Re: Newbie here........
Rich, great story about a great car!
 I have only had my L78 for about a year and a half, I have the motor out now for an overhaul. It sure is a lot of fun to drive!  I'll bet a dozen or more of these 600 cars are owned by members of this site. -Sam

Re: Newbie here........
Nice ride Sam....love the split bumper cars. I don't know how many self-proclaimed Camaro gurus have told me over the years that I should swap out the full length front bumper for the short ones and make it a rally sport. I know what you mean about driving the car around town. I love the look on peoples faces when I stop at a light. Most people have no idea what it is. They just look around and wonder. Enjoy your car when you get it done. My car still "wows" me every time I crack the throttle...

Thanks Sam.....what is the difference between a standard bumper and the VF3 ??? [/ QUOTE ] Hey Bob, you keep asking the questions and I'll research the answers, it's a good way to keep learning new stuff about my car...  VF3 included thin black plastic cushions front and rear, and rear bumper guards. The Illustrated Camaro Recognition Guide Volume 2: 1970 to 1973 (John R. Hooper) shows VF3 on both standard and RS Camaros in the Exterior Section (Chapter 14 in my copy). Check out pages 156 and 158.  -Sam

Re: Newbie here........
The cushion ran the length of the bumper (or bumperette) parallel to the ground along the rounded leading edge of the bumper farthest away from the sheet metal.
As you can easily see when looking at THIS car...
