1970 L-78 Camaro

[CamarosRus]

I must correct myself on L-34's and TCS, as I viewed the below picture of Dale R's 70 L-34 Camaro....bought new and still owned.

Mr 70, Both 1970 L-34(1800 built)and L-78(600 built) Camaros had the TCS system. The removal of an L-78 engine and/or the A.I.R. "Smog" apparently would leave NO evidence I can think of. Without a Norwood trim tag, L.A. build sheet, POP, Window Sticker, Invoice or 6500/7000 Tach I dont know how to PROVE 70 L-78 Camaro. I'm going to say that the 4 spd L-78 was standard with 3:55 gears while the L-34 4 spd was standard with 3:31.....but obviously subject to RPO changes.....all SS's and Z-28's had 12 Bolt (LAST Year)

In that old ad it said/says that they have the build sheet. That said, with all of the good fakeries these days, who knows what it is..
I will be glad to take whatever pics that I can. I'll have to talk to them to be able to get the hood open and snap the cowl/trim tag.

LOL on the sandpaper and getting shot part. I could probably stand there for an hour and nobody would even blink. The paint looks to be old and thick...I might need to use a grinder ...
If they shot me, they'd probably kick my bloated carcass to the side and use it to deter future sandpaper attempts. If the stinkin' snow melts soon, I can hopefully shimmy my belly underneath and get the axle code and take more pics.

Don't rule out the TH400 on a 1970 L78 Camaro just yet..Charley hint hint.
Like most cars,the transmission suffix code & rearend suffix code will tell what engine it was built with on the line,if indeed they are in fact still the original Transmission & rearend.
I am getting more & more inquiries from people asking me what Trans. & rearend suffix their cars engine should have.
I feel those cloners are catching onto this.
You know who you are...

I am a little skeptical about the white L78 with the TH400; it may very well be 1 of 1
but until he comes up with a build sheet as far as I am concerned that car is a
Conversion. I don’t understand what the problem is with showing it, I have been in
this hobby long enough to know that anything is possible, Even a 70 SS/L78 with a
TH-400. I have also learned that talk is Cheap, I hope that one day he will show it and
it is for real. That would really be something to trace back to see how and who had it
built.

L34 Camaro’s had 2 fuel lines going to the pump. Only the LT1 and L78 solid lifter engines with a Holly had a single line.

He has come up with a build sheet.He has shown the build sheet to many people. He has brought the build sheet to Camaro club meetings. The people I know that have seen it are smart enough to know a fake. The guy has absolutely no reason to make it up. He does not want his build sheet out there all over the net. He has dug his heels in about giving it out partly because of all the experts saying he is faking it. Come to Ca and ask to see it . He will probably show it to you but I don't think he is gonna let you make a copy of it. He drives the car to club events sometimes for everyone to see. I myself have not seen it yet because each time he has brought the sheet to a club meeting in his folder of paperwork on all his cars I have not been there. I'll still bet anyone 5,000.00 that the build sheet is real. Any takers ?

Charlie it was my understanding that he would not show the build sheet to anyone. Bob Routt offered to fly out at his own expense to validate Jack’s car. Hear is a quote from Bob. (((“I have offered to fly at my expense to look over and document the car and look at the Build Sheet. When it came crunch time the owner backed out and was never heard of again”))) Charlie You are well respected by myself and the rest of the Musclecar/Supercar community and if the day ever comes that you can get a glimpse of the paperwork on Jacks L78 and YOU agree that it is real
I will then be a believer and I am sure the rest of the people that also share my opinion will agree that it is in fact a 70/L78 with the (M40) option. The one thing “We do all agree on” is that it is a Very Nice Car. I don’t blame him for keeping his paperwork confidential and not posted all over the internet………………

Im confused, thought we were talking about the orange camaro in colorado. It's easier to keep track when only talking about the car this tread is about. Roger
