1970 Camaro SS396 REAL DEAL needs finishing..

[Hotrodpaul]

Looks like a 350 Hp L34. Is the rear gear a 3.31 posi?

Very nice car for the money, should be a looker when finished.

Its a 396/350hp car. The car is very solid and all there.

I'll check the rear end number tommorow.. Ive never looked for a built sheet where are all the locations there in on a 70? Maybe I get lucky and find one.

Looks like a Van Nuys built Camaro with BL on the trim tag. The LA plant frequently put build sheets on top of the gas tank before installation. With a little luck it may still be there. Also, check under the carpet, behind the rear seat, in the front seats, etc. My 70 Z-28 is a LA built Camaro that once spent time in Minnesota (I found a parking receipt for University of Minnesota dated late 1970 under the seat)and ended up in Georgia. Good thing since the car has virtually no rust.

Also, check the axle tube stamping for the three letter code and build date. I found the VIN stamped on the Turbo 400 right above the pan rail on the drivers side. The LA plant sometimes used letters of different font sizes. Can you post a pic of the Engine, Trans, and Rear Axle stamp? Thanks,

Paul

Looks like a very decent solid project car. I wish that I were a bit closer, so the shipping wouldn't be such a huge factor. If I could swing by with my trailer, I would be there to check it out.

I've got two LA built 70 L34s, and I found the build sheets for each of them under the carpet pad in front of and under the drivers seat.

Finally made it out to my buddies shop (he is putting new seal etc in the motor) Checked trans tonight it also it 100% original and correct it still has the tag and the vin is clearly legible on the lower driver side (thanks Greg). The car is so unmolested Im really starting to have second thoughts about selling it will be a cool car when its complete.
