Check out the page in the Camaro book showing the door jamb VIN sticker. Anything odd about that VIN?

It's missing the '0' for 1970 model..

On the subject, great the document has surfaced...even better that it's from a credible source!. And good luck to whoever finds the car...if it still exists!.

Also considering the sources as credible, I'd believe the other existing car mentioned as genuine...it just 'sounds' more suspicious when the info isn't shared?.

I know we've touched on this slightly here before, but is there an L78 only fan shroud unique for the automatic trans...or any other unique part #'s known produced for the '70 Camaro L78/M40 application?.

I understand that I am not playing on a level field anytime I engage Mr Lillard. We, the interested enthusiats are only looking for a veriable Camaro that proves the existance of the L-78/M-40 being mfg.


"Chuck kept saying it was BS, fake etc. I offered to bet Chuck or anyone else 5,000.00 that the car was real but got no takers, just more accusations. RickH ..I believe after the Scuncio sheet was posted even you believe it is real but just like to argue.
I'm still looking for someone to bet me 5K........"

This current discussion involves TWO different subjects of a similar nature:

1) Once again is the 70 White Camaro in Calif a real, born with T-400, M-40 L-78. I would like to have knowledgable 70 Camaro ACA judges or NCRS or ??? people inspect the car and answer MY punchlist of questions, but that isnt going to happen.......and NO I'm not going to be bullied by a man with more financial means than most of us to put up $5000 of my hard earned income to prove it

2) The other new issue involves Scuncio's dealer invoice for a certain 70 Camaro M-40/L-78 (that has nothing to do with the alledged M-40/L-78 in paragraph

At the "end of the day" somebody besides myself.......has to think its very strange that NOBODY has any picture, testimonial, brochure, article, of a FACTORY BORN 70 Camaro L-78/M-40 ever existing.............
What with all the misc rare Chevrolet/GM models that exist today, ala ZL-1's, COPO's, 67 Z-28, etc etc etc........NOBODY can show any pictures or has personal knowledge of SEEING one back in the day........NEW !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I would rather have to prove the existence of "bigfoot" then deal with this hot potato...

Chuck wait a minute. Ed posted a copy of an invoice for a L78/M40. He stated that the car was shipped to the dealer on 05/04/70 and did not sell untill 01/28/71. Isn't that a heck of a lot for him to just make up? If he can provide that info where is the doubt that there is at least one documented example? You have to believe now that there was at least one example produced based on this invoice. This new found info holds a lot more water than that paragraph in the Camaro Buyer's Guide.

Just cause I haven't personally shaken hands with George Washington doesn't mean he never existed..
