Can you settle an argument?
 

Did anyone here ever buy a new 1969 rs ss z28 Camaro off the showroom floor? Was there such a thing? Was there a 69 ss z28? Was there ever a 1969 rs z28 for real?

I had a new 1969 Z-28... I have nothing to back it up, but what I thought.. I didn't know you could cross RS and SS with Z-28. I had a friend that had an RS-SS...

An RS/Z28 was available. An RS/SS was available. An SS/Z28 was not. An RS/SS/Z28 was not.

Chucks right an RS/Z28 you could buy A SS/Z28 or SS/RS/Z28 was never built. An SS/RS Was also built.

The R/S option could be on S/S or Z/28. Any camaro that had hideaway headlights had R/S option is what I was always told,taillights were also different ,had backup lights in panel below bumper.I think 67 Z/28 could be exception though.

Euro bumpers? (plastic and painted to match?) Fold down rear seat?

All SS camaros from 67 through 69 had either a 350 or 396 for power. All Z-28s of the same years had a 302 engine, no exceptions.The Super Sport option indicated the installment of one of these engines along with a 12 bolt rear among other specific equipment.
All Z-28s cam with the 302, 4 speed Muncie and 12 bolt, no AC and had 15 inch wheels and front disc brakes among other special equipment.
The RS or Rally Sport option was an appearance package that could be had on any first generation camaros from a base model 6 cyl to a COPO 427, SS, or Z-28.
Never was an SS-Z28.
Hope this helps!

RS package in '67 & '68 included the hideaway headlights, wheel well moldings, special badging, chrome drip rail molding, special taillights, backup lights in the valence panel, stainless door trim (across the top of the door and a lower stainless rocker panel on '67 models), heavy duty cooling on 6 cylinder and 327 2-bbl engines, and F41 heavy duty suspension (included the 12 bolt rear end except for 6-cylinder models) if not already equipped. Combining the RS package with the SS package or the Z28 package meant the suspension components of the SS package or the Z28 package overrode the RS pieces and the RS badging was not installed, except that some '67 Z28s that came through with an RS gascap. In '69, the suspension and cooling system components were removed from the RS package so it became an appearance package only.
