Try this place: http://www.camarosource.ca

If you can't find the information yourself within that website, ask the owner of the site.

 

I think it was 78

 

It came back in 1977. Even though it still had those ugly bumpers on that year, they were body colored and looked pretty good. The 78 had the front end and rear light change and that's when the Z28 really took off again. Check out www.nastyz28.com. They have TONS of info on Second Gen Camaros.

 

Mid-year 1977. Availability was limited, but it had a genuine 350 4bbl.. The '77 was badged Z28 for its improved handling package. Personally I like the '77 Z28 over the '78 because it weighed less and still had an interior package similar to the older second-gen Camaros. Plus they look good when you black out the grilles and headlight bezels.

 

Yep !!! Mid 77' It would be easy to tell what your friend has by the bumpers.. his car should look like this one
