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! I later had a 1967 and a 1969 man o man.

Hi Dana, this is where it gets interesting. I have three 1969 camaros. camaro #1 is a X33D80 Z/28 09D #2 is a X77D80 Z/28 02C and #3 no X number with narrow spoiler (68)flat hood Z/28 10C. All with factory spoilers-first 2 are norwood cars ----so I give Up !

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?

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 ............

Does the 02C car say D80 on the cowl tag? If it does I stand corrected, and not the first time! Also, does it have the short spoiler ?

I bought my Z in Sept. '72 from the original owner. It was a flat hood, Endura bumpered, spoilered car,long spoiler , rear bumper guards too. The color of the car was Burnished Brown with the white stripe kit,, a somewhat rare combo, I've only seen a few that color. It was a non RS car with the silver grille instead of black. The first thing I did was buy some Cragar SS wheels and a set of Goodyear Polyglass GTs for it,,it looked great.
We didn't care about originality or restorations back then,,,first thing I sold was the intake to put a new Torker on it and everything snowballed from there. I eventually sold the shortblock to a buddy with a hydroplane in the 5 litre class as he needed a 302, ouch!
I talk about the car in past tense as it was stolen in January of '75,,,cops found it 8 months later, not much left of it. If I knew then what I know now I would've bought it back from the Ins.company and rebuilt it. 35 years later and I still miss it,,I've never replaced it either,,,,,it sure was alot of fun and I deffinately learned how to replace clutches in a hurry.

Reading through the post I have some questions of my own, I have a barn find, yes I have pictures of the barn i found it in, it appears to be a 68 Z, as everyone knows the 68 was the only year that the cowl tag does not clearly state that it could be a Z, anyway previous post states that ALL Z's had front and rear bumper guards, well mine does not, i have yet to start resto on this car because i do not know the best way to restore it and not lose the value of it being a true Z. it has all the add on's that a Z should have, 12 bolt rear, tag in trunk warning of a posi,tic-tac clock, 4 speed, etc... any help, input on direction would help

My 68 Z-28 did NOT have bumper guards either and I bought it brand new.
