I bought a standard white stripper from the original owner way back in 1975

white standard interior, 3 speed, no radio but rear window defogger and a console. dog dish wheels

he wanted the highest hp convertible for the least amount of $$$$

he told me the salesman felt sorry for him and "gave him" those two options ... white top, black SS stripes

I can't remember if it had PS or not

sold it to a valet that worked at The Fox and Hounds in Bloomfield Hills and the 1st thing he did was hack up the door panels and add some stupid radio. I think I got $3200 for it

My M-22 no console manual top pacer.

I got a email from a member here and he has restored theese cars and many Camaros. He said about 3 years ago he looked at a white, black top and black stripe with a original POP sold new out of Wisconsin.

There is a pace car (not Indy) in Sweden. And a collector I know told me about a L89 also.

Re: How many 1969 camaro L78 convertible known
 

I had a 69 Pace Car up in Rantoul, Il -- it came out of Wisconsin. Body was pretty bad and engine was even worse. Put quarters and rear panel on it -- replaced the 350 with a 396 I had under the bench. Painted it with acrylic enamel, installed a new top and had the lettering painted on the doors by a local sign painter. Sold it to a lawyer in Urbana -- I think his kid was driving it. Lost track of it later. TAZ [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/dunno.gif[/img]

Re: How many 1969 camaro L78 convertible known
 

I had one that's not on that list, in the early 80,s dave tinnell restored a ZL1 for carl dwiggens and the sub frame wasn't exceptable for dave to use. carl sent dave a garnet l78 x66 that had rusty floors and trunk was weak. dave pulled the eng and trans out and sent it back to carl and changed out the sub frames . I ended up with the roller. it had the correct fuel line but I never saw the engine and trans. I sold it to a friend whom still owns it. been trying to buy it back for years.

Re: How many 1969 camaro L78 convertible known
 

Is this one on the list?

Re: How many 1969 camaro L78 convertible known
 

With a repro trim tag and questionable paperwork I wouldn't put this one on the list.

Re: How many 1969 camaro L78 convertible known
 

Some one did a lot of work on this one , but didnt do there homework. Trim tag says Ivory hounds tooth but the only convertibles that had houndstooth was the pace car.

Re: How many 1969 camaro L78 convertible known
 

Does VOLO have a reputation/history of &quot;finding&quot; original docs for many
of their &quot;original&quot; cars ????

Re: How many 1969 camaro L78 convertible known
 

Fake paperwork equals fake car. One of the owners of Volo knowingly tried to sell me a fake LS6 convert years ago.

You should have paid for it with fake money. They'd have no standing if they tried to sue you - you were simply making a &quot;like kind exchange.&quot; [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/naughty.gif[/img]

Re: How many 1969 camaro L78 convertible known
 

Kevin Suydam's RS/SS L89

If I remember right, he told me he paid around $40,000 for that car back in the early 90's

Not sure why that car was even brought up. It was exposed pretty well in the earlier post you started. Fake tag etc etc

Caution fan sticker, NO convertible cross pan, quite the project, ? 4 leaf rear springs ?

Re: How many 1969 camaro L78 convertible known
 

I believe John Ohler had a white 4 speed Convertible a while back and John Hill recently sold his Lemans blue one at BJ. There was a local Daytona Yellow one, but no docs.
