Hello, I'm new to the forum I have just acquired a 1970 Chevelle SS L78. It is a Canadian car and was wondering if anyone new the number produced. Are they rarer than the Ls6?
Thanks,
Al Barlow

Welcome Al. smile.gif
I just sent you an Email.
There were only 2144 1970 L78 equiped Chevelles/Elcaminos built.
This is less then the 4475 LS6 equiped Chevelles/Elcaminos built for 1970.

Can you tell us more about your Chevelle?
Color-trans.-Rear ratio,etc.?
Is there a buildsheet?
You can email me the VIN# if you like.

Rick, I did not receive an email but here is some info on the car.

I just noticed that it says there were 231 L78's imported to Canada for sale.

If so what is the redline?
Do you have a Buildsheet or Protecto-Plate?
What are the RPO codes GM of canada is showing it to have?
Is it still holding the Original engine-trans.-rearend?
