I looked at this car a few years ago when it was for sale in the local auto trader. I think it was in Mars PA then. Colussy was just a few miles away from Yenko. Colussy has a all Chevrolet show in the summer...BKH

I contacted Colussy to see if they kept any additional records on my car. They were responsive and courteous to my request. Very refreshing. After researching their files unfortunately, no records.

Alright - I got bumped from the 1st page

(probably when I offered the free Nova)! Gotta do something drastic. Must make room for my new project. <font color="blue"> L78 price is reduced to $51K.</font> Check out pictures at:

Original documentation includes its Protecto Plate, two Build Sheets, Owner’s Manual with all maintenance and repair record stickers (thru 64,100 miles), and receipts. Each oil change is documented. It has 71,000 original documented miles. This SS was delivered to Colussy Chevrolet (still in business) in Bridgeville, PA on 16 June 1969 to Mr. James Fife. James was an aviator who had recently returned from Vietnam when he ordered his car. He went on to a career as a pilot with a major commercial airline. Condition: Paint, Interior, Engine Bay, and Trunk are in very nice shape. Undercarriage is undercoated but very solid. Motor pulls strongly.

Hi Sam,

I know this is dredging up old memories, but do you have any pictures of this previous car?

Sounds like it was a real looker.

Thanks Bruce.

Olympic Gold is very very high on the list of colors for my next 69 Chevelle.

This gorgeous 69 only helps that selection.

Ryan - I have regular photos back in AZ that I will attempt to scan when i return to AZ in mid November. Black interior looks great surrounded by Oly Gold.

Ryan,

I have some photos as well, will try and remember to bring them to work tomorrow and scan them.

Not only was that a nice looking Chevelle it also was a nice running L78, ran like they are capable of.
