Went to a show this evening and saw this rare 69 Z28 Camero. Factory cross ram intake with dual quads, 24,000 miles, original owner.
No Z-28 was ever factory-built with a cross-ram intake manifold... It was sold as an over the counter race package... Still a very cool Camaro...
I stand corrected in my description. Call it genuine as opposed to aftermarket. Rare either way.
that' all I got :vipermanhiding:
Pretty cool for a " Chevy" :D
Yea it's rare they probably only made 15,000 of them :rofl:

Yeah, I heard cross Ram 302's were sold as OEM off the lot. :dunno:
If I was forced to own a Chevy . . It would have to be a 67-69 Camero . . I actually did have one in my younger days as a daily driver . . lol

My understanding (and I worked in a Chev dealership from 71-78) was that you could order the 2-4's from the factory, but they came in boxes in the trunk and were a dealer installed option. Food for the mill. :thinking:
PS, the 69 Camaro was the highest production Camaro built as there was a strike that affected production of the 70's, so they just kept on cranking out the 69's- hence the 70 1/2 Camaro. That's a good thing as I think they're the best looking Camaros ever built and the 302 and 396 cars went like bats out of Hell, like 'em or not. I do.

IMO 69 was absolutely the best looking Camaro....
I prefer the 70.5 Z28, RS myself. Along with the 370HP LT1 that it came with. They look almost as good as the 67 Cuda they copied the profile from.
Who made more 67-69's, camaro or mustang?
I heard someone say there were more Mustangs made in 67 vs all cudas (or challengers or both) made from 70-74. Not sure if its true??? I have a horrible memory so maybe I am totally worng.
I like most muscle cars, but theres just something about the e-body that :inlove:
:looney: 1967 Ford Mustang model year output = 472,121
Wow. I had no idea. No wonder we get so many thumbs up.
Okay, so how many ebodies are still alive and being driven?
6bblgt, lets see that stat. :wave:
Ill guess 38,000 still alive.
Jim is correct back in the day you could buy them at the parts counter but with those cars they would actually come boxed up and in the trunk for the purchaser to install. Funny thing is that when the new owner asked the dealer to install it for them many wouldn't because they were difficult to set up. To get out of doing it and not look stupid the dealer would say they aren't street legal so we can't install it. The reason many ended up in the trash was because the new 19 year old owner would try to install it not knowing what they were doing and trashed it for the 4 barrel because they couldn't make it work.
Wasn't that engine known as the 302 DZ? :bigmoney:
Yes the DZ 302 was the hot engine. Very expensive if you locate one. They stopped making it in 1970 in favor of the LT1 350 another great engine.
I bought a 68 Camaro out of a car show....done. Spent another 17 grand on modern upfits. Nice but kinda like a belly button, every one has one. I like all 67-68-69 Camaro's equally. Some car buffs don't like the 67's wing windows or pinto front lights, some consider the 68 a repeat, some don't like the square-ish fender wells on the 69. There is a lot to like about all three years. GM's answer to the M'tang.
