Magnesium American mags in the wooden crate they got shipped in to Heinrich Chevrolet. These were for use on Gary Morgan's road race Camaro and are still owned by Gary Morgan.

Wow very nice! Talk about museum quality! Those need to be displayed just like they are.

Cool to see that!

Wow! ...and shipped from Chevrolet, not from American Racing. Looks like he has a full set there.

I just acquired a 1970 Shadow Gray, M21, 4.10, L78 Camaro that sold new at Heinrich Chevyland. Born with block/trans/rear, but major project. Have just begun the process of trying to track down previous owners.

Beautiful find there L16pilot...I'm jealous.

Awesome combo also Heinrich Delivered puts it over the top!

Thanks guys...and mine was one of two 70 L78 Camaros acquired that day from the same barn. The second is a Van Nuys, (with build sheet), Cortez Silver RS/SS L78 that was sold new in the Chicagoland area. My buddy Ron got this car and he's been working on this deal for 2 years...it all finally came together last weekend.

Wow!...what Chicagoland dealership was Rons L-78 sold from?

my error...not Chicagoland. His car sold originally from AC Hooker & Son in Sidell, IL. From the research he's done so far, AC Hooker was a car dealership and also sold Allis-Chalmers farm equipment! I told him about this thread and I'm sure he'll chime in soon with more details.

Yes correct, My car was sold from A C Hooker & Son Sidell Illinois. Anyone that has information about it. I would love to hear from you.

Huge congrats to both of you,only 600 1970 L-78 Camaros assembled,and you guys find two of them at once.:burnout:

Congrats, great find!

Great Find. Can't beat code 17 Shadow Grey and an L78 Wow!! We have a 1962 fuel injection Corvette that sold new at Heinrich Chevrolet. Here is a picture from Heinrich Chevy 1970 of the staff and a new 1970 Impala Convertible. I am sure one of those guys pictured was the salesman of your 70 L78.

WoW!..Very cool.
I'm thinking this was taken sometime after September 10th,1970 as there is a Vega Poster board in back right,and that's when it Debuted...Plus 1969 Chevrolet Sports Dept. lighted Signs and Banners on the back wall too.

That's a great photo and good eye about the Vega poster! Now all I need is one of those flux capacitors and a Mr. Fusion machine.......

Cool finds for you and Ron! Another Heinrich Camaro comes into light! Keep us posted on the reassembly/restoration.

Here are a few more Heinrich Chevrolet items.. Picture of the dealership 1960 and a 1967 newspaper ad.

Heinrich Dealer Emblem
 

Here is an old Heinrich dealer emblem - 1960's my guess

Here are the Heinrich Chevrolet Rochester NY emblems that I collected over the years arranged from oldest to newest design. I kept the top emblem because that is correct for my application and sold the others off.

Are you able to provide dates when each emblem was used? I'd like to seek out the correct emblem for my 70 L78 Camaro. Thanks in advance!

This would be correct for your 1970 Camaro. This style was used from approx 1967 into a least mid 1970s. If you see this same emblem pictured below with mounting holes that was exclusively used on heavy duty trucks (no idea why I guess they figured two way tape for cars screws for trucks???)

Starting from the top,is your #3 emblem a duplicate of #2?

Yes, #2 and #3 emblems are identical. There are 4 different styles over the years (that I have seen) 5 if you consider the heavy duty truck style with the mount holes.

Picked this patch up, thanks to my brother.

The one at the very bottom of photo showing the 5 emblems is identical to the one on the decklid of my 69 malibu 16k mile survivor so that should indicate what was correct at the time
