1969 Chevrolet Camaro Z28: There are some Camaros that stand out above the rest, and the ’69 Z28 is one of them. The last year of the first-generation cars, this Z28 received special one-year-only styling that is a more aggressive take on the same basic concept that made the original such a success—notably, the Camaro wears sharper-creased lines and a deeply inset front grille. The RS option pack gives the Camaro rally stripes and the hidden headlights, while the Z28 performance package means the Camaro comes standard with a 302 cubic inch solid-lifter V8 fed with cool air from the cowl induction hood, a potent powerplant that makes the Z28 a threat on the strip. The Z28’s F41 suspension is stiffer and also upgrades the rear tires to seven inches, while four-wheel disc brakes—a first on the Camaro—help haul the pony car down from speed. These features helped the Z28 take Chevrolet to victory in the Trans Am series twice, in 1968 and 1969, and also make this special and rare Camaro a boon for collectors and muscle car lovers of all stripes.
