1970 Camaro L78 GM of Canada docs

[Jeff H]

I wasn't planning on selling this car but I found another car that I have a very small window to commit to. This is a 1970 Camaro SS396 L78 car with GM of Canada docs. It has the #'s matching motor, a 1965 dated M21, and a late 70 12 bolt rear that is not original. It appears to have the original 3.55 posi in the rear though. Car is original Classic Copper with the white/black cloth interior. Car runs strong. Seats were recovered in 2006. New clutch, exhaust, rear brakes last year. Comes with a set of original P02 wire wheel covers as identified on the documentation. Body is rock solid with what appears to be all original panels. Floor is solid with original red oxide primer showing under the grease/dirt and in great shape. Tall spoiler was added as this is a very early 1970 Camaro. Feel free to contact me for more details or pictures. $49K obo.

Wow. Are 70 L78 approaching that "dime a dozen" status?

ALmost seems like it, doesn't it? I seriously doubt I'll have a chance at this other car but I have to give it a shot.

Does anyone know the production numbers on the 70 L-78?

[DarrenX33]

Only 600 of them making it pretty much the rarest 2nd gen Camaro. Mostly 4 speeds. I'll just leave that one hanging...

Almost , the 70 Z COPO at less then 500 made is probably the rarest.

BUT, there is a great argument that the L78 is more desireable. And this one has GM Canada Docs to boot.

Nice car for a fair price, and I wish I had the room, or it'd be next to my 70 Z Copo!

Is this the L78 that was for sale about 4 years ago from Canada? I remember that one was black as well? Member here or at TC? I regret not buying that car at that time.

[DarrenX33]

I never heard that number, how is that 500 documented?

Hear that Jeff? Your car has the spoiler so its even rarer. Raise the price.

From what I have been told:
500 was the number that was "supposed" to be made to satisfy race rules. It is believed that chevrolet "fudged" and only produced enough to convince the judges at a race in Texas that they were "production". They placed some in the parking lot and some in dealers.
Ford was complainng at a previous race that the 70 Z28 did not meet spec with the spoiler as it was not production.
Chevy "passed" and the judges let the Z race.

So, there would never have been any 1970 L78 COPO cars made, it was a Z thing......

AGAIN, not to take anything from this car, but the spoiler is incorrect. But, spoilers are easy to chage!

Great car, REAL car,and a fair price.....
