Rebeldryver’s Garage Investigates A 1970 Chevelle SS 396 To Discover It’s Story And Whether It’s A Rare L78 396
Ever look at an old car and wonder about its history? Every car has a story to tell, but sometimes that story is a mystery. Either the previous owner with the knowledge sold the car, or they have passed away, taking that story with them. We love mysteries and cars with stories, so when we come across a cool car that’s been sitting around a long time, we turn into some kind of automotive version of Sherlock Holmes and start investigating.
Scott over at Rebeldryver’s Garage found an interesting car to investigate. It’s a 1970 Chevelle SS 396, at least that what he thinks it is. Scott is also wondering if it is the rare for 1970 L78 396. He starts his own investigation to try to piece together this Chevelle’s story.

We found this 1970 Chevelle SS 396 languishing in Oklahoma. It’s going to get a full restoration. But, we were debating whether this is one of the rare L78 375 HP 396’s built for 1970. The ’70 LS6 454’s got all the press, but these monsters were far more rare in 1970, only 2,144 built, because it was discontinued early in the production year. Could this be one of those rare L78 396’s? Or, is it the far more common L34 360 HP 396? Do you have other ideas? Let me know.
