What was the RPO on the 4 wheel disc? J32? There was one on ebay, matching #s that went for 50 last year and my dad wanted it so bad.

Last month I saw a 1969 Z28 with the crossram intake and some very odd prototype heads that almost looked like those from a bbc. I wonder how much that would have been worth?

Am I the only one here who thinks that's a bit, or a lot, outrageous? I mean, it's a car. Maybe it my perosnal vallues, but there's only so much I will spend ona car/bike/house/etc.

Hypothetically speaking, if I get a deal from my invention and could actually afford a car like that, would I be barred from the auto-elitist club if I admitted I would drive that car...at least once a week?

I had heard about them once, but I never saw a picture. The only time I've seen them was on this car. It was at the Muscle Car Museum in Sevierville, TN. I can post a picture of it when I get home in 6.5 hours.

When you have loads of money, you can afford things like this..

Think of all the people that wonder why we spend relatively so much time, money, and effort on our cars...


Heh, imagine if he made it his daily driver.. lol

The first gen 4 wheel disc package was JL8.

A handful of sets were available "over the counter" in 1968 to support Z/28 racers. In 1969 they became an option on any V8 Camaro...but only 206 cars were sold with them. They were very pricey.....so mostly Z/28's intended for racing were equipped with them.

This is something I'd like to see come back again with the 5th gen.. Serious top notch optional equipment from the factory, with the intention of racing..

Yea, especially like how the 3rd gen 1le package was more than just a suspension upgrade.. like the brakes, sumped tank, and better 5th gearing..

I think the 4th gen's 1LE package was basically just a shocks and swaybar?

Please excuse the bluriness in the engine picture. My camera was acting odd that day.
