I did include George's car in this list, Just didn't know George's name. It is at the top , along with Phil S car because of Royal Plum as one of the rarest colors.

I remember seeing a Royal Plum L78 SS/RS at the Fred Gibb car show around 2003. The owner's name was Mike. I think he lived in the LaHarpe area. Has anybody else seen this car?

A guy from Michigan named Richard had a Plum Crazy vert with white top. He used to be with Jim Stubbins at some Camaro shows in the late 90's and 2000. Can't remember his last name .

<div class="ubbcode-block"><div class="ubbcode-header">Originally Posted By: vette5762</div><div class="ubbcode-body">20% is approx 220 cars, the 9 cars listed equals less than 5% still remaining today. There may be more cars yet to be discovered, but I don't think the number will increase by much, maybe 1 or 2. Thanks Kurt for the information. That leaves approx 900 coupes that were built, any guess how many coupes are known to exist today. </div></div>

I spoke to Kurt tonight. He meant 20% of the L78's he has in his database, not GM production records.

Yup, the 20% number was generated via our database. There's all kinds of biases built into the data. But it's a good guestimate.
btw, 50 in a registry seems plausible. There are 35 in our db.

Phil (rare4K) has a total of 151 67 L78 cars in his datatbase in various stages of restoration, of that total 29 cars are convertibles. Phils registry is the only resource I have been able to confirm, other than CRG. With a possible 50 cars still existing, I am suprised that more cars have not surfaced.

Wow, those 4K cars must really be a rare Camaro. Wonder if any of them have born with engines?
