Been to Garlits Museum twice... waaaayy back. On one of the visits he was tinkering on a fuel car and fired it up outside the shop !!! It was like a private show for about half a dozen guests. Fantastic memory !!! somewhere around 91-92. The year Kenny ran 300 at Gainesville (also witnessed that). I remember how unseasonably COLD it was in Florida that trip.

Here are some more pictures of Lot A18, the 69 Camaro SS with the L78 and a 4 speed. This is a nice looking car. There's no mention in the writeup if it is documented as an original L78. This car was also featured in the Art of The Musclecar.

Here are some pictures of Lot A24 the 67 Z/28. I don't have a picture of the trim tag on this one, but I'm pretty sure it had a 4L tag.

Here are some pictures of Lots A30 and A33. Both of these Chevelles have L78's in them, but there is no mention of them being documented as original L78 cars. I don't know anything about them.

Here are some pictures of Lot A34, the "L89" 68 Chevelle SS. I don't have any good pictures of the car itself. It was featured in the August '08 issue of Musclecar Review and it was also in the Art of The Musclecar. The VIN is 138378B140051 and it was sold new at DeBonis Chevrolet in Havre Grace MD. I have EG as the engine code for the L78 in '68. I don't know what the engine code for an L89 in a '68 Chevelle would be, but I would think it would be different than the code for an L78. I don't know that there are any real documented L89 Chevelles built in '68.

Here are some pictures of Lot A39 the 65 Malibu SS Z-16. According to the writeup this is car #36 in the Z-16 Registry. I thought this was the Hoss Cartwright car, but it doesn't mention that in the writeup and I thought that car was a different number in the registry. Never the less this is a real Z-16 according to the writeup.

Here are some pictures of Lot B21 the 69 "ZL-1" Corvette. I'm not a Corvette expert, but I thought there were only two factory built ZL-1 Corvettes in '69. The Monaco Orange one that was at MCACN in '19 the the Daytona Yellow one that Roger J. owns. Maybe there were more than two built?

Here are some pictures of Lot B63 the 70 Nova with an L78. This car was featured in the December '07 issue of Musclecar Review. To my knowledge the L78 and L34 were only available with the SS option. You couldn't get them in a plain jane Nova. I asked Doug Marion about that after I saw this car featured in the magazine and that was his understanding as well. This car looked to have all the correct big block stuff so it could be an original SS car that was restored without the SS trim to make it look like more of a sleeper. They were also trying to say that it was a COPO car in the magazine feature, but it has an M21 and a 4.11 rear so that doesn't fit either. It is quite the sleeper. I will be interested to see what these cars sell for. There were some nice cars I saw that last time I was there that I don't see in this auction so he is keeping some. When I was there he had a bunch of Corvettes that I don't see in the auction. I think he had one of every year from '54 to the mid '70's.
