Have seen it in person. real nice complete car. Not sure who is luckier, Benny for getting the car or the car getting Benny. The Professor has a bunch of real nice cars (fast ones too) but this one is tops on the list in my opinion. Great score by the Lehighton Flash.

Great Car! Love seeing the well kept originals. As for the tin foil, we did that in the 60's to keep the fuel lines cool and anything else protected from the heat, really never new if it worked but many racers did it.

Benny's COPO and this new ride has the blue interior which is all original down to the dash pads that usually have issues. Silver/blue and white/blue. Cool doings for those 2 cars. Great combo's. Like the degree tape on the balancer too.

Would be great to see it and the orig. owner at MCACN. He deserves recognition. Would also love to see detail pics of whatever gloss is on the tailpanel.

Default BBBenny's Survivor 1969 L78 Camaro!

BBBenny: Congratulations on your purchase. I LOVE the color combo as I am an OO of a '83 Monte Carlo SS, White with blackout trim and accents, with a Blue and White interior. A real knockout survivor you have there, especially from the OO and kept in awesome condition. On the outside it bears a striking resemblance to one raced in Super Stock and Pro Stock by a certain racer from Malvern, PA!

Congrats Bbbenny! I echo the previous post; not sure who is luckier the car car or the new owner.

Would absolutely love to have you join us with this beauty at MCACN...you are overdue!
