I believe Brooklyn Heavy owned the 1968 car after Grump sold it. Wish I knew where the 69 car was and also Stricklers 1969 Z/28.

Carmen had the 68...My dad has a lot of stories about that one. It was the strongest 12 bolt they had ever seen...They thought the ring and pinion was heat treated or something..it never broke. Also the front wheels were staggered...it allowed the car to move first...and not red light. there were a few other tricks..ill have to ask my dad.

I think Dana Mecum bought the 67 L78 Camaro this past year. I know that L. Kimball wanted one million for it. Don't know what the actual sales transaction was.

Jenkins sold the 68 L89 Camaro to Carmen Rotonda and it's location is not known. The 69 L78 is also still missing in action.

Hi, I know this is kind of a late response but, I'm Larry Kimball's grandson. He sold the camaro that he restored for 750,000. I would know, I counted all the cash. I believe it was sold to guy who was going to put it in a museum in PA. I can't really remember all the details from where this guy was from or where he was putting it, as I was only 12 or 13 at the time. If you guys' have any more questions just reply here and I'll do my best to help you out [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/smile.gif[/img]
