Nice ride Sam. Any docs? Was this originally an H. Orange car? Would you post a few more pix including undercarriage.

Good luck!

Re: 1969 Camaro SS L78 396/375
 

Looks like $44,900 asking price correct ?

Re: 1969 Camaro SS L78 396/375
 

Hey Sam,nice car,good luck with the sale. The only thing im looking at is do you really think its a 13k mile car?? I went back and looked at the ebay ad and they say nothing about that and you would think there would be some original stuff on a 13k mile car! Looks like everything has been replaced except the sheetmetal. Guess ya never know,maybe it was raced and had a hard life. Anyway its a cool looking camaro!!! Hope you get what you want. https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...lins/beers.gif

Paperwork and titles for 20 years show the milage, They specified it on the ad and sent me a list of the parts with numbers, some things on car point to an old race race...it is what it is, a very clean rust free great running car. I think you would have a hard time finding another SS big or small block in this condition at this price.

I don't rememember Chuck representing this car as a 13,000 mile ex-racecar or a documented L78 car. He had no docs when he owned it. The description gets better and better every time someone flips this car. If it sells on sYc will it suddenly become validated? https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...lins/dunno.gif

Not the same car, Im sure there were a few Hugger Orange L78's back in 69...You really have no right to insinuate anything and put my car into question. Do you have some kind of weird motive by saying this or do you make it a habit to discredit peoples cars in a public forum without having any facts. If you want to know facts just ask me, I gaurantee you I am the most honest person you will ever meet. otherwise why do you care and why would you make such a statement? https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...mlins/hmmm.gif

Re: 1969 Camaro SS L78 396/375
 

Sam, I don't know you or Kevin . I don't know anything about your car but I remember when Chuck had his car up for sale. I went back and found his listing for it. In reading it, I could understand why someone would think they are the same car. Here is a copy of his description of the car.
James

Hugger orange[72] and black and white interior. Van nuys car.It has had every wiring harness replaced,all new motor external components,redyed and restored 4346 carb,163 intake,correct head mark bolt sets on motor ardware as seen on most restos]gm hoses,rebuilt master,brand new replated booster,gm clamps,reverse lockout rods,all new chrome under hood,dated plug wires,delco eye battery,radiator,nos shroud,nos fan clutch,ce motor 4 speed PDB 331 12 bolt rear front and rear bgrds f and r spoilers,rosewood,chambered exhaust,tach and gauges,rebuilt leaf springs ,new gas tank and straps,all deep groove pullies,840 dated heads 272 4 bolt ce,new carpet,floors under carpet are MINT, brand new unused redline F70 14s on cleaned and paited correc tly YJ 14k7 original disc rims..pic was taken weeks ago car is currently being finished[dash and steering column and a few other misc items..inquire ..may take a trade on parts,possibly a car if im in the right mood or if i know someonbe whos looking for the type of trade you have,prefer to make some space and rather an outright buy but im always flexible...payment plan possible,interest free..

Re: 1969 Camaro SS L78 396/375
 

I imagine thats why someone else asked me that also, I emailed Chuck and asked him because I was and still am trying to get some history on it but he said it wasnt his car.
The carpet in my car is like new but not new, even has some good heel wear by the gas pedal under the mat, the gauges are old and original, the engine air cleaner is old, has the old fan,ect. There are other difference's also. I am planning on dropping the tank this weekend and find out what that piece of paper is over the passenger side of it.

Re: 1969 Camaro SS L78 396/375
 

I just found this post where someone was talking about the car before I got it and it was linked with the ebay ad, interesting..Im going to pull the spoiler and see if there is any writing on it,Or are they talking about the old one? When I talked to him before by email and gave him the vin he said it wasnt,Maybe he thought it was as they look similar? Must be why Musclecar Kid said that...Im going to check into this a little further..here is the post I found..
" <<<Solid car for sure...real colors hugger/black/white ,no panels of any type replaced from everything i saw and knew about the car it was a real L78....hes also done alot to the car since i had it,and 35k isnt a bad price at all compared to all the 60 and 70K L78s with fake pops and restamped motors as paperwork...i took the spoiler off the car and it said"L78 restored by so and so in 1982 "written in marker underneath etc...also had a heater box dated L68 and a 6000 tach which was original ...maybe you can contact the seller and see what you can do">>>

Re: 1969 Camaro SS L78 396/375
 

Sam, No one is trying to discredit your car and I don't make a habit of picking on other peoples cars ever! You say you emailed Chuck and he told you this was not his car. Well, he called me today and said this is in fact the very same Hugger orange 69 L78 Camaro he sold earlier this year. He sold to a guy from Maine. The ebay ad states it was also from Maine. Doesn't seem out of line to assume it could be the same car, as all the specs on the car match what Chuck's car had. Hugger/white, Van nuys, CE 396, etc. Nothing wrong with the car, but I can't figure out where all the history is coming from. Good luck on the sale.

Re: 1969 Camaro SS L78 396/375
 

I wonder why he told me it wasnt his, Looking back at the emails, I sent him the vin and he emailed back that it wasnt.
The history comes from a book of title copies showing mileage and owners, what else would I have to go on?
Im not representing the car as an all numbers matching 1000 point show car, never did. The titles go back and show mileage and Im going by that along with the overall condition of the car which is excellent. There is no question to it being a real L78, even Chuck admits that. In the future it would be nice if you would have the curtisy to PM any issues you have with me or my cars instead of dragging it through a public forum.

Some of the titles are as follows,I have a title from a Jeffery Lickwola in Lisbon ct from 1990 showing low 13k mileage and paid close to 15 grand...
Oldest title is 1982 from texas owner Steven Sansing in Bay City with 13K mileage. Looks like this guy didnt use it much about 200 miles of use, im still looking for him.. Anyone know this guy?
