Friendly Chevrolet 427 Camaro Pics

[MrMotion]

Hey Whitetop, you are not alone! This 68 SSL78 that my son and I are in the process of restoring is going to be "period correct".
The original owner was a GM R/D engineer who worked on the MarkIV project and from his experience with Mr.Bill Jenkins and the likes of Wally Booth and Smokey Yunick he states that the can-am block was used in some of the Camaros at that time. He ran this Camaro in A stock class with a best time of 10.90 and using the stock 396 SHP engine to Motion Performances L72 conversion to a Can-Am block. He also has newspaper clippings of the car running this fast at Detroit Dragway in the 68-69 season. We will be not restoring this car to assembly line specs but to street and strip armourment of the day. When I sit in this car I feel like I am back in 1968. My 1970 Chevelle LS6 also ran 11.87 @ 117mph in 1971. I only like purist cars that are truly unmolested.
