Found 70 old pics today that might help out those looking for resto shots. I’ll post a few each day. 1967 L78 with 10,000 original miles from Glockner Chevrolet.

Long story…but the car sat entombed from about a year old until the early 2000’s. The then 80 plus year old Father of the original owner changed those things to prepare it for sale. He kept all of the original parts and they went with the car.

Pro Stock John 02-06-2022 02:49 AM

Awesome car.

Did his son pass away in 1968?

Though some say the 67 cars didn’t have the PBT stamps this one clearly does.
Built 3 weeks after mine.

cook_dw 02-06-2022 12:44 PM

Many did have PBT but had them on the tulips behind the fenders.

Yes, he was murdered for helping out a young black man being harassed in a bar near Fort Brag where he was stationed. Very sad story.

I noted previously my1967 7B Nor Camaro had the stampings on the firewall and on tulips. There were some skeptics, but this confirms at least two had inspection markings on their firewall.

On both sides on this car…

1967 4K 02-06-2022 01:39 PM

The firewall had been blasted in some manner and no sign of PBT were present when I bought my car. Both tulips on my car are OP and there a two green PT’s on the left side, none on the right.
I think this is the first Mountain Green 4K I’ve seen. Nice ride.

Zedder 02-06-2022 01:45 PM

Stefano had a MG L78 for sale here a few years ago, if I recall.

That's where I found mine. 03-C build.

plumL78 02-06-2022 04:30 PM

That car also has the very rare filler piece between the 8 track and bottom of the dash with the camaro emblem

Looks like the trunk stickers may have been replaced? Doesn't matter, just an observation. Either that or they are the nicest original ones I have ever seen. Danny

scuncio 02-06-2022 04:37 PM

Incredible car. Anyone know where it is today?

I would be surprised if it was replaced, but another member thinks the same thing. These pics were taken before the car changed hands from the original owner’s family. It would be interesting to know why they would go to that trouble but not use the correct hose clamps and water pump? I guess we’ll never know!

plumL78 02-06-2022 04:48 PM

It i remember correctly it also has the small diameter base clutch fan

I have a better pic of the clutch fan on my back-up drive, but I must have skipped transferring it last night.

This bracket is a new one on me. Is this a 67 only bracket?

Is it gloss,is it satin, is it matte? Here come the questions on the rear blackout finish.

Correct, and he sold it to a couple that are friends of mine. They still own it.

Nothing beats a true survivor car…nothing.

Cool meter is pegged. Beautiful car. Thanks for sharing.

Hi Mark, isn't this the Camaro that Dave Miner used to own (rest in peace)?

67since67 02-06-2022 09:11 PM

The average ambient outside temperature at Norwood during the first week in June was 60's and 70's. The week of the build the ambient outside temperature hovered in the mid 80's.

So yes that panel looks about right for the likely interior temperature which was about 25 degrees hotter than ambient especially on the lines near the ovens.

No doubt about it. The Positraction decal is a repo.. As are the air cleaner decals. Also has a little black spray bomb on the fenders near the core support.
