The 1969 Chevrolet Z28 Camaro remains one of Americas most desirable Muscle Cars of all. With just $458 to the base price of $2,726 of a Camaro coupe, the Z28 included twin rally stripes, quicker steering and the F41 handling suspension with E70x15 raised-letter tires on seven-inch wide rims.
With a solid-lifter 302 V-8 and four-barrel carburetor the ’69 Z28 wasn’t the fastest but definitely packed plenty of power for most performance seekers. Another option unique to the ‘69 Z28 was the cowl-induction hood with a valve that opened to draw in cool air from the base of the windshield. The Hurst-shifted close-ratio four-speed was standard.
1969 Chevrolet Camaro Z28 Specifications included; 3765 lb. Weight, priced at $5207.00, 290hp; and 0-60 mph in 7.4 seconds. 3765 lb. Weight, priced at $5207.00, 290hp; and 0-60 mph in 7.4 seconds. |

Chevrolet Camaro ZL-1
A Muscle Car Legend of all time.
In 1969, Sixty-nine ZL-1 Camaros were built. At a time when performance was on the decline, due to standard regulations, Chevrolet found a loop hole with the ban and created the ultimate Camaro, the ZL-1. The new ZL-1 Camaro included a 430hp all-aluminum 427, developed for Can Am racing, and a price tag of over $7,000. The ZL-1 could run the quarter mile in 11.68 seconds at more than 120 mph. The aluminum 427 engine was almost equivalent to the L88 Corvette engine, with the exception of the ZL-1 being all aluminum and alleviating about 160 pounds. The motor was hand built, thus adding up to the price tag of $4,160 for the motor alone. All ZL-1 Camaro's came with cowl induction hoods, heavy duty suspension, 12 bolt rear ends with 4.10 gears, and a Muncie M-22 4-speed or TurboHydramatic 400 automatic. |
