Re: 1965 L78 Register

Gary - thanks for the start -- what are you thoughts on how to populate the matrix?

For example you might have new VIN data, new details, or owners...
Then how are non original 396's being flagged?
Example - I bet someone knows this owners:

194675S112864

Unknown Owner

Convertible

Nassau Blue

Blue (Vinyl)

Unknown

Bartlesville

Oklahoma

Re: 1965 L78 Register

I have some information on 121588 that I have owned since 1984, if you are interested.

How would you like it to be submitted to you?

Your spreadsheet is very interesting and clearly the result of a lot of work on your part.

Re: 1965 L78 Register

Gary: I have a few VINs, but not the permission of the owners to share the information. I will look for the ones that came from public "for sale" advertising and share with you. Mine is number 16538. Blue Coupe, black (standard) interior, known owner history, Tele., N14 and Aluminum wheels when new.

Not many of the tankers in that list......

Re: 1965 L78 Register

Gary - Thanks for setting up the 65 396 Register. I think that's a good approach, to add to this list you set up on the NCRS Forum and to also add info and pics to Bob's C2 Registry. That way it's accessible to everyone. And I agree with Tom D, shouldn't be a problem listing other 65 396's that are listed 'publicly' for sale.

Post it here or PM me. Be aware that once it is posted it will be in the public domain.

20134 is owned by Leonard Gionet and last I heard he restored the side pipe car. Since 17752 is also a pipe car, it would be great to see how many 396 pipe cars there are.

Re: 1965 L78 Register

Mike - I see you're working on your Silver over Red 65 396 Coupe, got any pics to share of the restoration?

Mike: 16538 came with "pipes" and no radio. 1965 side pipe cuts.jpg

Re: 1965 L78 Register

Sadly, I haven't worked on it since 2012, and it is a rusty basket case. At least a 396 has been rebuilt for the car.

Re: 1965 L78 Register

I know Bill Williamson had an extensive L78 registry, but I'm not sure what happened to it after he passed away. Steve Walker might know.
