Incorrect. On the 1969 Camaros the D80 spoiler option did not appear on the cowl tag until March- April cars. My 02D (4th week of Feb.) Camaro does not have it, but was built with that option.

I had a 69 RS/Z-28 back in the late 70's to the mid 80's . I was able to talk to the original owner. I tracked him down from the gas charge receipts stuffed way under the rear carpet & under the seats. My car had the X-33 code stamped on the cowl tag. As stated in a prior post, my car did not come with a cowl hood. It did have the Z-28 rear bumper guards & RS features. I wish I still had that car.

Jack, you can afford it, go get it, you won't regret it. I wish i could find the 68 Z28 i bought new, drove it 8 miles to my shop and made it a Drag Car! Later sold it to an Airman up your way!

Woody - You're right -- I wouldn't regret it but it needs a full restoration and I don't drive the ones I have enough so why take on another to sit around even if I ever finish it ............We are only temporary custodians of these cars -- hope mine go to someone who will love and care for them as I have ............

Ok yes the bumperettes were suppose to come with the rsZ28 but you could order them removed from the factory. I spent 8yrs restoring my 69Z28 which I bought from the estate of the original owner in their barn. Mine was ordered with factory deleted bumper guards and rear spoiler(front spoiler was left on) no radio but upgraded interior(he was planning on racing it but blew the engine). Divorce forced the sale to a gentleman who never drives it and has built a shrine to it. These car were met to be driven hard.lol Claude

Mine still has an under dash 8-track tape player, about a big as a mircowave, even has a keyed lock so no one could steal it. almost looks factory installed but again who knows.

On the subject of Z-28's...if a smaller diameter main journal is better for less frictional loss and therefore performance, why did Chevrolet increase the size in 1968? And it seems the "large journal" is a selling point (same with the rod journals). Is the "small journal" SBC that weak?
