Default '70 L78 Camaro

Neat car, sounds like the motor and trans have been replaced, but the rear is original.

Very nice car forest green and standard saddle interior. 07C is a late build. To bad a lot of the big money original parts are missing to restore concourse.

Seller is firm at 25k. I offered him 21k when it was up the first time a few weeks ago. Nice cool looking car that has L78 providence. Unfortunately, the L78's are not valued like the Z28's are.

Thirty years ago I bought an L78 engine out of a 70 Camaro from a guy in the same town as the seller. It has its factory CKO stamp. Probably too early for this car since it has a cast date of 2/70 and a stamp date of 4/70.

It would be awesome if you had this car’s original engine. Ask the seller for the last 3 numbers of the vin.

I wouldn't count your engine out. I have a 03C 70 L78 with a Sept 69 cast date.

Yep,I've seen a few of those too.
When they abruptly cancelled putting that L-78 engine into the early 1970 Chevelles,(due to the the LS-6 debuting),they probably banked a fair amount of those early 854 4-bolt main blocks,so turned to the new Camaro,(and Nova), to eat up the remaining.
