes.. and the VIN rivets are repro, TRIM TAG rivets from ACE HARDWARE
Good luck to anyone bidding.. Buyer Beware is all I can say. MC
