Re: 67 L-78 Pace Car Convertible
 

The car is bogus. Should have 4 speed, doesn't have power disc brakes, No chrome interior trim. 1968 deck lid. I guess you could call that a light restoration. To many wrong things to be real! https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/bs.gif

No such thing as Air Spoiler Package in 1967. https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/bs.gif

Someone is in for a screwing. https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...thumbsdown.gif

Im with you on that, I think we have a shop putting cars together for fun and profit and the rarest high dollar ones too, Has anyone ever heard of the owner Carlo Magna? Most people who own these cars are pretty well known..

Re: 67 L-78 Pace Car Convertible
 

You notice on all the ads he has the information is very scant. No vins, vague info, poor history, etc., it almost seems like someone is selling them for him. Eg. maybe a bank?. You would think that if he's selling off his collection that he would know what he would have to put in an ad to appeal to the buying collectors?? https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...s/confused.gif

Re: 67 L-78 Pace Car Convertible

Re: 67 L-78 Pace Car Convertible
 

Look at the current bidder. He has "0" feedback. These fake auctions are getting to be very obvious.

Re: 67 L-78 Pace Car Convertible
 

The car is a real pace car, its one of the 06C Canadian built cars with the 0-1 paint code. The VIN is 124677N236170, if its the same one that was at Barrett Jackson in 2003 (how many other 67 L78/TH400 pacecars could there be). The car was originally an LF7/PG car, as all 10 of the small block pace cars made for Canada in June were 327 RS cars, not L48 RS/SS cars. If the owner F'ed it up by putting a fake trim tag on it, that's just too bad.

He is trying to pass it off as an original L78 pace car,It's up to $73,000,this is counterfeiting and has to stop.

Re: 67 L-78 Pace Car Convertible
 

Heres the same info I posted on Camaros.net:

Tag info added to the auction, no picture of it though:
VIN 124677N236170
O5A R
67-12667 NOR136896
732-Z O-1
D2MG 3SL
4K 5Y-
Don't know what this means maybe the stock number whan it was sold by MotorCity
MOTOR 1CTY 10W302354


It definately has a repro tag, interior and exterior codes are correct, as are most of the options but the body number is way to high for an 05A built car. So it probably is the correct body number on a repro tag with the build date changed and 4K added.

1 = Chevrolet
2 = Camaro
4 = 8-cylinder engine
67 = convertible body
7 = 1967 model year
N = Norwood, OH assembly plant
236170 = vehicle serial number sequence

Decode for body number: 136896

05A = Built the First week of May. (CHANGED BUILD DATE)
67-12667 = Custom Interior Convertible.
NOR = Built in Norwood Ohio.
732 = Custom Bright Blue Bucket Seats.
Z = (A50) Strato Bucket Seats.
O-1 = Lower Color is SPECIAL PAINT and the Convertible Top Color is White.
R = Interior paint is Bright Blue
Options:
1D = (C06) Power top convertible
2M = (M35) Powerglide Transmission
2G = (D55) Console front compartment
3S = (Z23) Interior Decor group
3L = (Z22) Rally Sport Package
4K = (L78) SS 396 (ADDED CODE)
5Y = (A39) Belts All Deluxe
- = Special Order/Fleet Code

Heres the original options the car came with:

A39 B37 B93 C05 C06 D55 D91 F41 J50 LF7 M35 N30 N40 N61 PW6 P02 U25 U26 U28 U35 U63 V31 V48 Z22 Z23 Z87

The car had a 396 700R4 trans and 4.10 gears in early 2003 and then showed up at BJ Scottsdale with the L78 later in 2003. Don't know when the tag got swapped.
