67 l78 purple rag
 

I'm looking for some history on this car before 95. It is purple with a white top and was listed for sale in Hemmings in Sept 95. At that time it had an Iowa license of RARE375. It may have been sold new in KS or NM and may have been painted red at one time. It has since been in MI and used in a GM video in 97 with the new SS. I've tried the numbers in the old ad without success and don't know the name of the owner at that time. I hope someone remembers the car and can provide some info.

Thanks

Phil

I'm almost certain that car was featured in Super Chevy back in the early nineties. Purple L-78's aren't very common and are easily remembered. My magazine collection is boxed up for moving but maybe a member could do a little digging. It was definitly Super Chevy mag while it was still a great magazine.

Do a search on here and Camaro.net Somebody just picked one up a few moths ago, might be the same car.. https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...mlins/hmmm.gif

Probably the same car, I bought it in June. I've made a similar post on Team Camaro.

Check with Coast to Coast Camaros in MI...I think he restored it a few years ago and sold it a while back. It was actually not Royal Plum, but was a very close color from and import. I spoke to the owner a few years ago, but can't remember much more about it. It was also on his web site at the time...

Thanks, what info I have I got from either Richard (Coast to Coast}or Jim (Heartbeat City). Richard can't remember the name of the guy he purchased it from in 95.

There must be 2 Royal Plum L78 convertibles.

The Dec 1988 SC cover car is an RS with Parchment custom interior.

The Coast 2 Coast car is not an RS and has black standard.

I have seen another one here in NJ that is a RS with black interior..Kevin W or NJSteve might know it..
