Hmmmmm. It would have to be the earliest L78 with that block ever recorded and I asked the seller for the stampings on the motor and he said they were not there. I am curious as to the casting date, which I asked for and never received. Maybe the new owner can post the date. Without stampings the car in my mind is way questionable.
Unless they might show up as well. Hmmmm.

Not to take away the excitement of the sale and purchase but why would things that were not there when asked all of a sudden show up??

I call the vent that goes behind the hood under the windshield the rocker panel maybe its called the cowl vent grill?. I own another 67 camaro.

Most people who own these cars know the difference between a rocker panel and a cowl vent panel.

If the studs are there then why does the rearend have no bracket for the bar?? Because the rearend is way early for and the car is late.

Sorry, but things just don't add up and I would be a hesitant.

Oh yeah, please paint that firewall.

Still a nice car but I still have strong doubts.

I think everyone on the board had an interest, but things did not add up. I thought the block was a 1968 block. Certainly could be a real one, but tough to prove. Still not a bad price for a 67 RS convert regardless of how it started life.

In 1967 only 1,138 Camaros were produced as an L-78. Of those how many were convertibles?? I am willing to bet damn few which in my book would make this car a top notch rare contender. Worth far more then what he ended the auction at.

I myself was very interested in this car until the pieces started to fall apart.

From what I have seen and read I highly doubt this car is what was advertised. Unless someone produces legit paperwork and post some valid info such as block and other component dates, in my mind, and I am willing to bet a lot of others as well, that this car is just a nice 1967 SS convertible as above has stated.

I wish the new owner (if there is one) luck with this car.
