First of all if anyone has one that they would like to part with please PM me. Was there very many LH rifles made? My youngest son is a lefty and I want to get started on his 16th b-day rifle. (still 3 years away) Any leads, comments threats etc. would be greatly appreciated.

I don't believe Winchester made any of the original pre-64s in left hand. There were a few gunsmiths that converted them over to left hand, but I doubt there were very many.
The current Winchester Classic comes in a left hand verson, I believe and you'd probably have better luck with one of those.

There are no pre-64 M-70s made ever.

That is what I thought based on the fact that I have never seen one. Ok so now it looks like I have to use a new action of some kind. Thanks for the input.

The new M70 Classic is pretty close to the pre-64 and in some ways maybe better. They can be had in left-handed long and magnum lengths, some in stainless steel if you like. Another choice is the Montana 1999.
