Now this is getting beyond ridiculous.
I cannot find anywhere where the owner or restorer is being slurred by or anyone else. If anything, the major criticism is with a magazine that is not doing a good job of transmitting the facts to people like me who want to understand more of these cars.
I don't want to worry about stepping on someone's toes in expressing an opinion or a question.

This Hemmings car has no proof of being an original L78. It certainly was not cloned correctly as an SS. Silver grill, no side gills, emblem placement, Holley R4557 carb, even an upside down air cleaner seal! The restorer also claims it's a Sports Car Coversion, which was not availible in 69 without a COPO order also-69ssZL1
As for the 9737....Where do you find 15" steels and what would the codes be? Should be rally wheels....I like the pic of the "test fit half quarter".How and why would you use a POS repop to test fit a NOS panel? Apples and oranges.My guess is the repop is on the car...Nice car, but far from correct..I ain't buying the stories..68L30

Aren't you coming off a bit too defensive?

Why is that so hard for you to believe? Were you there when this particular Camaro was built on the GM line.

I wasn't even BORN yet! But I must ask . . . were you there? Because the way you're asking me, you must have!
Think about it - why would Chevrolet make it a thing to add a black panel to all SS396 cars like the Chevelle, yet exempt a Camaro if it was black (or Fathom Green, for that matter)? Doesn't that sound like a logical question?

Maybe the person/dealer ordering this car decided they didnt want a blacked out rear panel.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Then that should be backed up with documentation; however, according to the article, some experts are in disagreement whether these cars were exempt from the black.

The car did not have a black out panel when and it came to us, but all the signs indicated it was a L78. And here is clue we built the car the way the customer wanted.

Bravo for the owner getting what he wanted! But it still doesn't answer the question.-442W30

You find it easy enough to pick apart a car that isn't yours....If you need the questions that you have answered...maybe you should call Hemmings...as you seem to believe everything else that they have printed...
Yea you're right...it definitely is
The offer still stands...show me what you got...let's feature it!
