Default Ebay - '70 L-78 Camaro

I find it amazing how original and documented this car is considering its condition.

I don't believe that is the typical tachometer in that car. Looks like a 55k redline. Hmm, and his source for "values" via Hemmings shouldn't be confused with "asking prices". Indeed a project.

I definitely agree that it's well documented! Sure needs a lot, but it appears to be a very solid start for a project.

Not saying it isn't true but a simple shot of the trim tag would dispel any possible ambiguity.

I can't get the Facebook link to more pics to work , but in the sellers description he lists that it comes with the correct CTX block? CTX is an L34 engine code. If it really is an L78 that can't be the correct block.

Naturally when I open my mouth the car is an LA build... go figure. I'll remain silent even thought you couldn't gather this from his ad (unless I've forgotten all signs of an LA car?)

Thanks Darren. I'll call you tomorrow lunch time.

This car has L34 fuel lines as well as an L34 tach. Not much evidence of an L78 on the car. However the paperwork does show L78 but there are many questionable item present.
