Check out this incredible 1967 Chevrolet Camaro Z/28 at the 3rd Annual Tat 2 You Car Show in Excelsior Springs, Missouri! This Z/28 is a true gem, and spotting a genuine one can be a challenge. Let’s dive into some of the key details that help separate a real Z/28 from the clones. 👀✨

The 1967 Camaro Z/28 was a special model designed specifically for the Trans-Am racing series, making it a highly sought-after classic today. Since it was produced in such limited numbers (just 602 built), knowing how to identify an authentic Z/28 is crucial for enthusiasts and collectors.

How to Identify a Genuine 1967 Z/28:

1. VIN and Engine Code:
The VIN of a 1967 Camaro won’t directly verify if it’s a Z/28, but the engine code is a good place to start. A true Z/28 came with a 302 cubic inch V8 engine, and its engine block should have a suffix code of MO, denoting the high-performance 302. This engine was only available in the Z/28 package, making it a key indicator.

2. Rally Sport (RPO Z22) & Special Trim (RPO Z21):
While the Z/28 package could be ordered with the Rally Sport or Special Trim, these features alone don’t confirm a genuine Z/28. But seeing the hidden headlights and trim accents paired with the 302 engine could be another hint.

3. Cowl Plenum Air Cleaner:
The 1967 Z/28 often came equipped with a cowl plenum air cleaner, which was designed to bring cooler air from the cowl vent at the base of the windshield directly into the engine for improved performance. If a car still has this original setup, it could point towards a genuine Z/28.

4. Specific Equipment Package:
A real Z/28 from 1967 will feature front disc brakes, a 4-speed manual transmission, and a 12-bolt rear axle. These were all part of the Z/28’s racing pedigree and help identify the car as an original.

5. Interior Details:
The interior of a Z/28 should have 60s era gauges, a tachometer, and a console with a 4-speed shifter. While these features aren’t exclusive to the Z/28, they’re another part of the puzzle when confirming authenticity.

6. No External Badging in 1967:
Interestingly, the original 1967 Z/28 didn’t have specific badging to distinguish it as a Z/28 from the outside. Unlike later years, it didn't have “Z/28” emblems on the fenders or grille. This makes checking under the hood and cross-referencing the engine and other specific parts even more critical when verifying authenticity.

Spotting a real 1967 Camaro Z/28 requires a keen eye, knowledge of these details, and sometimes a bit of luck. But when you find one, you’re looking at a piece of muscle car history. It’s a thrill to see a car like this at events, representing the peak of Chevy’s performance engineering in the late 60s. 🚗🌟
