Amazing car Mark. Nice to see it nesting here in Canada. Maybe you should start a thread on L78s in Canada.

Thanks Ken! The one I am buying is the other red/black one that I posted about. I did get a PM from another site member saying that the owner of the car in this thread (red/red L78) would be interested in selling. I let him know that I would be interested and would gladly pay a finder's fee, but I haven't heard anything back from him.
Still not a completely done deal on the red/black car, but it appears to be happening. I've bought a few parts for it and Paul (Fastco) and I have spoken about him doing some of the mechanical work for me when the time comes. For years the 67 L78's didn't get a lot of attention, but they are finally seeing that now. For sure will start a thread on L78's when it shows up. I'd love to buy both of these red cars

All of the L78's are underappreciated in my opinion.
However given the rarity and the ability to positively identify the 67's, they really are undervalued.

Is there a '67 L78 registry? I only ask because a friend of mine from way back in the '80s had a red/black/black vinyl top L78/RS. He and his dad sold it and one of my old '69 SS 350 in the late '80s or early '90s. Supposedly had them on an open trailer headed to Atlanta when someone stopped them and bought them on the spot. I always wondered where those cars ended up.

Phil, Rare4K, keeps track of the 67 L78’s pretty closely.

The '67's were the last designs that held on to the simpler time with no/minimal emissions crap! So, you did well! If you have any questions about the engine, feel free to contact me as I'm building a mostly numbers correct 1967 L78 and I've learned a lot, despite having owned an original new '67 L78 Chevelle back in the day....I had no idea that thing would turn out to be so extremely rare! But, I'm not alone in that department I'm sure. Enjoy it!!! |

And If I am not mistaken there are 10 of the 16 in the Corvette L89 database which has been compiled and should have an online presence soon.
