Default Re: My L78 Christmas!

If I remember correctly, the original owner was from Cinci.
I tracked down his brother, who remembered the car well. They applied a light shading of black underneath, out of a spray can, to reduce the glare at night. The cowl hood and rear spoiler were dealer addons. The clear coat was added by the second owner, his name excapes me now, who I spoke with as well. He did that for show purposes. Besides being in HJ's book, the car was also featured on the very popular 1st gen Camaro poster. When we had the car, it had the same aftermarket BFG tires as in the poster.

The car was so nice that a few shows would not let me in the unrestored class, saying there was no way it was original.

As Rob said, that puppy would haul as-. Hated to part with it, but did so to buy our Yenko Camaro.
