Just something that is sometimes forgotten,all 2nd gen Camaros that were fitted with the SS package had power brakes.There was no way around it from what I hear.If you wanted a bigblock,4speed and 12 bolt rear and nothing else they still made you get the brakes.Since a camaro could be ordered with RS/SS and Z/28,it reasons to say that an SS/ Z/28 could exist.

Are you saying that is was possible to order the SS and Z/28 options on the same car? This was not possible. Also, how is that related to this thread.

70 Z was posting about having a car with odd options and mentioned manual steering and power brakes.This would have been possible with a car that was ordered for maximum performance and the owner checked off the SS option box figuring it would give him additional equipment above what the Z offered.Since SS camamros in 1970 were only available with power brakes,even a stripped down version destined for use as a race car would still be forced to have them from the factory.
As for SS and Z/28.I owned a 1970 RS/SS Z28.It had all 3 options I dont think the SS acounted for much on the package since All Z's had LT1's,and 12 bolt rears,and better suspention then an SS.The package might have added a bigger radiator or some other option the Z didnt have,as well as some small visual differance.Mine was a factory blue with white stripes 4 speed on black interior car with 3.31 gears.I got it as a roller/ex street race car,and aded a mild 454 and super T10 to the original 33,000 mile mint body.It did have all 3 performance packages,and was factory delivered with manual steering and power brakes.I was just adding some interesting trivia about how his car was optioned the way it was.

After re-reading my post I forgot the mention that it had a tilt wheel.It was a bear to drive but I was young and thought it was cool to man handle it. [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/[/img]

It was impossible to combine the SS and Z28 options, they conflicted since both were suspension and engine packages.

You could have a RS/Z28 (or a RS/SS), but not a SS/Z28.
Power brakes were mandatory with either option, as was the heavy duty suspension. among other things. Ordering either a Z28 or a SS put some nice options on the car automatically.

A triple optioned 70 Camaro (R/S, SS, Z28)? Now that is a new one!
