seems like a good deal...a blue 4-speed car...I'd make it an RS though...whether it was or not....

...interesting how the cowl tag calls out the SS option (Z27)and the L78 option separate...I've never seeen that before. Is that common? I assume one could obtail the GM Canada docs. which would be really cool.

I think it's a cool car..wish it was mine.

I'm amazed how nice and crisp that trim tag looks after 40 years

The car may be 40 years old but the trim tag is not. <<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/whistle.gif
No 1970 SS cars had Z27 on trim tag. The correct tag would read L78 only.

There is a cool 1970 L78 clone in latest Hemmings muscle machines which races in the FAST program with an auto. Has there ever been a documented 70 L78 with a turbo 400 auto. If not how can car be considered clone original? Does FAST allow for other transmissions?

I was not insinuating the cowl tag is fake...as it looks very similar to the tag on the cars I own, My 70Z tags look much newer than 40 years old also...and I know mine are original.

As far as there never being Z27 on a cowl tag? I would never say never. If my memory is correct,I believe I have seen a 71 Camaro with the RS option designated on the tag..I believe Z22...??

Has anyone seen Z27 on a cowl tag before? There are a few 70 L78 owners here...or even a small block car?

The GM of Canada docs sure would help this car...if it is real??

[COPO]

Mine only says L78

I will come right out and say the tag on that car is not the tag that left the factory.

I have owned quite a few 1970 Camaros over the years and the SS cars I owned did not have Z27 on the tag. Plus the L78 cars I have looked only had L78 on the tag.
It's like a 1970 Z/28 with air-conditioning. Never say never, right?

This car was never sold in Canada so there would not be any &quot;legit&quot; documentation.

There is more to the story on this car but I would rather discuss it off line for those interested.

Rick, apparently you have some inside info. on this car. That is one of the best things about this website. There are so many people here that know so much more than me !!!!

The small fee for the admission has saved me many wasted time for some cars that are not what they seem to be !!!

Thanks Rick and SYC&quot;!!

[HiHorse]

Apparently, It is possible to have Z27L78 on the tag.

Rick, did you get my PM? Would like to hear the story as I have seen it.

Bottom line is you can not build a car like this for what the owner(ME) is asking. i purchased the car from the states(Wyoming) came across saul ste marie boarder. and had the car soda blasted at proctor &amp; fishburn in hornby ontario as for the tag it was on the car when i got it.. what i seen was 3 people with the same tag l78 z27(florida,memphis,tennesse,) and the car has a r/s front end on it. And for those who already replyed to as the add reads i am selling this car as a restored camaro (unfinished) in any of my adds it does not state numbers match or correct. the car was intended to go racing and driving to local cruise nights (Not Barrett Jackson). I Hope i did not offend anyone on the site but you should only comment on vehiceles that are seen in person and there only been a hand full of people

[70-SS/RS-L78]

I have looked at many Norwood 1970 SS Camaro’s and I have never seen a trim tag stamped with the Z27 option till 1971.
And the Norwood cars that did have the Z27 were not stamped like this one……

[dann]

thanks for the input. but for what i am asking for the car you can not buy one for the condition that its in. it would cost you more in labour and running around to get a camaro to look like this.

[TDW]

Dann...What is the price you are asking? How far are you from Port Huron in Michigan? Thanks.

Todd.. A guy out here has a documented L78 T400 car and I believe there is a orig invoice for a Scuncio car with one also.

[CamarosRus]

Here we go again.........

and NO I'm not sending a dime to Charley to prove/disprove anything.

However I will contribute $500 toward Steve Shaugers expenses.
Car must be inspected per Mike Steitz and Jack Seymours list
of items.

I cant post my digital copy of the alledged SCUNCIO invoice as I cant access my PB account. Darren told me that it was PhotoShopped ????

Chuck, I'd be happy to post it for you if you want to e-mail it to me.
