I know where an early May car is that’s cowl tag says 4P but the P Plate say MQ. No engine setting in a garage for many years but NFS. Sherman G. and I have discussed this several times about how many were built. He says under fifty.

Thanks for the response. If you look at the 67 Z28 registry there are just over a third known of the 602 built and that registry has been around a long time. I think under 50 seems a little low but if there was a registry we could make a pretty good estimate.

Phil, the 1138 represent all 67 Camaro L78's. Convertibles l78s are ultra rare, and would estimate 10% or so of the engines were installed in convertible so perhaps 114 L78 convertibles were built. There are a few enthusiasts that focus just on 67 L78's and they may have better estimate based on their data.

Default Verts

I bought my car in 1995 and have been interested in the 4K’s for quite awhile. You don’t see many coupes and especially vert cars. I remember seeing one in Hemings around 97 or so. It was ermine white with white top drag car in Canada. Richard from Coast To Coast had a purple one, Sherman’s Bat Car, George’s car, the white one the guy won’t sell. All I can think of, just not many I know of.

67 4k-Richard, I was just speaking with Mike, whom you purchased your car from in 1995. We were just talking about your car..

That's a very good estimate in this case.
