67 Z is a rare car. ����
Yes it is very rare with only 602 built (4L code) cars. Ours was a well optioned RS Z (Marina Blue over black deluxe interior) Norwood CA build in 4/67 so had a smog 302 ("MP" code) on the Protect-O-Plate. 67 Zs also had an "H" code (Holley carb) on the Protect-O-Plate.
There were also around 1100 high performance big block (396 CU/375 HP) 67 Camaros (also rare, of course) which had the "H" code on the Protect-O-Plate. These were the only 2 engine options with the Holley.
The 67s had 2 bolt main 302s and thus many blew up. Ours was drag raced in CA by the original owner/2nd owner.....I do not recall for sure and the motor had one hole scored.....but not blown up. 350s were just coming into favor on the strip so ours had a 350 when we bought it in 1974. That motor was tired thus the 4 bolt main 302 (not a DZ block but a 327 block with a 69Z crank) was put in by the guy we bought it from as he and his buddies were all about 69Zs.
Thanks, to some of us working together the original motor was found a several years ago at an old speed shop (cool!) and unfortunately the guy (a 67 Z expert from Canada) would not sell it back to me as he had wanted our car for many years. As a result of me not wanting to sell the car (I wanted the motor of course) he sold the motor and it ended up in a red 67 Z in CA some where. My nephew is trying to find that car so we can match the motor to our Z.
IF ANY OF YOU CAR GUYS KNOW OF ANY RED 67 Z/28s IN CA, LET ME KNOW
