Hello boys and girls. West Perth County new guy
Permalink  
 


Been involved with cars since I can remember. My uncles and their buddies were always taking me for spins in their new Chevelles, ElCam's, Camaros (67 camaro original 302 car was my fav, they didn't call them Z28 then), all their buddies with BB Chevelles taking me home from baby-sitting etc.

Welcome to the site!! Now that is an INTRO! Can't wait to hear more!!
I would rather see pictures of cars as they sit now [especially when you have a personal
history behind them], rather than all shined up for display for some stupid trophy.

Time for the fartsack. Early day tomorrow again. Self employed, so everyday is the same.

Welcome. The fist Camaro was called a Z28, but they had 302 markings on the fenders, same as my early 68.img003.jpg

Thanks guys. Parklane, you could very well be right I'm just going from memory on the '67 Camaro. I'll see my Uncle at xmas that bought it new.

I remember him saying the car had no Badges and was coined Z28 because of the 302 and other kewl stuff. Anyway, I thought it only had 302 on the cowl, not the fenders. Both Uncles worked for the Chev-Olds dealership back then. My '69 Z had Z28 Badges but no indication of 302 inside (guess that was a given). I dunno, I'll check it out.

Maybe he'll have pics of it ! That would be extra-kewl !!

My Dad was one of those Super 8 movie camera taking guys back then. If it moved, it's on film.If the dog wagged it tail, he got that.

Years later he got some fancy rig to transfer those 'reels' to VCR tape. I know there's a ton of 'film' from late '60's GrandBend. Some of you guys might even be in them ?

I'll talk to mom in the morning about that. She don't throw nuttin out !

Lunch time over. TTYL

Ya, you gotta be you. The orange car ? Roof spoiler, painted bumpers ? I had the Green one, and still do.

 

Gotta go.

Well Chuck, found a pic for my avatar. The Green Meany ring a bell now ?

Model A guy: After we took all the beer cases back 2 years or so ago, I found it again ! Ha.

I found some pics on the old 'puter of both cars, but the folders are all messed up.

I have pushed it outside since this pic and gave her a bath. Am I even on the right thread to bore you guys with this ?

Apparently, Z28 was the code for the 302 Camaro, and GM decided to name it as such. Same as Z71 in the trucks.

Thanks Marten and Cheyenne.
Marten, you're a good 8 hour drive away from me. I guess we're not far away if you're a trucker ?
Cheyenne, I'm sorry, I don't even know where Vienna is ! I thought Italy, so you're farther way than Marten.
Parklane, I have just about everything anybody ever wanted to know about the 67 Cam.

Just when I thought I knew it all about them, I found I kinda do. Talked to Muff. Some of you may know him. I'll post about that 67 (Z28) issue thing later, and my info is good, very very good.

Have a couple Customers showing up in minutes, so I best get my butt out to the garage.
(The house is a mess)
