Discovered a L78 Camaro convertible a couple years ago. Performed a forensic study on the car and without a doubt a L78. It has all of the L78 components: 170 distributor, deep pulleys, 814 alternator, 840 heads, 163 intake, manual steering, 4 spd, etc.... My theory on the car is that it is a L78. The last owner had the car 22 years. Very long and interesting story on the car. Contacted the original owner, and yes it is the real thing. "I ordered the L78 motor, M-22 4spd trans and the convertible option for my girlfriend now wife." Jerry at Camaro Country said he never seen one. The original owner said that the motor spun a main bearing in 69 while street racing. "The car was ordered exclusively for street racing" quote unquote. Denoyer Chevrolet warrentied the block thus explains the CE short block. The convertible is a tri-color, Maroon, white top, black interior.
