68 L78 Camaro bought new in Philadelphia Pa Area
 

Over the winter I bought a bunch of old Atco/Englishtown class winner trophies from the early 60's to 70s.
When I ask the guy who is in his late 30s were he got them .He told me his late Father had won them with his 64 Malibu and some with his 68 L78 Camaro that he bought new .
I ask if he still had the cars but the same story wife ,kids,House sold the cars both were never seen again .
Asked how he knew the car was a L78 and did he have any pictures .He had this picture and the best part the original window sticker ..
He ask if I could help him find the car .Not to buy it just to see it again or know it is still around .Help the current owner fill in the cars history ..The car was bought ordered new Wolfington Chevy on Ridge Ave in Philly .The guy lived in the East Falls area ..You can see the first half and the last Last 2 of the Vin# is 54 . I will not give out the whole vin# ..contact me with your vin I will tell you if it's your car and put you in contact with the past owners Son . These are the only pictures I have .

I thought that too...was that phrase in use during that time? I thought it was an 80s piece of language.

What a beautiful L78... I posted a link over on CRG to help spread the word.

Love the options on this car!!! A bit of comfort added with the defroster, remote mirror and the clock. Like to know the build date or last 6... very cool!! [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/biggthumpup.gif[/img]

&quot;Bite&quot; may refer to slicks or traction? May not say &quot;Me&quot; but something that begins with an M.
