Default Re: A honest shot at 70 L78 L89 Chevelle

No doubt you start adding in colors and options it really narrows things down. There is a 70 chevelle SS396 L78 Red automatic a few miles from me. I told the owner he had a super rare car. For a statistical ballpark average. Divide the 2144 by the 17 solid color options. That is a average of 126 cran red L78. I dont know the exact percentage or if it is known the ratio of manual L78 to auto L78 but I have heard it is estimated at 3 out of every 4 were manual. So if true or a close estimate then 25% were auto. Therefore 25% of 126 is 31 cars. I know there is alot of averaging and estimating here but still nonetheless a ballpark guideline. But gives you an idea how quickly it narrows it down using just 2 factors which were color and transmission. Probably pretty safe to safe to say there were a few more than 31 assembled but also pretty safe to say probably less than 100 Cran red auto L78 ever assembled. Needless to say very rare car. If you set out looking for a true documented red L78 automatic it might take you a lifetime to run across one. Good thoughts. But still we KNOW there were 18 L89 of the FACT 2144 L78. Using only that single factor it was a 1 in 119 chance. A FAR FAR FAR FAR better chance than those powerball odds. Either way super car that fascinated many.
