Which would you buy? OM L78 or NOM Z28 - 1967

Interesting scenario.

L-78 with original powertrain gets my vote, but if that one went away I'd get the other one.

That comment in quotes, was that a friend's comments on why they sold their car?

Personally if I had a solid lifter car I'd want to do it myself, it's not hard.

Thanks John.

No, they were comments that I made in another thread that was about cashing out due to the current high prices. I sold my SS350 recently (although it is still in my garage due to a wire transfer screw-up) and have been thinking about what, if anything, I should buy next.

It's nice to see the L78 get some love as for years they really weren't on a lot of people's radars. I'm surprised at how many people chose that option, but totally get the OM vs non-OM thinking.

I wouldn't mind owning either of them. With that being said I would have to go with the L78 as the original motor would clinch it for me.
