Yep, looks good. I wish he'd posted more pics. I'd really love to know how many Black Knights were produced.

There were only 12027 SS's made in 1978...no numbers exist for the Black Knight, but rumur has it there were fewer than 300 made.

I have a 1978 Black Knight, I think.....
it appears to original paint except the front clip and a few touched up spots...my cowl plate matches(upper/lower black trim, center console/ buckets 350ci,etc) it has SS badge @dash, it has the black 1/4 window trim, it has the narrow corvette/chevy rally wheels with the top hat style centers and beauty ring(maybe not stock), some old air shocks(possilbly stock/maybe generic), no sign of total repaint, but...............what bothers me is the carmine interior........I have only actually seen one other Black knight and it belonged to a neighbor and had tan buckets(when I was a kid) and any file photos on the net seem to have tan interior, but I might have seen 1 photo with what appears to be black interior so maybe, maybe not...............I ran into a chevy service manager of 35years at the only car show I had it in and he thought it was definitely the real deal....the car won "People's Choice" award at a Mopar meet(ha!!!!!!) see classifieds if you think you can trade me out of it- I want a nice late 60's/early 70's SS - or something nice.....
I traded a 1967 Dart GT for it and drove it from Indianapolis to South Carolina last winter with a pack of old school rodders.........I do not want a forune for it, I just don't want to drop the ball in elky history and do a screwed up resto or wreck it or let it fall apart....I have 2 more, and I have had many many elky's as I used to deal exclusively in vettes/el camino/trans am/charger at a car lot and sevice shop I owned by Indy...
I just hate to think I got a Damned Clone.
