I know that was alot of money but he wouldn't sell it. The guy started at 15k and ended up at 40k. He told me he was a neighbor from the city with alot of money. He just wanted to buy it and put it away. Just going on what the guy told me.

Saw the car at Lebanon Valley yesterday. Looked like a very original survivor. Should be cleaned and detailed then driven and enjoyed. Keep from being an overdone trailer queen. They are only original once!!!

I just noticed that this car has a 4-core bent neck radiator.

Anyone know how many L/78's came so equipped?

Nuch

I wouldn't even clean and detail the engine. Then it looks like EVERY single other one out there. When you see an engine out like the one in that car, you just KNOW that you're looking at the real thing with nobody asking 'is it real or a clone?' No questions here.

A friend of mine had a 69 L78 Vert w/the bent tube radiator, it was a survivor too, I think the air condition radiators were used as needed to keep production going ??

Hi Jason,

I am involved with Vintage Camaro, a program that provides recognition and certifies survivor camaros at the GM nationals @ Carlisle. Below is a summary of our program. Please pass it along to the owner of the car. We would love to look the car over at next years GM nationals.

Thanks,

Steve

VINTAGE CAMARO PROVIDES THE FOLLOWING:


• Encourages the preservation, status, recognition and appreciation of unrestored Camaros

• Offer the hobbyist the opportunity to have their Camaro certified objectively and fairly

• Promotes and adheres to the philosophy that the original car showing wear is preferable to one that is improperly restored

• Vintage Camaro represents a repository of factory correct standards by which the hobby and serious restorers can all benefit

• Vintage Certification identifies a Camaro as having completed a thorough exhausting inspection process, which references factory standards, and at a level as certified by Vintage Camaro

Vintage Certifications levels are divided into four divisions:


• Vintage Legend - Camaros that are 80%-90% unrestored in all reference areas.
• Vintage Legacy - Camaros that are minimally 50% unrestored, in three out of five reference areas.
• Vintage Reference - Camaros that are unrestored in at least one Vintage Reference Area.
• Camaro Icon - Camaros that have original-unrestored components disbursed throughout.

Reference Areas: Certification consists of two areas of consideration, Originality (90%) and Preservation (10%). Reference areas are as follows:

• Engine Compartment Area
• Exterior Body
• Interior Body
• Underbody
• Trunk

What are the benefits of Vintage Certification???
• Vintage Camaro is unique, because it provides recognition, value and status to unrestored (survivor) Camaros.

• Provides documentation, and verifies the Camaros pedigree.

• Provides the owner with a detailed listing of correct and incorrect items

• Our goal is to uncover new information and share it with you.
