Vehicle Description
1969 L78 Chevrolet Camaro SS X66 Description Here is a great X66
(396 SS) Camaro. This is one of the penultimate of Camaros, this
one has a replacement block L78 396 with the casting number of
3955272 with a minimum of 375 horse power. The original block was
replaced under warranty, imagine that. This well restored unit
comes to us from the previous (3rd) owner that has had the car
since 1979 and he purchased it from the second owner and did the
restoration to a very high standard. Finished in correct correct
code 67 Burgundy (less than 3% were done in this color) with
standard Black interior and a Red Hockey Stick stripe. Those horses
are channeled through a Muncie M21 4 speed with a 12 bolt 4.10 Posi
rear end. The paint is exceptional and the interior is nice as new.
The equipment level includes AM/FM radio and power brakes with
front discs. This car was sold new at Fred Gibbs Chevrolet in Le
Harpe, Il according to previous owner that has spoken with the
first owner and others that know of the car from it's early days.
This is one that didn't go far from it's original home and has
local provenance. This car was ordered as an all out Street Brawler
with few frills, thus no spoilers or power steering. The first
owner ordered the car but forgot to check the stripe delete box and
Chevy had an edict that all SS cars were to leave the factory with
a stripe unless stripe delete noted on the order form so the plant
chose the Red Hockey Stick. This created some irritation between
the owner and Gibbs Chevrolet. We really don't know how that worked
out but it's there today. If you are looking for a very well done
and awesome driving first generation Camaro with all the Ponies
