Jerry MacNeish certified real L78 396-375 hp Camaro. Only 1,138
were made total, less than 1/2 of 1%! Too make it even more rare it
is a special color. It has been restored to original standards.
Exceptionally clean original metal, California built car. Very
believable 67,246 original miles.
EXTERIOR: Rare special order paint code. O orange. The body looks
amazing. I believe it to be the original metal. It does have the
original quarter panels; bottom of the doors and fenders are dry.
It is absolutely straight, no damage, bubbles or body work showing.
The panel's fit real nice, doors close like new. It is painted
special ordered orange color, code OO. No vinyl top. It is polish
smooth and glossy, better than new. It has the painted black nose
stripe, pin stripe and rear panel. The grill, bumpers, emblems,
moldings, door handles, taillights look really good. It looks like
it has its original glass. The window seals and door weather strips
were replaced. It is sitting on 14 inch rally wheels with correct 1
year only caps. Reproduction Wide Oval redline tires.
INTERIOR: It has a no frills interior, its even a radio delete car.
I believe the door panels and upholstery could be original. They
are not abused; they are actually very nice. The carpet, headliner
and dash pad were probably replaced.
ENGINE COMPARTMENT: Chevy lied! The L78 actually made 425 hp, 50
more than the advertised 375 hp. It also has a stump pulling 445
lbs of torque. They featured a hot solid lifter cam, 11.5:1
compression, big square port heads with up sized valves, an
aluminum high rise intake with a 780 Holley feeding it fuel. This
is a period correct and 375 hp coded motor. It is restored like
factory new. It has the correct chrome open element air cleaner and
chrome valve covers. It also has factory deep groove pulleys
because you don't want the belts flying off at high RPMs. Correct
battery spring clamp cables. Cadmium plated power brake booster.
The distributor, fuel pump, clutch fan, shroud all have a stock
appearance. All the components are proper and clean. The metal
surfaces are painted smooth. The wiring harness is replaced.
TRUNK COMPARTMENT: Under the trunk lid and the jamb is painted
smooth and glossy. Inside is perfectly clean metal. I don't see any
splices or patches. It has been correctly spatter painted with a
spray gun. The weather strip and tail light housings look new.
UNDERSIDE: Its original California metal appears to be clean and
dry, no rust or patches. The front end steering and suspension has
been rebuilt. In back it has the correct mono leaf springs and a
square traction bar that's unique to the big blocks. Correct dual
exhaust system with a transverse muffler. The fuel system has been
replaced including the tank, straps and sending unit. It has disc
brakes in front, drums in back. E-brake assembly is hooked up.
Looking up at the motor it is clean Chevy Orange, the starter looks
fresh. It has the correct canister type oil filter. It has a
correct 1967 Muncie 4-speed trans and a 12 bolt rear end.
SERVICE: We inspected the car and replaced the reverse light
switch, replaced the throw out bearing, installed a new speedometer
cable and gave it a wheel alignment.
CONCLUSION: This is a rare, investment grade car. They only made
602 Z28s in 1967 and I found dozens that sold at auction. I
couldn't find 1 L78! With the MacNeish certification you can rest
assured it's real!
I, Jay Grams, take pride in personally writing the descriptions for
virtually every car for about the last 30 years now. A significant
amount of effort goes into fact checking. What I am offering is my
professional impression of the vehicle. Our salesmen are happy to
assist with descriptions and making sure your questions are
answered. One great suggestion is letting us do a walk around video
that explains the car's condition in detail. **These cars are
displayed in a museum. If interested in a particular car, make an
appointment with a salesman to see that car. Without an appointment
there is an admission fee to enter the showroom. If you buy a car,
your admission will be refunded, and you will be given a 1 year
membership.
