Getting closer on verifying 70 L78 M40 Camaro

[CamarosRus]

I have been one of the most vocal individuals on this L-78/M-38(T-400)subject....because I am (too) outspoken and NHRA via Brian (bkh) had contacted me and asked me what I knew (Zero) on the subject and if I would research it.....Anyway I certainly dont want to be made the "bad" guy on this situation so not sure what position to assume currently. Given that absolutely no one else in all my previous postings on several web sites could ever produce any evidence or even remember such an optioned Camaro.....I am not inclined to just believe a "build sheet" at face value.....There is probably as much about 70 Camaro judging that I dont know as what I do......but I would certainly be interested in having the subject car certified as "real" by several impartial judges.....I would think that the T-400 trans might have a date of production on it to match the car build, and might even have the VIN.....but given what Charley reports about the owner it doesnt seem likely that he wants (or needs) to prove anything to anybody.....On the money subject, as a sign of my sincerity in getting to the bottom of the truth, I would be willing to "contribute" say $100 to a research fund to help influence the owners co-operation....if this car was converted from 4 speed to T-400 surely there must be SOMEWAY of seeing a trail of conversion work....anyway in closing I suspect this deal will fade off into the sunset once again for another year or so....respectfully Chuck Sharin
