Re: crazy looking car

Loose the neon Firehawk wheels and neon seats and you've got a nice car. Paint job could be "lived with". For a little while anyways.

Re: crazy looking car

Seen it many times before. Given the history of the car, if I had it I would certainly not change a single thing. Price is a bit high though IMO, even with that motor in it.

Re: crazy looking car

Would much rather have this car(and keep the TPI lol!!)...



Someone at Chevy came up with the idea of the Heritage/25th Anniversary Camaro. The police-spec B4C RS would pack a special L98 engine making 300 horsepower; a revised suspension would not only give it a softer ride, but improved handling. It would have a ZF 6-speed, just like its big brother, the Corvette. The front seats were modified to better hold their occupants. The design, development, validation, testing, and production tooling for these goodies would be handled by Detroit specialty house TDM. To make it special, there would be just 602 produced--the exact same number as Chevy had built of Z/28s in 1967.

Two prototypes were assembled (one of which you are looking at on these pages) and the $28,000 bombshell would be called the 25th Anniversary Collectors Edition Camaro (option code Z4F on the RS). The engine had a trick cam, a one-of-a-kind intake system, one-off tube headers, a 3-inch exhaust system and ported aluminum Corvette heads. Equipped with 245/50ZR16 Goodyears on "diamond spoke" wheels, the car ran 13.50s at 104 when tested at Raceway Park in Englishtown. It rode like a dream, yet handled like a true thoroughbred.
