Charley, did your friend end up winning it? If he did tell him he has to bring it to MCACN.

We don't all need perfectly restored cars. This car tells a story better than most.

I agree. Clean it up, blueprint the l88, and bring if to cruise nights. The car will not lose money.

&quot;I agree. Clean it up, blueprint the l88&quot; ....... As long as the connecting rod coming out of the oil pan didnt take the bottom of a cylinder out.

(302moz) the L78 at mecum that your referring to was a butternut yellow car with a NON matching motor, the seller at mecum stated the suffix and vin was decked for tolerance on a rebuild,(GREAT LINE)so there where no suffix code or vin on the motor I knew of the car years before, but the car did do very well I think it was 94k. so this car with the options and all original stuff, with paper work, (not a lot of 4k cars out there with paper work) should bring in the 120+ range, by far the Most Optioned 4k Hardtop to date with a Great Color

It would be a crime to restore this one to stock. Who wants to look at another 100% stock L78? Yawn. This one has the battle scars and the patina to draw a crowd over any stock restored 4K.
