Down to 2 Camaros now

[JL8Jeff]

the L78 has been sold and is on it's way to Texas! Time to look for a replacement. :nod:

[BonzoHansen]

How about a 69 JL8 car? That would be a good replacement.

[LTb1ow]

5th gen?

[BonzoHansen]

5th gen?

You don't know Jeff too well. Ask him again in 5 years.

x3.... i bet wat u sold that car for would help make sum progress!

[JL8Jeff]

That was the plan, sell the 70 and use the money to finish the 69. I'll probably look for something as a side project in another early 2nd gen.

[BonzoHansen]

Arrrghhh. I'm gonna take your beer away.

[BigAls87Z28]

I know a guy with a pretty clean 72 Camaro RS.....

[sweetbmxrider]

:lol:

[JL8Jeff]

Arrrghhh. I'm gonna take your beer away.

The keg is empty, that's another problem that might be solved too. :lol:

[BigAls87Z28]

When you come pick up the 72, ill give you all the beer thats at the house...its a lot...at no extra charge!

[Teds89IROC]

sad day, I loved that car. Ah well, get that 69 done!

[Tru2Chevy]

Sorry to see if go Jeff, but I figured it wouldn't hang around too long. Update your sig....

From Canada, to here, to Texas. A little further south and it can be a tri-lingual car! :)

[PolarBear]

Wow Jeff. Did you get what you wanted for it? I guess ill have to hold th early second gen torch for our group in Mercer county now

[WildBillyT]

Congrats Jeff, I know you've been trying to sell it for a while.

[JL8Jeff]

Well, I never put any real effort into selling it because I enjoyed driving it so much. I got my bottom line. I think a lot of people still don't know what these cars are worth and the economic collapse hurt even more. He seems really happy with the car and he plans on rebuilding the motor back to stock L78 specs and driving it. He has his own machine/engine business so that won't cost him much of anything other than the square port heads.

[PolarBear]

I saw a set of matching date coded square port heads on craigs list today. Said for 69/70 wondered if you needed them for the JL8 but I don't remember what size engine it has

[Mike]

isnt it a 302?

[WildBillyT]

isnt it a 302?

The 70 was an L78, the '69 is the 302...

[JL8Jeff]

The L78 rectangular (sorry, I called them square port) port heads for 1970 were a specific casting # and tough to find the right dates for the engine that was in my car. I have heads for the 302 in the 69. I saw those heads on Craigslist and almost bought them. I think you're referring the factory replacement heads the guy advertised.

[69RSZ]

Hi Jeff,did someone see it at the carshow for sale? Congrats and hope to see the 69 done soon.Ron.

[PolarBear]

I think you're referring the factory replacement heads the guy advertised.

Yeah probably, he wanted like 1900 or something for them. Are those the correct heads for the 70? Maybe not the correct date but... just wondering

[JL8Jeff]

Hi Jeff,did someone see it at the carshow for sale? Congrats and hope to see the 69 done soon.Ron.

No, it was somebody who has been in contact with me for about 2-3 months.

[69RSZ]

Jeff are you going to the GM nats at carlisle? I will be there.

I'm not sure at this point.
