Jack, owning that car today would be nice for more reasons than one!
I raced a car very similar for a few runs in about 1970. A '69 Z/28 in F/S. Black with white panels and black and white houndstooth interior. I loved that car and it was in near perfect shape. Went low 12's at York and was owned by a man named Al Lucas.....and we had fun racing together for a short stint. A sold lifter 302 compared to a hyd cammed 350 was not even close.....

In a nutshell, RS is an appearance package (except '67-'68 F41 as Dwight pointed out) and SS is a mechanical package. Since Z-28 includes, or is primarily, a mechanical package, it "trumps" the SS package.
This is an enduro bumper. $85K will buy this '69 Z-28. Incidentally, I have some rare literature and documents streaming in on ebay. I recently read the procedure on the 1971 Mopar "B" body version of this bumper. There is 1/4" of one coating followed by 2 1/2" of the elastomeric coating! Talk about killing the weight distribution! Here is a real '69 RS Z-28. Follow the link for more pictures and a very thorough description. Would love to have this car in my garage! http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eB...t_44453wt_1161 ![]() ![]()

Those who drag raced in Indiana back in the early '70's may remember it as being named Blitzkreig. The original question has been answered, but a couple little known facts. Being a former member of the United States Camaro Club, all 67-69 Z/28's came from the factory with rear bumper guards. A quick way to tell if the Z is original. Also, the front and rear spoilers were options as were the cowl induction hood and console with the gauge cluster. My father's Z came equipped with a flat hood, no spoilers and no console which makes it a rare Z. |

true D-80 rear spoiler cars had different spring bars for the trunk. i believe one was a little thicker to help with the added weight of the spoiler. this is easier to verify after Nov 68 built cars as the D-80 spoiler option was listed on the cowl tag. it was not listed on the earlier 'half tag cars" .
Most 69 Z/28's did not receive the D-80 option. it was not a standard option until after the january 69 build date ( IIRC). most of these cars have been restored with the D-80 option even though it was not factory equipment,. *side note - the ZL2 cowl induction hood was not standard equipment on the Z/28 either. which seem to go hand in hand with most restorations. 20,602 Z-28s were built in 69 of which 40% probably recieved these 2 option together. but now most restored Z's have both options.. shame really.

I believe the rubber ft bumper was called an ENDURA bumper.
Goggle the following for info: Endurabumper.com

Any camaro with THE FACTORY ordered spoiler package will have D80 on the cowl tag. The reason I say this IS because many camaros were ordered without the spoiler package and then the package was available as a DEALER INSTALLED option.

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.
