Description
This is a real L 78 375 horse Chevelle matching numbers. The rear end is a 373. It has been rebuilt. The body was taken off the frame and the frame was powder coated, and everything rebuilt. It is a project car, this car was bought brand new by a gentleman whodrove it and at the first stop light when it turned green, he got on it and hit a telephone pole. He took it back to the dealership and traded it in for a lower horsepower vehicle, then it was bought after it was repaired and drag raced. I believe that I am the fourth owner. This car is a project but has a lot done to it, all the parts you see were powder coated, the motor is rebuilt and all numbers match, carburetor, exhaust manifold and so on, the transmission is completely rebuilt. It is not the original transmission, The original transmission was stolen years ago, but it is period Correct and has been rebuilt, what you see is what you’re getting. This is a very expensive car when done and has had a lot done to it already email me or call me and we can discuss all the things about this car.
Vehicle Details
When this car got wrecked, it was hit dead center so the motor got pushed into the firewall. They just put a piece of tin over it and never replaced the firewall back then you could probably not get the parts because it was back in 66 so you can get the firewall replacement part and where the shifter was cut out for a bigger shifter, those would need in my opinion to be replaced. The frame is the original frame. There are numbers on the frame rail on the left rear. I checked them and they match the VIN All the L 78 parts the idler pulley parts are all original. None of these parts are reproduction junk. I paid $25,000 for this car and then I had the motor rebuilt by a professional machine shop, all original it’s 30 over it has the correct 375 horse cam mechanical everything is built to specs. I also purchased the transmission had it rebuilt the shifter was gone. I’m in this car $35,000 right now as it sits so you’re getting a heck of a deal.
