1967 Camaro Coupe with RPO Z28BA or 1967 RS Camaro Coupe with RPO Z28BA. With Air Plenum: RPO Z28BB. With Headers: RPO Z28BC. With Air Plenum and Headers: RPO Z28BD.

In 1967 Chevrolet made two body style Camaros and 4 models: Plain, RS, SS and RS/SS. There are no emblems on a 1967 and partial 1968 saying Z/28. Just the stripes. You know all this Diego.

As you said, the moniker didn't appear until they changed the front fender emblems from "302" to "Z/28" and added the Z/28 emblem to the rear panel in 1968 published this ad. That's when it became an additional model: Z/28, which joined the other 4 models.



It's the need/desire by many (especially here) to add monikers to performance cars. It's a 1967 L88 Corvette as opposed to a 1967 Corvette with RPO L88. Or a Tri-Power GTO. Or . . . A COPO Camaro/Chevelle. Option/option packages that weren't visible/emblemed (like 1969 - 1972 W30 442s).
