Re: Thanks for the compliments!
Yes, it's a 1970. I originally ordered it with RPO LS-7 454/465hp, N14 Side Mounted Exhaust, in Tuxedo Black. They called me 2 weeks later and said the LS-7, N14 exhaust, and Tuxedo Black were deleted, but I could get a RPO LS/6 454/460hp and order the car with SPC paint code (primer with 1st line fenders) for $128.00 more and have the N14 Side Mounted Exhaust dealer installed! I then had a friend at GM contact Earnie Callard at the Tonawanda (big block plant in NY) and get me a set of the LS-7 Aluminum heads. I went across the street from the Corvette plant to Gene Jantzen Chevrolet and ordered the N14 exhaust, a L88/ZL-1/ZR-2 Cowl Induction Hood & Air Cleaner setup. After kids I stored it until 2 years ago when I retired. After sitting for 35 years I decided to go through the motor and brakes and finally install the LS-7 heads. Now, 42 years later, I finally have the LS-7 that I ordered! As for the old Clinton....I want to find it a new home....maybe someone with an old Regal200 like I had when I was a kid! :thumbsup:
