SuperCars,
There is a member and he can chime in if he chooses who has a very special '69 Pace car with L89 and JL8.

DjD,
While the number of L78 Camaro rag tops produced is low it is not that low. (I wish it was as I have one [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img] I would guesstimate that several hundred were produced, but no one knows for certain thus far. The ones to have survived with Documentation are few and far between.

I believe CRG has data based many of the known L78-rag tops.

I figured there were more than 7 L78's produced but the number 7 has come up several times and was published in a Camaro Performers a while bask as being the number known to exist. A guy named Warren owned the one in CP at the time the photo shoot was done, I wonder if there was something I missed to make it 1 of 7 known?

DJD..I think Warren was quoting maybe just a known # of maybe real cars that are accounted for... Stephano I disagree on your guestimate of several hundred being built because during the years I owned mine I actively looked for others but they were few and far between. There just aren't many out there and Convertibles just don't get Junked the way Coupes do.

Maybe one of the CRG will see this and share their numbers on the L78...

Anyone have an idea how many 67 L78 (396/375hp) ragtops were built? There's a nice red-on-black one in my area I'm thinking of asking about... [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/crazy.gif[/img]

There was a 67 L78 rag sold out of Fred Gibb. It usually show up at the show. I'm thinking it a 1 of on the color and other options. Schonye
