My '69 Z/28 Camaro

[bubba57-chevy]

It is the start of the toy season here in southeast Texas. Some friends and I have a Good Friday tradition where we meet somewhere for lunch and it usually ends up lasting the rest of the day. This is the first Good Friday in a few years that has had some great weather. I decided to take the Z out for a spin, freshly detailed of course.

Beautiful, just beautiful. Looking at those back tires you don't even think about taking that baby out in the wet, do you?!?!? Heh, I wouldn't either.

Re: My '69 Z/28 Camaro

Under the hood is a .040 over 400 small block, aluminum heads, solid lifter cam, gear drive, and a carter carb. The combo dyno'd at 510 hp / 455 lb-ft. It has a 4.11 posi rear. It is a ton of fun, my mid-life crisis car.

Is it an orginal Z/28? My uncle had a 68 with the orginal 302 with the cross ram dual quad intake and headers. That thing reved to the moon!!!

Nice looking car!!! The 69' Camaro's are my alltime favorite car!!

Re: My '69 Z/28 Camaro

Thanks guys. No, it is not a numbers matching original Z/28. The rear tires are Mickey Thompson ET Street Radials, slicks with a few grooves in them to pass DOT. I love 'em, you can sink you fingernails into the tread and they do bite!
