Camaro z28
he world's
menu of powerful GT cars contains a few selections of uncommon merit.
Almost invariably they are European, frequently Italian in descent, few
in numbers and high in price—the precious gems of the car builder's art.
There is nothing precious about the Camaro Z/28, Chevrolet will stamp
them out like the government does cupro-nickel quarters, but it is an
automobile of uncommon merit. It would be every bit as much at home on
the narrow, twisting streets of Monte Carlo or in the courtyard of a
villa overlooking the Mediterranean as it is on Interstate 80. It's a
Camaro like none before.
As everyone knows by this time the 1970 Firebird and Camaro were introduced late in February rather than during Detroit's annual fall festivities. Several weeks before Camaros were due in the showrooms, Chevrolet turned loose a half-dozen Z/28s to various members of the automotive press for whatever kind of evaluation pressmen make. We had requested one with an automatic transmission—the Blue Maxi, with its 350 cu. in. Z/28, had already convinced us that the manual transmission combination was more than satisfactory—and such a car was waiting. It was an early production model that had been carefully inspected and the result was an automobile of commendably high quality.
