1969 Chevrolet Camaro
View Description
1969 was a year like no other for muscle cars coming out of Detroit. With engines getting bigger and horsepower numbers growing to ridiculous amounts the last thing really on anyone's mind was handling. This is where the Z/28 was totally different. The Camaro was really never intended to be a true muscle car, after all Chevy had the Chevelle for that. The Camaro was Chevrolet's entry into the pony car war that Ford had cornered with its Mustang, which was their weapon of choice for the Trans-Am series. The Z/28 came in and totally destroyed the competition in 1969 with Team Penske winning half the total races, and placing 2nd place only twice. This particular Camaro is a true Z/28 backed up by the X33 designation on the cowl tag. This 1969 Chevrolet Camaro Z/28 is powered by its rebuilt 355 CID V8 engine, backed by a Muncie M20 4-speed manual transmission, and running to a 12 Bolt rear end. The original 302 has been replaced by a rebuilt 355 CID V8 but the original Muncie M20 is still in the car and was professionally rebuilt last year. This Z/28 is sporting an older repaint back to its original Burgundy...
