1969 Chevrolet Camaro

1969 Chevrolet Camaro Z/28 â?" DZ 302 V8, 4-Speed, F41 Suspension, Vinyl Top Why This Car Is Special The 1969 Chevrolet Camaro Z/28 occupies a specific and well-earned position in American automotive history. It was not a street car that moonlighted on the track â?" it was a competition-bred machine that Chevrolet made street-legal to satisfy SCCA Trans-Am racing homologation rules. To compete in the under-5-liter displacement class, Chevy engineers combined a 283 block with a 327 crankshaft to arrive at exactly 302.4 cubic inches. That engine, designated the DZ 302, became the heart of every Z/28 sold during the first-generation Camaro run. The Z/28 option was not advertised in Chevrolet's main sales literature in 1967 or 1968 â?" it was essentially a word-of-mouth package for buyers who already knew what they were looking for.
