Jim
That's my mistake earlier saying it came with a green cloth bench seat,it didn't,it came with a green vinyl bench seat.
But it was possible to get a Hardtop 1970 SS Chevelle with a green cloth bench seat.

Not only could you get a cloth interior (code 782) on an SS let alone an L78 or LS6 but could get white wall tires on them as well......

This one is toasty too. Thought it was the same car at first.

I feel bad for the owners...

puts a tear in my eyes.... years ago I had a 69 RS convertible at my buddy's body shop. He pushed it outside one night and covered it with a tarp... that same night some chick decided to torch her boyfriend's car which was right next to my Camaro.... well..long story short, the only thing I salvaged was one rally wheel... the whole car pretty much melted.... I saved one burnt seatbelt as a memory... I'm in brazil now.. but Ill post a pic when I get home....

I hate when this happens...

<div class="ubbcode-block"><div class="ubbcode-header">Originally Posted By: SS427</div><div class="ubbcode-body">Actually the VIN will tell you an approximate build date of the car (can't read it on the cowl tag) and that will eliminate one or the other of the LS6 or L78. The L78 ceased production on or about October 30th, 1969 and the LS6 began on that same date. The car's rear axle and/or trans codes will tell more about what it is assuming they are original which they likely were not in this car as it appears to be modified. </div></div>
From what I can see it is just 26
