Bill, do you know if that car was Red by chance?

Pretty sure the #1 Dana Camaro was Ermine White. Here's a right-front shot of the same car. Note that the 427 emblems on the fenders are the type used on the '67 SS 427 Impalas.

Hey Rich the car looks great, You are one of the “VERY FEW” lucky owners that still has
a 70/L78 Camaro with the

Original Mill,

Unfortunately most of them were vented.

Up until last year I was still racing the car with the original block/heads but I was catching so much grief from some of the "purists" that I decided to end its racing career.........

Welcome Rich.
I wouldn't mind hearing & seeing more of your L78 Camaro.
Can you give us more info like options,(is it a 4 speed?) & trim tag info?
With only 600 made,these cars are very unique.

I figured someone would ask so I took some pics yesterday. The car is kinda buried in some snow but I managed to get the hood up and snap a few. I will post them tonight.....

I bought the car in 1985 when I was 19. I paid 4200 bucks for it and my parents thought I was nuts. 1985 was long before everyone was concerned with matching numbers and trim tags and originality. I bought the car because it was damn fast and there wasn't much around at the time that could touch it. I won't lie to anyone. I ran the sh&t out of this thing and it still begs for more. It is a pure beast from a factory stand point. I still have some things to change on the car. The hood, ,ignition system, fuel system, and relocate the battery back to the factory spot. The car has current registration and insurance so i can drive it anytime. Now, if I could only get it off the porch........
The car is a 4 speed without a console. I also have the original gearbox for it, but I blew it up years ago. It still has the original "COO" 12 bolt with a new set of Richmond 4.10's. I also kept the GM 4.10 gear set and it has the correct 2/70 stamp on the ring gear. The interior is very plain and all business. No gauges, no power steering. Somewhere along the line before I had the car a 130 speedo was installed. I have had the correct 150 unit for a while now, but never got around to switching it because I was racing the car so much and it didn't matter.
