Might be a perfect example to take to the Camaro 2022 Nationals this year in Morgantown, PA (July 14-16).
Just sayin....:beers:

Decked and restamped engine.

Very poor job of trying to simulate the factory broach marks. Lots of aftermarket parts.
Not a high level resto IMO.

Somebody failed arts and crafts class on those "broach marks"! Looks like done with a finger nail file, LOL !

Feel free to have your say on BaT that things don't appear to be correct. I assumed the seller is right that it's matching numbers, but maybe not? I suppose if he re-decked the block he should have made it clear that the stamping is NOT original.

I asked for particulars on the L78 rebuild but he has not responded with anything. Maybe he doesn't know. Typical Dealer Seller?

It could still be a nice buy for someone.....just don't over pay right?

I look at the gauge installation. I can only assume the rest of the car was assembled with the same eye for detail

My thoughts exactly

[Chevelle SS 396 L78]

Agreed! The interior actually looks nice except for the gauges with exposed wires....sloppy for sure. On a factory correct looking car I wouldn't install any aftermarket gauges personally. I am a bit surprised nobody appears to like the car, even a tiny bit? I don't think it's all that bad & I can be very picky!....any Camaro with an L78 396 in there would be a prize in my book! But info on the engine build needs to come out, or seller will be unsuccessful with the sale! I will watch it & see what happens.

Usually most on here are not much into made up cars, as this one appears to be.

[Chevelle SS 396 L78]

Well there is a blue ‘69 Camaro 396 on BaT now and honestly it looks way better! I don’t know if it’s an L78 but it has similar power and the start up video sounds sweet!

[Billohio]

Those boach lines arent even straight being passed off as original.
The blue car is pretty.

[BigBlock427]

Those are original Stamping on the engine. It appears the same on many L78. Do a quick google search and you’ll see how similar they all are.

Umm, nice first post 427?

The guys here HAVE original cars they don't need to google a damn thing. So they will compare a known original from that plant and timeline and see.

Well that escalated quickly but I appreciate the post, need more people to step up and call these out for what they are not especially when someone has a nefarious agenda. Kudos.

I did kind of chuckle when I read this. :rolleyes2:

[169indy]

^^Exactly.

Many features (This cars stamping) are very different than my Orig L35 LOS stamped motor

I'm just dealing with BaT now to list my 1978 SURVIVOR Z28. I have heard some good thing about it and hopefully not the same BS I get on some other places.
