Guys, finally found one that I'm buying this week... I've been searching hard to find out exact production #'s of these, which I know is low.. Anyone with any idea/knowledge to doing so? I've searched forums, chevy by the numbers, articles-can find any data... Thanks for any suggestions

One guy had one for sale on ebay about a year ago. It was a semi rusty blue one. He claimed it was around just over 1,500 in both '78 and 79' If I remember correctly. I was going to buy it but I didn't have a need for 2 Monte Carlos. So I bought a Caprice Wagon instead.

Saw that one on ebay also. Rust bucket. Guy thought he had gold.


You aren't kidding. I looked up his username and he had the car listed other places as well. All his posts were so arrogant. Like I get it, its rare. But be reasonable and think of the hard work someone will have to put in to get it looking good again.
