Most of the cool options were added and he still wants $70K for a "U" code :screwy: ....bit steep in my opinion....He's in "V" code territory. :2cents:

Beautiful car, that's for sure.

I don't recall seeing numbers stamped on the top of the core support like that though.  Mine is on the vertical surface adjacent to the radiator.

Mine has stampings in a similar spot except left of the sticker.  My car is from the LA assembly plant as well.

Beautiful car.
Dont think Ive ever seen it. Its local to me, and because I am so good at this (I recognized the pictures had to be from here in south florida because of the landscaping, etc) I knew it was a Miami car before I confirmed it in the sellers info.
If anyone here is seriously interested in it let me know if I can help in any way.

Beautiful car, but it's approaching 'vert money.

If it was a true A22 car and a J68 louvre car (tag does not show it, yet another piece of paper shows it?  WTH he trying to do?), and a buildsheet to prove that stuff, he might be able to get $70k if he sells it for a few months.

But just not gonna happen.

It's not 2007 anymore.

According to Mark Worman, on one of his shows he stated that all rear louver cars came with flat black molding around  the rear window.  This one looks like chrome molding around the rear window.

A friend of mine restored that car to the letter. The other stuff has been added since he sold it about 15 years ago. It was really nice back then.

hey guys....was interested in this old girl but after nearly getting screwed on a '70 Chevelle LS5 w/ a/c, 4 sp, pw, pb,ps as the trim tag didn't match the bogus build sheet I'm at bit skeptical about this one...too many options it seems----are y'all saying it's probably a repro trim tag?  thx. for any input!
