Gobi Beige '70 Chevelle L78
Beautiful car in a really underwhelming Ebay auction, but perhaps there's a deal to be had.

There's definitely some issues with this cars authenticity! Here are some previous discussions:

Here are the deck stamps and build sheet for this car...

L78 Chevelle...???
I noticed that the engine code on the POP is listed only as "KO"...not "CKO". Checked our 70 L78 Nova and the POP says CKO :dunno:
Maybe this is a Chevelle thing...but , I would have thought the correct code would appear. The embossed section is also remarkably clear for a 47 year old item. -wilma |

All the C means is Chevrolet ...KO code.
This started very late on 69 - 70 titled first gen Camaros and of course for Model Year 70 GM cars and light duty truck. B O P C did the same thing on drive lines |

FWIW, the POP looks OK but way too clean. The block is a restamp and would have actually looked pretty good with the cylinder head on if only they had stamped the VIN the way KC did them ;) All the other stamps also look suspect, especially the axle tube. That build sheet is one of the worst I've seen and should go right into the trash bin. If for some reason this was a real L78, the fake provenance has killed it. It's a shame, looks like a beautiful car. |
POP Stamp..

Same thing on the axle code...our POP says CBT...not 'BT'.. I would like to hear from some of the Chevelle gurus...always happy to learn something new. -wilma |
