Info?? 69 Silver Z/28

----Either there are two different cars pictured or someone replaced the front pipes off the exhaust manifolds. Weird, right? As well, overspray on the underbody not done factory style overspray. A chunk of money for a car, that while very nice isn't done the way you would do it, Ken........Bill S

Thank you for your input. Agree at that price it has to be the very best.

Never seen a sticker on the rear axle before?

I hadn't ever seen that prior either, but according to the knowledgeable owner, who is also a member here, it was there, so it was put back.

This is a high quality and well done Z28. We sold it for the member / owner a few years ago and if I recall it did well at MCACN judging.

Hello Bill,

I always enjoy this site because of one main reason, and that is we all seem to look after one another's interests, day in and day out. I am not too sure what happened to my interests.

The 1969 Camaro RS Z/28 you are referring to in your statement is not really summed up accurately. You wrote......"Either there are two different cars pictured or someone replaced the front pipes off the exhaust manifolds. Weird, right?

The car "in question" was taken to the Muscle Car and Corvette Nationals in 2013. And there it obtained the Concours Gold Certificate, scoring 989 points, which translate into "the vehicle was found to be between 95 - 100% of its original factory condition". Having said that, if you feel compelled to question the accuracy of this Z/28 and ultimately call out and question the respected and extremely knowledgeable judging team that offers this service at MCACN, feel free to do so.

Hello MosportGreen66,

This Z/28 was built with a standard black interior (711) which calls for a standard RS steering wheel, colour coded to the interior with no wood-grain shroud. This Camaro was coded only for the RPO Z22 option (Rally Sport Package), as per the GM of Canada documentation. If the car was to have a wood grain shroud, my build sheet would have either RPO Z23 or RPO Z87 option codes.

Below is the information supplied by the wonderful folks at CRG.

"Standard interior cars received a color matched pebble-grained facing on the shroud while RPO Z23 special interior and RPO Z87 custom interior cars had a wood-grained accent that covered the pebble graining. A center "Bow-Tie" emblem was included with base, COPO, and Z28 models, while an "RS" emblem was installed with cars equipped with the RPO Z22 Rally Sport option. Super Sport models received an "SS" emblem and, as before, the "SS" emblem overrode the "RS" emblem if the car was equipped with both options. Also, like before, if the car was equipped with the combination Z28 and Rally Sport options, the "RS" emblem was utilized."

Paul-

I don't think Bill is questioning the judging of this great car, he was just pointing out something he observed that looked different.

If you look at the two underside chassis pics you can see what Bill is referring to. While the pictures are taken from different viewpoints (front vs, rear) you can see the differences in the bends of the head pipes as the come from the exhaust manifolds and bend towards the driveshaft. In one photo they appear to be more of a right angle while the other is more of a gentle angle. Not trying to take anything away from a great car.

First pic - right angle, Second pic from opposite direction shows more gentle angle. Maybe pictures playing tricks but I agree with Bill, they definitely look different to me. Beautiful car I would love to have in my garage, good luck with the sale.

So wasn't the bright pedal trim part of Z23?
