If so sure, take Charley up on his bet, an easy $5 grand.

Come on Rick H., proving Charley wrong and making 5 grand. It doesn't get better than that, and that money would sure come in handy on your 70 Z project.

Rick... Do you have any more insults for me ?

I recall reading the post about the SS cars and them having stripes too. There was one guy who had a trim tag with the
Z27 code followed by a stripe code as well. I don't remember what the final outcome of that topic was, as far as it being authentic or not.
On the L78 TH-400 topic, I don't know a lot about these cars, and haven't really seen very many of them either. My only question is why wouldn't they offer the TH-400 in an L78 Camaro given that they did have it in other cars with that engine as well as the 454's?

The final outcome is there never is a final outcome. Certain individuals post claims and after a 4-5 page thread it is never proven. Request are ignored and so on and so on.

There are certain people who feel that their word is gospel and nothing else needs to be proven. They said it's true so it must be.

I just don't see why it so friggin difficult to allow people to verify the car and it's alleged paperwork.

Unless it can be proven I myself stand by the understanding that there were NO 1970 L78/M 40's built. Also the stripe issue was never proven either. Show me the trim tag and supporting documentation and then I might change my mind.

Have a nice day.

There was actually a picture of this guys trim tag posted on nastyz28.com a while ago. The tag did have the Z27 code followed by a stripe code. I'm sure someone could find it in the archives, and post it here. I am not saying that I took that picture as 100% proof, as I couldn't tell if the tag was real by the picture posted.

The photo is on the last page of the second generation thread.

The first thing people do today is say the "tag is fake".

IMO.. It is the easy way out of the debate if technical issues arise.

I personally don't care if it exists or not. I bet the NHRA drag racers who want to run this combo do.

Actually, the class guys will tell you that the L78 is hampered by the automatic...in front of a stick is where it works it's magic...

Not trying to prove anybody wrong, just want to get the facts staight and if there is legit documents that prove what has been said then show them, have someone verify them, verify the car, etc.. Why is it so friggin hard to do this?
