In the RED BOOK it dose show that there were 5755 put on chevelles in 1970. That is counting all Cheverolet in 1970. So the # of Chevelles that would have them would be small, and the # of SS's that would have them would even be alot smaller. Am in the middle of restoring mine or would show a closer picture. It was not very functenal, for some one thats not very tall, myself included. With the cowl induction hood you can not see the one on the right side unless you lean to the right, and look around the raised hood. It is also in the rear window to show that your brke lights are working.
When I 1st got my car a guy told me only 600 or 700 ( I cant rember) had them ...I thought that was a low number but maybe just SS?? not sure..I can only see one side also sure looks good at night..:thumbsup:

That would be the Chevrolet SS red book, and it breaks it down by model, so that would be 5755 Chevelles and Monte Carlos (they were both in the 13000 model series, so their option totals are lumped together) but that total does NOT include other models like Camaros, and Full Size cars.... :yes:

I have this setup sitting all wrapped up in my shop. I was going to put it on my 70, but couldn't bare to drill holes in original SS fenders that were already painted. I was thinking of putting them on the convertible. Don't have the setup for the rear lights though.
It is worth it...Rixls6 on the 1st page might have the back ? What you have is it a complete set..

Quetion for the blue SS has yours in the rear window been removed and is it originally equipted? Mine has never been removed or changed and is to the rear of the defrost I noticed that yours is forward of the defrost. I have never seen them on another Chevelle SS except mine that was from the factory so was wundering if they were put in diferent at each plant.
I'm not aware of them being back there, all cars I have ever scene were in the area that I show. In fact I believe the package tray is stamped for the mounting of that unit. I have also scene this set-up in an impala and monte and both installations were in the same area. Is your set-up factory? These were also available in dealership install kits.
Mine also is behind the defrost and is from the factory? I also have never seen any other SS but mine with them on??

Hey there Rick,
I know its a long shot, but any chance you still have any of the rear Vigilite monitors?
My 70 GTO was originally equipped with the rear-only option, and the only remaining parts on the car are the original tail lamp harness extensions with the integral fiber optic cables.
Please let me know.
Thanks!
Rupen
