Original engine convertibles.
 
I know this question has been asked before but I would like to know if anyone has current info. The 67 Camaros are of particular interest to me. Thanks.

To be more specific he is asking about 67 L78 Camaro converts....

What kind of info are you looking for?

PhilS 05-15-2020 07:42 PM

Looking for known 4k rags and info on the number of original engine rags. With 1138 total it seems more rags would surface.

dino67 05-15-2020 08:03 PM

Only ones that I know of is the Bat Car and George O's. I don't think too many are around.
I have one (with a CE block). Let me know if I can be of any further help.

I have the original motor from my L78 Conv.been on a stand since 1979. I took motor out in 1979 sold the car(idiot) The owner of the chassis won’t sell me back the car.

I know where an early May car is that’s cowl tag says 4P but the P Plate say MQ. No engine setting in a garage for many years but NFS. Sherman G. and I have discussed this several times about how many were built. He says under fifty.

Thanks for the response. If you look at the 67 Z28 registry there are just over a third known of the 602 built and that registry has been around a long time. I think under 50 seems a little low but if there was a registry we could make a pretty good estimate.

Phil, the 1138 represent all 67 Camaro L78's. Convertibles l78s are ultra rare, and would estimate 10% or so of the engines were installed in convertible so perhaps 114 L78 convertibles were built. There are a few enthusiasts that focus just on 67 L78's and they may have better estimate based on their data.

Verts
 
I bought my car in 1995 and have been interested in the 4K’s for quite awhile. You don’t see many coupes and especially vert cars. I remember seeing one in Hemings around 97 or so. It was ermine white with white top drag car in Canada. Richard from Coast To Coast had a purple one, Sherman’s Bat Car, George’s car, the white one the guy won’t sell. All I can think of, just not many I know of.

67 4k-Richard, I was just speaking with Mike, whom you purchased your car from in 1995. We were just talking about your car..

Vert 4K
 
Steve, tell Mike I said Hi and I hope he and his family are all doing well.
Best regards.

I thought there was a registry. Maybe with CRG or TC. Maybe off topic, but does anyone know about transmissions other than the M21 in 4K cars? I have the PoP with the numbers matching trans in my car and it's a M20. Thought I read somewhere there were a handful of cars without the M21.

'

No help w/ original engine L78 'Verts as OP quest but you guys into these cars should cruise the ads in the Old Newspapers thread if you haven't already as quite a few were '67 Camaro L78 'Verts.
There's others throughout the thread too but I tried trolling L78's specifically w/ a few different search variations and most resulting ads start @ Post 295 on Pg.#30 as link below + more '67 L78 'Verts further down also next pages too.
Any ads look familiar, locations/dates possibles for known cars whether MIA or existing today?:hmmm:
:beers:

None with M20.
7 with M13 (HD 3-speed)

That's a very good estimate in this case.
