This camaro is in teardown for restoration, which was purchased for a mere 300 dollars.
Restoration will be very thorough, depending on the rarity of the car.
After some research, it has been found out to be 1 of less than 200 of Luxury Touring-Type with a Rally Sport trim and package from the General Motors; Nan Nuys, Califronia production plant.
The rear differential code reveals a limited slip with a .373 gear.
(Which limited slip came on only 25% of all 1978 model camaros)

Also recently revealed is a factory hatch-type sunroof.                                                                (which is limited to less than 200 built )

Unfortunately,I purchased this one without an engine.
The plan is to swap-out the 400+hp goodwrench mexican crate 350 4 bolt main
out of my 1974 chevy c10, which is a "diamond in the rough" type motor in itself.                         With a cast number of 10066036 , for all you enthusiasts.(I encourage you to research yourself )                                                          The swap will also create a weight difference of 2378lbs.

 

                               This is the car now

Although I plan on staying
with the original rally wheels.

Jason, you're going to be busy, but sounds like a pretty rare car. Will it lose value with a non-matching engine? Are you going to customize?
