That Gold L78 4 speed really pulls on my heart strings.

Would love to see some close up pictures.

Oh you guys. If this had been a member's car we would all be saying what a great survivor it was and fairly priced! ;-)

No sale ......The Camaro owner thinks he got a gold mine There ( more like a golden turd)
Good luck on that sale.
Car needs full resto.... And then some...</div></div>

That's too bad your friend didn't get the car. Did he inspect the condition of the floors, trunk, frame etc...? The reason I ask is the bottom of the driver's side door looked decent in the one picture. Did he confirm it was a numbers matching motor?

It sounds like the owner is firm which is too bad as it would probably sell if he came down a little. As long as it has the original drivetrain, paperwork really isn't an issue but he's trying to sell the BM story without anything substantial backing it up.

Thanks for the update, Kurt

Actually, this has already been done at MCACN. The original &quot;barn find&quot; appearance at MCACN was the 1967 427/435 Corvette that we had in the 2011 show. It was shod with whitewall snow tires, exactly as found!

25k won't buy it.

He should take that 25K.

Not sure I would say that Tony. Does not look like alot has survived on that car from here.

Out of curiosity.... Do many 69 Camaro L78's have their original engines? I ask because many 70 Z28's don't, but have trim tags that denote them as Z28's. When I am looking at a 70Z, I personally value it more if it is an original engine vehicle.

I agree that 25 would be a fair number for this car, but if this was your &quot;dream&quot; car, 30k for a keeper is not that big a difference in the grand scheme of things.

Just my experience Sam, but I have to disagree. Even in the early 1990s when I was looking for my first car, most of the 1st gen X33/X66 Camaros already had small blocks or incorrect 454s. The fact that this thing has survived in a late-70s time warp with the original motor is pretty amazing IMO. We're talking 35-ish untouched years.

In that respect YES. But how much can really be saved as in &quot;survivor&quot; status is questionable. Would not mind having it but I think it would take alot of work to make it a strong #2 car!
