I have the December 78 issue of Vette Vues where the numbers are listed that KapsSA provided. It also states:
"Vette Vues does not Certify the data to be 100% accurate" but also states "we feel the data is correct, as it came from a very reliable source......the manufacturer".

My view these L48 M20 four-speeds, while rare, are underrated as desirable collector cars. However, a few years back, one sold at auction for $80k. Of course, it was donated for a charitable cause but it shows the potential of this quasi-performance team in a 78 Pace Car.
You'll find this article about the 1978 M20 cast iron four speeds both informative and interesting. Feel free to drop me a note if you have questions and discuss further. The article was published in the NCRS Corvette Restorer.

By any chance...how visible is the frame stencil? Its located on the passenger side front wheel on the frame.
