67 Camaro L78

The #1 Indy pace car was the first car with a factory installed l78 Camaro, however it was replaced with an L34 prior to race duties. Grumpy Jenkins 67 L78 was the first available for sale. I believe they were built mid March 67.

I've heard there were reliability concerns and the noise of the solid lifters. I don't no, perhaps Charley can provide some insight.....
