Rare Camaros
|
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
While
almost any first generation Camaro
can be considered relatively unique, there
are a few cars, models, and options that qualify as really rare. In
this section we'll explore some of them.
First of all, there are several Regular Production Options that are relatively rare, with less than 500 produced. They include the following:
1967
1968
1969
The 1969 Pace Car replica is not really rare, with over 3,675 produced, but is not all that common either. While these particular options don't really increase the car's value, they are rare.
The 1967 Z/28 can be considered rare, with only 602 produced.
Any Camaro with the L89 engine is a rare car. This was the aluminum head 396 engine, which sold 272 units in '68, and another 311 in '69. Another rare option is the JL8 4-wheel disc brake setup. There were only 206 factory equipped JL8 cars sold, but there were many more with the service package rear end from the dealer installed.
Original JL8 rear axle is tapered.Service package rear axle is larger, no taper.

In
addition, factory JL8 cars used 11-3/4 inch front rotors, while regular cars
used an 11 inch rotor.
Moving
on down the line of rare Camaros, we
come to the special dealer prepared cars. One of the first dealers to build
high performance Camaros
was Baldwin Chevrolet in conjunction with Motion Performance. There were soon
several hundred
427 Phase III Baldwin Motion Camaros rolling off the lot, although the exact
number is unknown. It
is believed that all the cars had a broad stripe running from
front to rear down the middle of the car, as well as a special hood scoop. In
1969 the 427 Phase
III Camaro listed for $4,998.95. In addition to the big block cars, Motion also
built several Phase III
Z/28's, which included Mallory ignition, dual electric fuel pumps, tuned equal
length headers, special
hood scoop, Scheifer Rev-Lok clutch and aluminum flywheel, and a Lakewood
scattershield.
Dana
Chevrolet was founded by Peyton Cramer, and
named after a street, Dana Avenue. Dana Chevrolet built
427 Camaros from 1967 through 1969, but the cars remain
a mystery today. It is not known how many were built.
