Default Re: The Rarest First Gen Camaros

I would draw the line on rarity of production numbers of a car to motor/drivetrains with convertibles as more rare than coupes. Brake packages should get some recognition as well, such as JL8 cars and Big Brake Vettes. But not nearly as much as the motor option, or fact of it being a Convertible as in the case of the 68 Z28 Convertible being rare. I do know of another similarly rare convertible being a 69 Camaro RS/SS L89 Convertible. Although more than one were built (a very small handful said to be around 11??), I only know of one that survives with documentation. [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img]

The 69 Z28 Camaros with the experimental heads were made up cars by private owners. GM never built the cars. The heads came from Smoky Yunick who had tested these semi-hemi small block heads for GM, but were never installed by GM on a factory car. Charley said it best, when he described a 69 Z28 Camaro as a expensive engine stand for a neat motor that had experimental heads. Still neat cars in any event.
