Sounds like a LUV story to me.

Can't wait to see some more pictures!

Nice car! I have owned two of these and still have one. With only 600 built, they are very rare. In my opinion they are still undervalued. Supposedly there was one built with a turbo 400 and the owner has a build sheet. We are still waiting for Charley to come through and post a copy of it.

Does your car have the elusive dual snorkle aircleaner?

nice very nice will be looking foward to seeing it next month at The All Chevy Show there. Bout time you got it, when you were telling me about it last month you sounded like the kid in the candy store that just hit the jackpot

Tell Sue I hope she enjoys driving it :P

Thanks, JoeG - Chevy LUV, indeed!

Mosport, here is a side view, more pics to come after I receive the car.

COPO, I am fortunate to have the dual snorkel air cleaner, with the long snorkels. The car is a Norwood-built car, with console, gauges, Power steering and power brakes. Engine and trans are original. I notice by your profile that yours is an RS car also - is it a Norwood car and what color combo?

Jeff, thanks, I am very excited, and Sue will have to learn to drive a stick first! [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/rolleyes.gif[/img]

PS We have an L&L Barbecue opened about two miles from my house [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/tongue.gif[/img]

Mine is also a blue/black Norwood car with original drivetrain and a number of options. It is a very early car one of the first 5,000 camaros off the line and likely one of the very first L-78's built in 70. Unfortunately I don't have the elusive dual snorkle air cleaner. I may have one made as I hear they are going for $2,000. They are great sleeper cars without the flash of the Z-28 stripes. Looks like you have a nice one.

That is a nice Camaro.
There was a Dual Snorkle that just sold on Ebay this month for 535.00.Item#2421552958.I know the buyer.I'll bet he was more surprised then anyone what he had to give for it...

Fhakya · #9 07-27-2003, 06:05 AM

That is a SCORE..congrats Sam! One of my personal favorites. Quick question: I've seen 2 70 L-78's w/ those SS wheels on them now, were those a factory option on the Camaro also?

Congrats,
-Mark

The questions seem to be flowing. Is the trim on the side of the red Camaro another "trim" option? Adds a nice touch.
