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 RPO Description # Sold Retail AS1 Belts, Front Shoulder; driver and passenger, standard type for use with standard seat belts 477 23.20 J56 Brakes; heavy-duty front disc with metallic rear brakes (Z28 Special Performance Package required) 205 105.35 K30 Speed and Cruise Control; Cruise-Master (automatic transmission required, V-8 only) 305 50.05 1968 RPO Description # Sold Retail AS1 Belts; front shoulder (2), standard type for use with standard seat belts (convertible only) 70 23.20 AS5 Belts; rear shoulder (2), standard type for use with standard seat belts 24 23.20 A85 Belts, Custom Deluxe; front shoulder (convertible only) 222 26.35 K30 Speed Control; Cruise-Master (automatic transmission required, V-8 only) 327 52.70 1969 RPO Description #Sold Retail AS1 Belts; front shoulder, standard type for use with standard seat belts (convertible only) (RPO-AS1 also listed as RPO-YA3 during 1969) 47 23.20 AS4 Belts; rear shoulder, Custom Deluxe type (RPO-AS4 also listed as RPO-YA2 during 1969 37 26.35 AS5 Belts; rear shoulder, standard type for use with standard seat belts (Sport Coupe) RPO-ASS also listed as RPO-YA2 during 1969) 78 23.20 CE1 Headlight Washer; (included with Rally Sport equipment) 116 15.80 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.
