1969 L78 - M22 Pace Car All Numbers Matching
The 1 of 3 is for Pace Car convertibles with a 396/375hp engine AND an M22 transmission (rock crusher) from the factory. There were more 396/375hp Pace Cars made, but only a few of them had the rock crusher combo.
396/375hp with rock crusher is very rare in 1969 Camaro convertibles. GM official documentation says 20 total made in 1969. Z11 Pace cars (like this one) are Camaro convertibles. So, 3 of the 20 1969 Camaro convertibles made with 396/375hp with rock crushers were Pace cars.
Lots of people say that they have 396/375hp Pace cars, but nearly all don’t have paperwork(or certification). They are made up cars. The Pace Car Registry (which this car is in) only has 3 CERTIFIED 396/375hp with rock crushers.
