The 1969 edition is among the most-desirable Z28s, and this
garnet red example is a virtual checklist of its
most-coveted equipment. Options include upgraded interior
trim, the cross-ram dual-quad induction system for the
standard solid-lifter 302, four-wheel disc brakes, and the
Rally Sport package, which concealed the headlights behind
hinged doors.

The solid-lifter 302-cid V-8 with an 850-cfm four-barrel carburetor was again
exclusive to the Z28. Dynomometer tests at close to 400 horsepower made a joke
of its 290-horsepower rating. Dealer-installed dual four-barrel carburetor
options were offered even in '67, and for '69, $500 bought twin 600-cfm Holleys
on a cross-ram manifold, though at no change to the 290-horsepower rating.
Chambered exhaust pipes — perhaps the least-restrictive exhausts Chevy ever
offered — also were available.
1969 Chevrolet Camaro Z28s again came only with a Hurst-shifted close-ratio
four-speed; 3.73:1 gears were standard, with up to 4.10:1 gears available.
Positraction was an option
