From the auction wording: "This Chevelle has received a very detailed nut and bolt frame off restoration to a level that most cars never receive."

Which apparently includes the incorrect grilles over the cowl vents, an a/c upper radiator hose, chrome piping on the edge of the bucket seat bottoms, and the wrong master cylinder :(

And the seats bolted on top of the carpet ......

looks awesome. Depending on what he wants all this small stuff is easy fix.

I was referring to Ls6owners Q about the single letter "L" on the bottom used in '70.

so is this trim tag correct for this car?

This probably deserves its own post, but is there enough evidence now to conclusively say an "L" on Kansas and Baltimore 69 tags denotes SS? Just as we are with X codes on 69 Camaros. IMO I believe so on Kansas cars, unsure on Baltimore as I haven't seen as many Balt tags as Kan tags, but there are far better minds here than I.

Different L, same meaning.

I still think the tag looks too crisp but would like others to chime in with opinions.

IMO, the 1969 Baltimore L is just as conclusive and the one found on 1970-72 KC cars.

My guess is that the TT is original to the car, but the car has been cloned into an SS396. The only 'evidence' the seller is relying on to try and justify it being an SS396 is a non-pictured engine block stamping, and I think we all know what a risky assumption that is. Cloned or real, it is indeed a nice looking car with a number of common 'restoration' mistakes that are fairly easily corrected.
