Does anyone have any pictures of this car that attended a few of the early SCRs? I was also wondering what this car's color code is and if it started life as an L78 or small block car? Best Regards, Tim E. Penton, Jr. http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif

Pretty sure that car started life as an SS 350. Photos seem to indicate small-block emblems on the fenders. Looks like a SB fan shroud too.

Has anyone ever seen a emerald turquoise (K color coded) '67 L78 Camaro? What about any tripoli turquoise (K color coded) L78 '68 Chevelles or '68 Camaros?

Here are some pics that I took on 6/19/03 of Jims car. I would love to know the history of this car. I asked him about the car then and he said that there was no paperwork but he knew the car since the 70's and it was still set up just like that.

Love the original '60s Americans and the belted Goodyears. Nice to see the pinstripes on a Style Trim/RS car--they seem to get forgotten during most restorations in the rush to get wheelwell and driprail chrome put on. No spoilers keeps it looking like it was still 1967.

When I met Jim after SCR7 he told me the same thing. My friend Tom Migut who worked at the Nickey dealership in 66-67 agreed. I felt it was like a survivor, right down to the yellow L88. A Bill Thomas trademark.

Were all Nickey camaros with the L88 conversion yellow blocks? That color combo looks great with the Aluminum heads! Back then, were the cams the factory cams or did they swap them out?
