Talked with Gary the last owner and he took the car apart in 1977. Its been stored in a garage ever since. My dad purchased the car as a roller in 1988

So all things considered, we are going to put a 427 together ( we have block and crank ) and dress it like it would have been as a day two car. Headers, intake and carb. When its all finished what kind of value on this car ?

Second ad

I just noticed the "STICK CITY" dealer name under this ad. Pretty cool name for performance dealer.

Put the vin in a couple vintage decoders and this came back. Has to be a fluke?

Yes it is a fluke.. I put in 69 VIN with bogus last 6 numbers and got the same result.

No question in my mind it is an L78. Did you find out the selling dealer via NCRS (link I posted above)?

I previously posted that here in central NC carolina blue was very popular in the 60,s and 70,s, There Chevelles, Camaro,s, Nova,s, and Monte Carlo,s around here that were original paint cars. Back then we did not even know what a trim tag was about. A 68 Chevelle L78 ordered Carolina Blue is still near here near Burlington NC. The UNC at Chapel fans were ordering them through Harris Conner Cheverolet CH NC. And Carpenter Cheverolet in Durham NC.
