1969 Chevrolet Camaro Z/28

Description

There are many cars advertised as a 1969 Chevrolet Camaro Z/28, but locating a documented factory Z/28 is rare. This car is the real deal. The RPO Z28 was based on a 302.5 cubic inch version of the Chevy small block, essentially a 4" bore 327 block with a 3" stroke crankshaft out of the earlier 283 small block. It was fitted with free-breathing cylinder heads, an aluminum intake manifold breathing through a huge 750 cfm Holley four-barrel carb. Chevy called it 290 horsepower, which was ridiculously pessimistic. In 1969 factory-delivered Z/28s were arriving at dealers' showrooms with 350 or more horsepower coming out of their highly-developed, high rpm 302 V8s.

RPO Z28 also included quick ratio steering, 7" wide 15" wheels with E70 profile tires and a performance suspension. RPO Z28 also required other performance options like power disc brakes. For the truly committed, Chevy also offered a dealer-installed dual four-barrel cross-ram intake manifold that contributed 50 horsepower or more to a prepared Z/28 engine. The cross-ram had more high rpm horsepower that you can really feel when driving. The cross-ram setup is rare and highly prized by collectors today, and this car has it.

Authenticating this car is a certificate from noted Camaro expert, concourse judge and author of two books on Camaro restoration, Jerry MacNeish of Camaro Hi-Performance, who carefully inspected the car and subsequently documented and certified it as a real Z/28 with the correct DZ engine. This certificate and detailed analysis come with the car.
