1. The wrap around rear window was supposed to appear in 1973.
Engineers were having trouble with the window popping out as the adhesives used weren't able to stick to the glass in driving conditions. It wasn't until 1975 that they found a butyl sealant that did the trick.
2. The Z/28 hood decal on 1974 Camaros has a factory defect.
The white background isn't supposed to be visible at all. It should've been clear tape to show body paint color. The master decal was sent to the manufacturer with white in the background and was printed that way.
3. You could order a high performance 327 Camaro four speed car in 1967 and 1968 which was virtually and SS 327 package.
This option was RPO L30. It wasn't marketed in ads nor promoted. What happened is if you ordered a 275 hp 327 with four speed transmission, a group of mandatory features were added to make it a budget performance car. The transmission was a Saginaw instead of a Muncie but you also got a 12 bolt axle ( some cars came with 10 bolts), single traction bar, dual exhaust, wide profile tires, high torque starter motor, special distributor, Quadrajet carb with good cylinder heads and forged steel crankshaft. The 1968 versions featured staggered shocks, multi leaf springs and proportioning valve for rear brakes. One of the best budget bombers out there.
4. 1975 Camaro, the difficult one to restore.
1975 was a strange year for General Motors. Many cars had one year only parts which makes restoring them tough to do. Camaro interiors are a good example. GM secured a line of interior fabrics and vinyls with special patterns that weren't repeated the next season. 1975 was also the year they added a leather interior option. It wasn't repeated either.
5.A hard to find Camaro: 1971-1972 SS 396When was the last time you saw a real one? They don't pop up as clones often.
