Chevrolet
®
introduced the wildly successful Camaro
®
in 1967 to
compete with similarly sized and proportioned “ponycars” from
other manufacturers. Initially, the largest engine available was
the big-block 396 cubic inch V8. It produced plenty of horsepow-
er for straight-line acceleration but also produced a lot of weight
for the front end, which harmed the handling.
With the announcement of the Sports Car Club of America’s
new Trans-Am Sedan Championship, Chevy
®
knew they had
to have an entry. While not ofcially endorsing racing activi-
ties, Chevrolet
®
knew from stock car competition that if your car
won on Sunday, you could expect a showroom full of people
on Monday. The problem they faced was that the SCCA had a
305 cubic inch limit on engine displacement. The Chevy
®
327
was too big while the 283 was not known for its performance.
The solution was to put the crankshaft from the 283 into the
327’s block, resulting in 302 cubic inches of displacement. Not
only was the resulting engine powerful, but also light in weight,
enabling the engineers to focus on the handling. Rated some-
what conservatively at 290 horsepower, the V8 was included in a
“special performance package” that had the option code of Z/28
®
in the order books. By 1969, the Z/28
®
package also included
special front and rear suspension, dual exhaust with “deep-tone”
mufers, heavy duty cooling, a quicker steering ratio, white let-
tered wide oval tires and the now familiar rally stripes in white or
black. Rarely seen performance options included a cross-ram
intake manifold with dual 4 bbl. carbs and special “chambered”
exhaust, both of which are replicated in scale in your Revell kit.
Due to the delay in getting the all-new 1970 Camaro
®
ready
for production, the ’69 model remained in production for several
extra months-until February 1970. As a result, the ’69 model was
one of the best selling years for the Camaro
®
with over 243,000
copies sold.
