Re: 1969 Camaro L78
I have some great photos from Muscle Car Review in 1990. There is a centerfold of the car in that issue. Talks about a ball joint breaking while backing up and the restoration that followed.

Re: 1969 Camaro L78
Good memory Tim. It was the Cover Car as well. There is an L78 Camaro Convertible registry starting up soon.

Bob Harris spent 850 hours on this car and said this was the tightest convertible he has ever seen and worked on. Every inspection mark on the chassis was intact, because it had be undercoated when brand new at the dealership, before delivery. They hand wired brushed the entire undercarriage to preserve every mark. Not ONE pinhead of rust on the entire car.

Re: 1969 Camaro L78
Warren,
As you know the car runs as well as it looks. It is one of my favorite cars. I have to thank Charley for helping me get that car. I think the L-78 rags in the Camaros and Chevelles are great cars and have been somewhat under appreciated. Last year I bought the Royal Plum 67 that belonged to Richard M of Coast 2 Coast. It's a great car but can't compare to your old car. Daniel told me that CRG knows of about 20 1967 L-78 rags but I haven't heard any numbers on the 69s. A registry would be great.

Re: 1969 Camaro L78
Kurt, I believe there are significantly more 69 L78 rags. The ICC 69 pace car registry had more than a dozen pace car l78 rags registered.
