If it is documented as being one of the 600 produced,it could bring much more.
Which Transmission does it have?

4 speed, not sure which one though. Price will probably be somewhere in the $20-30K range. And it is #'s matching with p-o-p and probably more paperwork.

According to GM all 600 were 4 speeds, but a guy that Charley Lillard knows has an auto and says he has a buildsheet to prove it. As of yet, the buildsheet has not been posted to the web for anyone to look at it. [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/dunno.gif[/img]

I have received many pictures of the above car which I cant attach because file are too big. Mike (THUNDER above) and I both already own 70 L-78 Camaros, but were persuing this car because of its R/S option, Deluxe Interior, and paperwork. After looking at pictures of extensive "surface" rust the car at the very least needs TOTAL restoration. Its already been repainted an incorrect shade of Gold previously. No way to know what if any rust damage this repaint might be hiding. Car also needs dash pad, misc rechroming, misc interior resto, smog equip, etc etc. The market price on RESTORED 70 L-78 Camaros is really non existant as so few restored cars exist and thus turn over. Most of the 70 L-78's like mine are still unrestored survivors or missing original drivetrain obviously devaluing any resto......Seattle Sam just bought a restored 70 Camaro L-78 that Ive yet to see.
Anyway this above mentioned 70 L-78 is being offered for $30K or maybe less, but car needs alot PLUS PAINT so you figure the bottom line and I'm sure you'd currently be upside down, but who knows down the road what it would be worth. Having one myself I hope the value goes straight UP!!!! Chuck S/Seattle
