I very hope this becomes a sticky.

Oh so very often the question comes up, 'How can I tell if my SS is an SS?' or 'I just bought this and the previous owner said it was a.......?' or 'What engine came with my car?' .... Here are some answers. The belowsites do not contain everything you will need to know but itis a good start. If there is something that you still need help with please ask. There is alot of knowledge on this (CF) site.

You are spelling it correctly, look under gull or dupe.

Yes,but do they smell like stale popcorn???? PM me the #'s on the block and I'll see if I can find out where it came from, For the car, it might be worth it to check out a Year One catalog. they seem to make it easy to decode a car and tell you how many were made.

I thoughtI would start the thread not thinking there would be much responces. I have answered a bunch of questions that can be found at these sites. So I though, why not put them all in one spot. Now there are less questions however, there might be other questions that people arent asking now. dunno. There are some for the other gens too, I will get around to consolidating those and posting when I have enough to make it as informative as it can be.

So what car do you have? and what happend to the humming bird ?

????? short term memory loss...... oh never mind, I forgot.....infantry....gt score.....no needa good memory...... lol J/K

ah funny, I had a great gt score, just liked sore feet. I also did counter intel for 2 years,but don't remember any of it. I also fart. Does that make me a mix between a dog and a humming bird?

only if youv'e been to a really fun school at Ft. Benning, (noy the one at sand hill) otherwise it would be more of a cross between a bear and a wild turkey.

I thought all schools there were fun, even sand hill? but really I don't seem to remember any of it. What comes to mind is turtle sex? And if you get spice chanel does that limit eye movement to about half of that?................About the car , are you gona call it a SS or something else.And when are the picks comin.? You MP's take alot of time gettin a sitrep done.

Kevlar, it's a helmet that soilders wear. When one is wearin there helmet,and another sneeks up and swings their helmetto smack another in the helmet that they are wearing. It makes a loud ear ringind crack. It is called turtle f**king.

looking at 67 camaro,he claims it was a Z-28 how do i tell?

At first glance I would look at the hood. Are there any 'badges' on the car? Got any pictures of it? Unfortunately it is easier to make a 'clone' than it is to prove the authanticity of one.

The only 1967 Z28 I saw had NO badges. As far as I know they didn't put any on that year. The ONLY way to tell was that the car had the 302 motor....(it would have the 302 'badge' on it.)
The Z I saw was 5 years old at the time and on a dealer lot, and I guy I knew bought it. For $1500!

I don't have any idea how many were made that year, but thats the only one I can ever remember seeing.

The Z/28 option code was introduced in December 1966 for the 1967 model year. This option package wasn't mentioned in any sales literature, so it was unknown to most buyers. The Z/28 option required power front disc brakes and a Muncie 4-speed manual transmission. The Z/28 featured a 302(5.0L) small-block V-8 engine, 3" crankshaft with 4" bore, an aluminum intake manifold, and a 4-barrel vacuum secondary Holly carburetor of 780CFM. The engine was designed specifically to race in the Trans Am series (which required engines smaller than 305(5.0L) and public availability of the car. Advertised power of this engine was listed at 290hp (216kW). This is an under-rated figure. Chevrolet wanted to keep the horsepower rating at less than 1hp per cubic inch, for various reasons (e.g. insurance and racing classes). The factory rating of 290hp occurred at 5300 rpm, while actual peak for the high-revving 302 was closer to 360hp (with the single four barrel carb) to 400hp (with optional dual-four barrel carbs) (269 to 298kW) at 6800-7000 rpm. The Z/28 also came with upgraded suspension, racing stripes on the hood, and 'Z/28' emblems for the fenders (in 68 & 69). It was also possible to combine the Z/28 package with the RS package. Only 602 Z/28s were sold in 1967. The 1967 and 1968 Z/28s did not have raised cowl induction hoods as was optional on the 1969 Z/28s. The 1967 Z28 received air from an open element air cleaner or from an optional cowl plenum duct attached to the side of the air cleaner that ran to the firewall and got air from the cowl vents. 15-inch rally wheels, were included with Z/28s had while all other 1967-9 Camaros had 14-inch wheels. In '68 the Z28 appeared in Camaro brochures. 7,199 Z28s were sold in 1968.
