Don't see these everyday...
 

Friend of a friend chased this car forever, finally go it, and man was it worth it. 68 SS/RS L78, orig everything except for headers, wires, tires and filters. Orig (hammered) paint, drivetrain never out of car (runs real wheel), bought from orig owner who kept every piece of paper since new. LOADED with options, tilt wheel, quad stereo thingy, real time piece.

Very cool. Would like to add it to my database if you don’t mind sending me the info. Thanks & congrats to the new owner.

Next time I get over there, I'll see if I can grab it

Wow, that's a find. I'd imagine the MCACN attendees would love to see it this year.

whats that line going over the heater hoses? fuel?

Interesting...double alternator belts? Due to radio-multiplex option?
Looks to be loaded with options.

Wow...MCACN please. Congrats on him getting it.

L78
 

Another one with double belts on the alternator. I bet the car was built in LA? That’s the fourth totally original L78 I have seen with double belts . Would like to see the fan and clutch. I can bet it has the Eaton fan clutch. The double belts have nothing to do with the smog .

I tuned up the picture to better show the twin belts.

Dang Mikey, you ain’t just a car restoring virtuoso, now you are dominating the digital world too!:laugh: What’s next?!!!!:worship:

That's a incredible car. I have never seen a double alt belt 375hp car before. Was that camaro only? Thanks for sharing, this site in awesome.

The double belts is a new one for me. Why?

The perfect survivor and driver......"go ahead a scratch the paint, I don't care"....lol.

Great little ride.

I guess I might git me one of those fancy wrist watches you gotta plug in every night...:hmmm:

Belts
 

The double belts are crazy looking. Have photos of the other three original cars if anyone would like to see them.

what are the knobs on the console?

Cool 68 F-body Brochure car (Configuration)

Multiplex stereo knobs

would be interesting to see what number is on the alternator

So cool! Thanks for posting.

Alternator
 

The alternator part number on a 67 would be the 693 . The 68 would be the hard to find 814 .

Was there a heavy duty alternator option? That might explain the dual belts.

Very nice,What's going on with the headliner?

Alternator
 

No heavy duty alternator. 693 is the base 37 amp

Love the car. Red on red deluxe interior survivor and an L78 = Score of the year material.

BTW, was told this car spent its entire life outside under a carport

Appears to be fuel line, probably re-routed and 'insulated' due to heat from headers.

Fuel lines are common to be moved when headers are installed

Long Island car?

Wow wow wow... Killer find!

He shoots... he scores!!!! What a car, I say. WHAT A CAR! Congrats.

Please don’t tell me he’s going to restore it.

Yes. Excellent find. Congrats to the hunter.


Red Red Deluxe. MMMMMMMMMMMMMMM
