Car Life July 68 Z28 Road Test
« on: February 19, 2018, 09:46:33 PM »
I found several 67 road tests here but did not find this one for 1968.  Apologies if a repost, but here it is.

This test is on a drum brake car. They show the disc photo and reference the past test they did in Mesa.

That brings back a lot of memories.  I bought my used 302 Camaro Sport coupe in the spring of 1971.  Took me years to figure out why my car didn't have Z/28 emblems on the front fenders.  Culberson Stowers Chevy helped me fix that issue.  lol   

Hard to believe all these years later I used this car for 4 years as a daily driver.

Another '68 Z/28-RS feature in the September '68 Motorcade. Different car; has white stripes. U46 on this one also.
Learning more and more about less and less...
