Re: 69 Camaro L78 Z11
You IMHO the L78 Z11 might be the ultimate RPO Camaro that was available in 69. Coolest option, RS. Coolest colors, white with HO stripes and orange houndstooth. Coolest engine, L78! All that in a convertible.

Re: 69 Camaro L78 Z11
Although the ZL-1 and COPO cars are cool, I think the best option available in the Camaro has to be the droptop. And the Z11 Option with the L78 4-spd has got to be the best all around package ever available in a Camaro as far as the general public goes. This is my unbiased opinion, and has nothing to do with the fact that I own one"of the seven"(haha) L-78 Z-11's.
 I realize we dont know how many were made, but how how many are actually known at this point? And how many have the M-22 like mine?

Re: 69 Camaro L78 Z11
Anyone care to speculate on the number of L78 Z11's originally produced. I've head 30-40 but that may be as erroneous as the "1 of 7" statement.

Re: 69 Camaro L78 Z11

Re: 69 Camaro L78 Z11
Let's face it, with this car that's for sale and Joe's car and my car, we account for almost half of the known L-78/ Z-11's???
I doubt it....There are probably a few more owned by members right here also.....and I'm sure others here know of other cars out there....

Re: 69 Camaro L78 Z11
Obviously there is no etch in stone number out there and not even a consensus for the number of L78 Pace Cars built. But when you consider the number of 69 Yenko Camaros built, around 200+- and what most were purchased for, to drive hard or race and then consider the number you still see in collections and on the market. Compare that number to the number of L78 Pace Cars you see in collections and on the market and factor in that most were probably not purchased as cars to be driven hard and raced so a larger percentage may have survived I'd say the logical conclusion would be that the number is very very low. Much lower than the number of 69 Yenko Camaros built. I'm all ways looking for L78 Pace Cars for sale and they seam to be far and few in comparison to the number of Yenkos I see. JMO.
