BIN now lowered $10K to $69,995. If a real car, then the price is quite attractive. It just seems suspect that the car was for sale listed on BAT with an L-78 without any documents except a scrap of the tank sticker which does not list the engine and bid to $43K two years ago and now it's on Ebay with pristine full set of documents. A VIN search shows it was sold on Ebay for $14K out of CA painted purple as an SS350 car originally an automatic and converted to 4 speed. Hard to say what's true for sure. If it was an automatic from the factory that would rule out being an L-78 except for the unicorn car that Charley saw in CA.

Perhaps pre-resto photos exist that might show evidence of L-78, but for a full set of paperwork to appear would need an explanation from the Seller for a potential buyer to have confidence they are buying a legit L-78. Norwood built cars have "L78" stamped on their trim tag, so easier to document without paperwork. VN cars a bit more difficult.

Needs a few things to make it more correct, but for the price seems like a nice enough car and couldn't be duplicated for the asking price.
