Yep...  I'm TOO young..  :)       When I remember the big huge protruding tires and jacked up rear was more like mid-60's... or maybe a bit later on older cars...  Not on Camaros!   Seems pretty 'red-necky' to me 'Bill Thomas or not'...  Bill made his name on the drag strip not the street... :)

Thanks for clarifying that Jon, that was based on http://www.camaros.org/diffs67.shtml which says the '67 Z/28 had them.

Tim, I don't see where full (large,tall, etc) rear bumper guards are mentioned in that link you've provided ?  Small rear guards, AKA "bumperettes" however were included on all all 67's. No bumperettes factory installed in 68.

Sorry for the late reply as I don't frequent this site as much as I should...

Garth, that's because it was edited after my post, according to the version date near the top of that page:

Thanks, I should've known... :-[ Good catch.

After studying the 68 AIM trim heights, I can't come to any conclusions one way or the other as there's just not enough difference that I can see. My feeling is the guards were added simply to go along with the race theme of a Z/28. They actually provide a little more protection down low for the gas tank and filler neck
