Re: approx Value? 1970 Z28 COPO 9796
Chris,
Nice car. Another 9796 was just picked up quietly by another SYC member. The most refined of the '70 design by far and the spoilers really worked well to keep the car planted at high speed. What is the build date on your car? Phil

06-B is a good date, and fits the production date time period nicely.
If you can post up some pictures of your car right here! Phil

Re: approx Value? 1970 Z28 COPO 9796
Gotta plead ignorance here, being a Chevelle guy. What did this COPO package consist of?

1970 CAMARO COPO 9796
As the 1969 ZL-1 option was pushed through as a COPO to get around the approval laden RPO system, in order to dominate Drag racing, the Special Race spoiler package for the 1970 Camaro was designed to allow Chevrolet to continue to dominate the SCCA Trans-AM race series. Vince Piggins was involved from the start. After testing of the 1970 Camaro SCCA race cars with the standard issue “short” RPO D-80 spoiler tests showed significant Lift at the rear of the Camaro at speeds in excess of 120MPH. Piggins got permission to "Borrow" the Firebird center section and had AO-Smith Corp tool up the individualized end caps. The result was significant. With the short spoiler there was 112 pounds of lift. With the new COPO 9796 High spoiler at the rear there was 168 pounds of down force-a critical 280 pound difference in a Camaro equipped for Trans-AM- A significant improvement for the Camaro in the areas of stability and cornering traction at speed. In order to comply with SCCA Race rules a limited number of these cars were built in late April 1970, and starting in June - also included the front spoiler as part of this package.
