I bought a real L78 69 Camaro convertible from the original owner in the mid 70's

It too, had the dog dish wheels, the owner told us he wanted the highest horse engine he could get in a convertible. He ordered NOTHING else other than a convertible and the L78. The dealer "threw in" a console and a rear window defogger, and that was how the car was delivered. No ps, no power top, no radio, standard 3 speed trans, no posi, no tinted windows, no white letter tires, nothing. It was white on white standard interior, black side SS stripes.

We cleaned it up and painted it. Sold it to a kid that parked cars as a valet in the tonier section of Bloomfield Hills Michigan. The 1st thing he did was hack the door panels for speakers and install a aftermarket (day 2 for sure) stereo. Lost track of the car and haven't heard of it again.
