I do not remember this Camaro being a Gibb L78, although I have heard of one similar.

Looks like Darren Costello's old car.

I didn’t know Darren’s 1970 L78 was an original Fred Gibb car!

If this is in fact his old car, I'm not sure he even knew.

The car was set up as a "Yenko Clone" if I remember correctly and for sale at Volo years ago. I believe it had a 454, headers, stripes and it looked very good. Same Daisy mags as the above picture.

It had a complete LS6 engine installed when Darren bought it.

Auction details note Darren as a past owner also Original Build Sheet. The L78 registry includes the Gibb detail too so probably not new info? Did Darren originally get this car from you Stefano or some connection? ~ Pete .

Mike Guarise, restored and built the car as a Yenko tribute. I purchased the car from him along with the Motion Performance Rat Bird Trans Am and then sold it to a local guy, who drove it once and decided that he didn’t like it. Darren got the car from him and spent lots of time having fun with it.

The most I have seen a restored 1970 L78 Camaro fetch at auction is about 65-70K. I hope their optimism in the pricing pays off - that would be a new high water mark for these cars.
They certainly deserve more recognition.
