Does anyone know of documented big block Camaros built with the L78, L89 or L72 COPO options exist? I'm sure that there were L78's built but what about the L89 and L72?

Clill;
Is that the 'fire' car I saw at Bob Harris' and redone at Carlisle two years ago?

**Charley Lillard** · #5 11-27-2002, 08:08 PM

Yes that is the same car.

Clill,
Did you have any other than the Red and Blue L78 Rags?
Were both Van Nuys Built Camaros as I have not seen any signs of prior Fire Damage to the Blue one I have [img]/ubbthreads/images/icons/confused.gif[/img]

It was a engine fire on the Burgundy one. Not as bad as it sounds. I also had a 68 L78 convert but I can't remember if it was LA built.

Any known COPO or L89 cars? Was Norwood the only place special low volume cars were built?

He sold it at the Monterey Auction in August. It is still in Ca.
