1970 Camaro L78 - One of 600 built.

396/375 – Not original to the car but all date and number correct.
M21 trans – Not original to the car but date and number correct.
Rear end coded COX – Original to the car. However, I think it has 4.10 gearing.

This car is well known in the hobby as it attend several national events and has been the subject of many technical and restoration threads. There is no need to worry about any mysteries with this car. First and foremost, it does NOT have its original engine or transmission. However, upon purchasing the car in 2006 I proceeded to search for the necessary date and numbers correct components as well as the infamous dual snorkel air cleaner. For the 70 2nd gen gurus that might be wondering. Yes it has the original radiator but it does not have the original fan shroud. The March of 70 dated motor was completely built in 2010 and has a few thousand miles of break-in. The M21 was also completely rebuilt at the same time. The car runs very well.
This car was frame off restored in 2000. I have all the receipts from the restoration as well as my efforts from the engine and transmission build. When I purchased the car it came with a stack of titles from the previous owners. All of which I have spoken to on the phone. The car is out of Decatur Illinois, believed to be purchased new from Miles (or Fahrenbach) Chevrolet. I have obtained original pictures of the car from early 70s as well as pictures of it from the 80's when the restoration was being started. Per a previous owner the car had several buildsheets but only one survived which I have. Obviously this is an LA built car.
I believe that many will agree that the blue/blue combination is very striking. It is registered in the NastyZ28.com L78 Registry and with just about 40 cars registered. To my knowledge it is the only L78 with blue interior/exterior.
It was recently featured in the January 2013 issue of Camaro Performers:

The car was also featured at:
2006 Supercar Reunion 9
2007 Chevy Vettefest L78 Display
2011 MCACN 1970 Camaro L78 Reunion.

Car is currently in storage but I will be bringing it home soon. So if additional info or pictures are needed, feel free to ask.

Asking $50,000.00 and I will listen to all reasonable offers. I no longer have storage space for the car so it will sell.

I have seen this car at MCACN, and I can say it is everything and more that Darren describes. One of the best colors on a 2nd Gen, and done well.

You can't go wrong on this car, it is very well known on NastyZ28.

I saw this car before Darren owned it and it was a great car then, I can only imagine it's way better now.

I have driven this car. Amazed at how nice it rides, tracks and doesn't rattle or squeak. Glass is really nice also. Definetly can't go wrong with the color combo either.
