Since they were limited production, what is a 67 SS396 L78 car worth without the original motor? This is a solid car(so I'm told). Just looking for opinions since I know it's hard to really put a value on something without seeing it.

What other options did it come with?

Hmmmm, I guess a 1967 Camaro SS396/375 hp car is nothing special. It's a 4 speed car with console/gauges, rear antenna, rear speaker, currently has PS and PB(drum).

Work it backwards. A extremely good restored non-matching 67 375hp coupe is worth $50k tops?
How complete is the car?
Is the rear end there?
Is the complete front end there? Is the interior there?
Does it need floors? 1/4's? fenders?
Assuming it is missing everything above probably $5000.
Motor trans and rear will cost you $15,000+ after rebuilding.

Jeff, For some reason, the '67 L78 cars just don't seem to get the same level of attention as some other L78 cars. If you want to use my red car as an example, I sold it for $35K. You could have bought the original paint Tahoe car that Mike Rossi and Steve Shauger used to own for $45K last year. So, if this car is a project missing its original motor, it likely is worth something in the teens at best. That being said, I think these cars are undervalued and will be worth bigger bucks in the future. I'd buy another in the future, but it would have to be documented with matching numbers to ensure my investment. Hope that helps...

The car is restored with a 350 in it currently. I'm still surprised your L78 only sold for $35K since it was matching #'s and documented, right. It seems like a lot of the 67 L78 cars were serious race cars and not too many have survived original and intact. Didn't Yenko use the L78 cars towards the end of the run of his 67 Yenkos? I know this car isn't a Yenko based on the VIN, but it's an April car so it's somewhat early. I'm still kicking around the idea of buying it and putting a correct 396/375 back in it and having a fun car. Anyone want a 68 Camaro with a 94 LT1 in it? http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif

Yes, Jeff, POP, spoke with original owner, all numbers matched, needed paint and fluffing to be really slick - great driver as it was. Like I said, I think these cars are going to go up pretty dramatically over the next few years, so if you can get it for a decent price and the colors are good, I'd go for it!

FWIW I saw a 67 L78 project sell for $13,000 about a year ago. It was a roller with no motor or tranny and although it wasn't a rust bucket, it needed EVERYTHING.

A 67 L78 (with RPOZ22) is one of my top 5 desired Camaros to one day own, so I'd probably end up paying more than average if I came across the perfect car. http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/dunno.gif

I Thought this was kinda neat.
While driving by a local house last year,I saw a garage door open with a 1967 Camaro taillights & panel showing.I made a note to come back later and inquire.I did & there was no one home.I did this a few times,and got tired of knocking on his door,with no answer.
Fast forward to One year later,I just drove by his house recently,and the garage door was open.I made a screeeeeeeeeching STOP!..,and backed up to talk to him.
He said he bought this 1967 Camaro brand new from a Chicago area Chevy dealer,Nickey/Brigance/Fencl? http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/dunno.gif ,after coming home from Vietnam.He has saved all the docs and "Extra" parts for it throughout the years.It is not an Z28,SS or BB Car,just a nice 327 small block 67 Camaro Hardtop.He must be about 65 years old,and said he would like to freshen it up someday,It's not for sale at any price.It sentimental value to him alone,is priceless.He took my number,for when he decides to open the garage again & start it finally,it has been sitting awhile.He says it has alot of period after market parts on it,but I couldn't get in that far to see them.I hope he calls,as I would love to see more of it.
Nice to see some of these original owners still tucked away out there. http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif
