Re: 69 z-28 camaro ?
From working at a Chevy dealership part time in the late 60's I can say the flat hood was standard and the other hoods were optional at extra cost. The earlier post that the dual carb option was only available across the parts counter is correct. No Z-28 came from the factory with a dual carb setup. They were available from the parts counter and were sometimes sold with the setup in the trunk as they went out the door. Installing the dual carb setup also voided the factory warranty as per a bulletin from GM that came with the setups. One of the mechanics in the shop at the dealership I was at actually bought the setup and installed it at the dealership and would swap it back if he needed warranty work. A GM warranty person would actually show up at the dealership usually every week or so and sign off on warranty work done. He did not really like the muscle cars and did not like to sign off on the warranty work on any of the muscle cars.
Being old now does seem quite so bad when you realize you lived through some nice history with all the muscle cars. We will never see them again in the same style.
