I can honestly say I havent seen nor do I have any in my list with that color option.. You care if I add it to my list? Could you send me pics of the docs? Thanks, Darrell

That 68 L78 Camaro ragtop is very nice and ultra rare!! George's 67 triple blue L78 Camaro convertible is the only other one I have seen. Different years but otherwise somewhat similar.

There is also a Canadian sold triple blue L78 '67 Camaro convert that still exists.

Interesting! It sure would be nice to see some photos.

Provided the engine and cylinder heads are original (I'm assuming they are, can't check the block as the numbers right below the cylinder head are MIA) my grandfather's is an L78. Tried to get in contact with the man who owned it in the 80s to learn more, but he never got back to me.

As the old saying goes never assume.. Get some casting numbers, dates and pics of the trim tag &amp; vin. You can pm them to me if you don't want to post them here. Also I asked previously for pics of fuel line coming up the subframe and to the fuel pump but you never posted them. Also get a pic of the firewall behind the distributor looking down.. Thanks, Darrell

I'll try. Couldn't see any casting numbers, or dates, or anything like that when I crawled under it because it's so tight. I'll snap a pic of the trim tag though. Car might be coming out of the garage today or tomorrow so I'll take a look.

You can add me to the list! Just emailed the guy who raced it in the 80s! Was an L78!

EDIT: Maybe. He said the code was ML on the block, which I know isn't right, since that would be a '67 327 block.
EDIT 2: Now confirmed as originally having an MQ block! Wonder where that is?
EDIT 3: MQ block is long gone. Oh well, at least I know it had one.

Don't take this the wrong way but a lot can happen in 12 years.. Keep searching and see if you can talk to the original owner or find some paperwork..

Wanted to bring this back up to the top.. Was updating my list tonight and wanted to see if there were any others out there that would like to add their info to my database/registry. Thanks, Darrell
