You know, there just might be such a thing as a "1966 SS Z28" lurking somewhere in the Northwest. I'm not saying that this eBay car is one of them, but the seller's claims are not that outlandish if you think about it.

The first 17 Z28s were built Dec 29-30, 1966. In Chevrolet's rush get the cars to Daytona on time, the first 16 cars used a 4P (SS) body, instead of the correct 4L (Z28) code used afterwards. Seattle dealer Alan Green received Z28s #5, #6, and #7. Portland dealer Ron Tonkin ordered Z28 #8.

So a 1967 Z28 built in the last week of December 1966 and badged as a 4P car (of which there were 16) could arguably be called a 1966 SS Z28 car.

If a car was built on the last week of Dec of 66 it still would be a 1967 model year it has always been that way look at the 84 vette Gm just by past 83s built in 83 but it still is a 84 model
we will need the cars nunbers to see what it is I dont think he knows himself as far as being rare is pushing it

You guys missed probably the rarest part of the car. This was the one prototype that Chevrolet used to test the new engine paint. It took them many more years before they got the Chevy Blue color just right.

I just jumped forward 2 years, it's a 68. He also posted the VIN. Dec / Jan car.

Denis,
I'm familiar with what you are saying, but what matters is what the window sticker said, which was Z28, not a code they happened to use in production.
4P also can indicate a L30/M20 car. Don't think people would call the first 16 Z28/L30 cars. http://www.yenko.net/ubb/smilies/images/icons/smile.gif

Kurt, I'm pretty sure those first sixteen Z28s all had 4P on their cowl tags. If the original drivetrain has disappeared, you'd have to be pretty observant (eg. 4-spd, cowl plenum hole, assembly date, PDB, etc) to know what you're looking at. The point of my earlier posting is that there may sometimes be a grain of truth in some of these outrageous seller claims.

Wonder if his HOLLY carb leaks. I think there were more than 55 with the flares and hot pink strips

This is a follow up on the 66 Z/SS

This is a 1968. sorry my fingers missed on the original add. the vin# is 124378n366013. I was told this informations by a rare car collector in my local area who had looked my car up.

Hard to see that the vent window was missing.

Didn't all 67-69 Z-28's or SS cars have power brakes as standard equipment? I can't see the power brake booster........Joel

Joel,
All of the original 67-69 Z28s that I have seen had Power Disk Brakes,from the factory.

Super Sport Camaros however, didn't get pwr discs as standard untill the 1969 Model year.

I've seen 1967s with manual disks and 1968s with power drums.

I was surprised. That was how in 1997 we bought a car with manual drum brakes and it was purported to be a SS (69). Gee, that is scary to have a car with alot of GO, and not much on the stopping power. What brought Chevrolet around to the realization that Chevrolet needed power brakes, insurance claims, ect.??...........Joel
