The same thing applies to Z-28 Camaro's. The only way to really authenticate one of these cars is with the original build sheet. There are a...

Re: Early 65 parts needed Mike Have you talked to Craig Conley or Jim Cowles about the Z bar? I would check with them and Tony Branda for...

I try to drive my 65 every couple of weeks during the summer at least five miles. Red line is 6500, but it will go 7000 easily.

I was told that the Tremec trans could be modified to fit without cutting the floor, but the driveline angle was all wrong. Did you run into this?

Re: Idle rpm I think it was between 600 and 750 RPM. My car does not idle below 1000 due to an extremely radical camshaft.
Depending on the car and how much abuse the driver was willing to put it through, times varied from low 15's to mid 14's. The over ride traction...
