There is a 1969 Z28 Camaro currently listed on BAT where the seller has posted 2 short videos driving the car:

Any comments from other cross-ram manifold owners?  I'm impressed with the performance!

Not a cross ram owner but I agree the engine started and ran very well. I also found JM,s report very interesting, most I see posted do not show all the pages. A little surprised the report lists the vin for the NOM incorrectly showing an N where it should be an L. My plan is to get both my 69,s certified by JM someday.

Is it just me or does the front bumper look a little wonky........doesn't quite look uniform and aligned correctly with the grille.

In the description they state it's a replacement, and I believe it's been discussed that those often aren't as good a fit as originals.

I'm pretty sure the car was raised by the bumper jack because the paint is marred-up where the bumper hook would contact it from underneath.  I guess those repros won't stand up to the car being lifted.   Real nice.

Page 3 of Jerry's report on this car also says that the bumper is a reproduction that does not fit the car properly (as usual).

I just finished my '69 Z with a cross ram setup and it responds just like in the video, it's a bit scary when you exceed 45K RPM range, it just wants to take off! and like the one on BAT it like to idle around 1,200 RPM's and really loves to drink the high-octane fuel.

Watching the videos brought back memories of my friend's 1968 Z28.  I think the new owner will have a lot of fun driving the Z28!
