Re: Magazine Test: Seven Chevrolet Supercars!
They got the L35 hp rating correct in the text. B-nut Yellow RS/SS 396 with a Th-400 and 3:07 rear (got one just like it). No tach/guages but it did have power windows, tilt wheel, headrests, and disc brakes ("and more"). I laughed at the comparison of the 396 Camaro to the Oldsmobile Turnpike Cruiser. 15-second 1/4 too. Those D70s look like Cheerios.

Re: Magazine Test: Seven Chevrolet Supercars!
Bruce, neat write-up on the 67' cars. I've been searching in vain for a 1971 copy of CAR LIFE, which supposedly, has a road test article featuring my 71' LS6 press car. Do you know of any 71' issues that are available?

Re: Magazine Test: Seven Chevrolet Supercars!
That rear spolier looks like the flat backed one on the BY 67 Z... the prototype car.

Bill, did you see the rear spoiler?  [/ QUOTE ] Not on the L35 car I didn't!!!  Firstgen is right, the prototype Z/28 had that one-off flat-backed spoiler. Larry Shinoda hadn't perfected the design yet. I'm assuming Shinoda designed the first-gen spoilers? Now there's a trivia question!
