This is the car that got me back into the car hobby after 10 years of being away from the hobby. This car has a great story.In 1996 I heard about this car from another car guy at a show and I decided to track it down.My main reason was that most Camaro convertibles were small blocks or 6 cylinders and this car is an L78 396 Big Block with 375 horsepower! My only tip to find this car was that the owner was a police officer and I was given his name and the name of the city he worked at as a police officer. After some detective work I tracked him down and found out the car had been in his family since new. After a lot of haggling I bought the car which was partly disassembled and in horrible condition and did not run. We nicknamed him “Rusty “ because he was a bucket of rust. I hired a well known Camaro restoration Shop “Jen Jacs “ to do a body off restoration on the car . It took 1 year to do the resto back to 100% original condition. After some tweaking the car turned out fantastic and the car rides beautifully. It has a personalized tag that says what the car is SSRSL78.
