While attending the largest car show on Long Island which attracts over 1,500 cars from the '20's, '30's and to the present I came across this mint looking 1969 Chevy Camaro Z/28 Muscle Car. The paint job was a great looking blue with a nice pink pin striping job along the bottom of the doors. The cars engine looked like it had been steamed cleaned before the show and there was no oil or dirt to be found. The owner came over while I was taking several photos and started the car to excite the crowd and he had no problem doing that. The car's engine was loud and you could tell this car had no problems reaching remarkable fast speeds. In addition to this fantastic muscle car there were many other muscle cars from 1956 Chevy Bel-Airs along with some great TV and movie cars, such as several versions of the Batmobile, the DeLorean from the movie Back to the Future and many others. But this was my favorite car of the show. It caught my eye the minute I was in its area. For more information on the 1969 Chevy Camaro Z/28's please feel free to read the information below;
It wasn't the fastest muscle car, but with single-season styling and a unique combination of brake, engine, exhaust, and induction options, the 1969 Chevrolet Camaro Z28 was arguably the most desirable Z28 of all. Adding $458 to the $2,726 base price of a Camaro coupe, RPO Z28 included the F41 handling suspension with E70X15 raised-letter tires on seven-inch wide rims, quicker steering, and twin rally stripes. Front disc brakes were standard on the 1969 Chevrolet Camaro Z28, and for the first time, four-wheel discs were offered. They cost $500 and just 206 sets were delivered, about half going to full race cars. The solid-lifter 302-cid V-8 with an 850-cfm four-barrel carburetor was again exclusive to the Z28. Dynomometer tests at close to 400 horsepower made a joke of its 290-horsepower rating. Dealer-installed dual four-barrel carburetor options were offered even in '67, and for '69, $500 bought twin 600-cfm Holleys on a cross-ram manifold, though at no change to the 290-horsepower rating. Chambered exhaust pipes -- perhaps the least-restrictive exhausts Chevy ever offered -- also were available.
