Earliest date of 1967 big block Camaro build...

[1903USMCUnertl]

While researching a 1965 L78 Corvette roadster which came from Hechler, I spoke to a couple of guys who knew the dealership. Apparently Hechler had at least 4 L78 Camaros in 1967, which is interesting given the number built and the dealerships relative size. They were a large (sold units) Corvette and high performance dealer but tend to “fly under the radar.”

The confirmed ‘67’s to date (might be a couple of more based on conversation)

1) Blue non-RS (member here)
2) Butternut Yellow non-RS 4:56 car (Original Owner)
3) Butternut Yellow RS 4:10 car which above owners friend bought at the same time and car was totaled
4) Capri Cream or Butternut Yellow car non-RS thought to still be around but different car than the OO car.

Apparently there might have been a red L78 which was thought to have been sold at Hechler as well and possibly (?) went to Motion for some work. Was supposed to have been owned by a guy with a sketchy background (drugs and girls) who also owned a C3 ‘Vette Motion worked on or built. Rumor is he had some connections to Frank Lucas.

Also possibly another blue RS car which ended up a drag car
