Re: WTB 70 LS5 or L78 Chevelle convertible
 

This is so sad: "I look at 10-12 LS6 Chevelles for clients around the country every year and on average 10 of them are fake and many new ones crop up every year!"

I also realize that B-J can't completely authenticate every car, but it STILL bothers me that they are willing to print bogus info on so many cars.
It wouldn't take much effort to at least weed out the cars with fake trim tags.

Good luck with your search Rick. Your clients are lucky to have you in their corner.

Hello Rick,

Bill Pankiw here from Elk Grove Village, Illinois. I was offered a 1970 LS-5 Coupe, original paint car from Texas last week. It's an original drive train LS-5 Th-400 Dark Gold color, factory a/c , buckets, console, tinted glass, Paper work, 80,000 mile, Arlington built March 1st week car? It has a light Tan interior that is NOT original (Legendary)and a Black original vinyl top & Black stripes. They are asking $55,000 for it & I think $45,000.00 Cash will buy it. I figured, if anyone would know someone interested, you would. It's the wrong color for me. Call me @ 1-847-254-7047 and I will give you the phone # of Dan Hansen the guy who is handling the sale for the widow of the owner

Sounds like a nice car Bill. I don't currently have any customers looking for coupes but will certainly pass along this information to people. Thanks for the info. I will call later today when I get a chance.

As far as I know,it wasn't possible to get a dual snorkle on a 1970 L-78 equipped Chevelle while being assembled.
That BB Dual came out later on during 1970,while the L-78 engine,which was only available for roughly the first 90 days of production,had long been discontinued on the Chevelle.
Open element (SS) or Cowl Ind.(DG) were it's only possibilities. </div></div>

Thanks for all the support guys, but I was posting about a car that I know of... not mine. Nice to know you guys would talk me out of a bad decision. In the future, however, if I ever start talking about buying another car... I need your help talking me out of if!

Good luck with finding the right car Rick. Let me know if I can help any further.
