Default My new L78

Here are a couple of pics of the '67 L78 Camaro that I just purchased. I'm still filling in the details on its history (I've spoken to all owners except the fellow who owned it between '71 and '72) and will post the entire story on my web site in a few days. It appears that the mileage is correct at 34,000 orig. and all of the original components are still there except for the carb and shifter (I have a lead on the carb thanks to owner number 3 [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/biggthumpup.gif[/img] ). It's had one repaint in the early '70's but the jambs and trunk are still original paint and they added the chrome trim and a variation of the correct nose stripe [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/thumbsdown.gif[/img] My buddy who looked at the car for me said he can't believe how hard the car pulls with those 4.10 gears!

Mark,
Very COOL. [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/cool.gif[/img] I love the wheel combo too. Sure would look nice with red stripes to complete the <font color="red">RED </font> theme!!!

ORIGLS6,
It's funny you mentioned red-lines--I was just looking at a Chevy Ad for a 68'Camaro--same color scheme as Zedders with red lines---Looked Sharp----JoeG
