How about the blue 1968 L78 that Chris brought to the Fall Vettefest? That car had great history and paperwork all from Chicago. Just love those bare bones (radio delete)L78 cars. I did get to drive it once, the brakes didn't work, so I went slow.

I've got a 68 L78 M22 & 4.56 with NOM and all the paper docs. I bought it from the original owning family in the same town the car was delivered. Anyone remember it at Wayne Meinert's eighth mile track in St. Louis AKA Gateway? OK, so it doesn't have the original block but it also has some other qualities I appreciate and value in a car. Those factors just dont seem to add value like those tiny factory digits

I paid 35K for the car a few years ago. I knew at the time it was a premium but I wanted it so it did'nt matter too much. I guess with current economics it would be worth about the same now as then? Hope that helps with the original question some.

My car is original paint with 15K original miles.......on the body anyway. It has a really nice original deluxe interior and vinyl top with the plastic rain gutters still attached. Full gauges and radio delete as well.

That POP looks very much like mine. Only about 8000 later in the same month and both cars with BW code rearends. Unfortunalely, someone changed mine. I have only found 2 BW code rearends during the years Ive worked on the car and both were later than mine. I bought the closest one I could but it is a couple months too late. I've been told that 4.56's had to be ordered but Im sure that my car was not ordered for anyone and just showed up at the dealer as BW equipped.

Dave,
I had an all original 1968 L34 with the same hub Caps, but my wheels were painted black not body color. I take it that your wheels were originally Red?

I had a chance to look your former Camaro over and it is a very special car. Red/Red and Black/Red Bowties seem to demand a premium in the market place.
