Several inaccuracies:
Many think the cowl induction hood and front and rear spoilers were standard on the Z/28, but they were extra-cost options.
As of April, ’69, spoilers were included with the Z/28 option and the MSRP increased to $506.60.
Of the 243,085 Camaros sold in 1969, 34,932 were equipped with Regular Production Option (RPO) Z27, which was the Super Sport Package. It cost an extra $295.95.
That was the initial option MSRP. Increased to $311.75 as of January ’69 and $327.55 May ’69 when chrome tailpipes were added.
Just 4,889 L-78-powered Super Sports were sold.
Technically correct. However, all COPO Camaro [1,066] build records list the L78 engine. Actual L78 production was 3,823.
The RS package was available on any Camaro in 1969…It included…pinstripes over the wheel wells…
Except on Z/28 and cars built with D90 striping.
Chevy also sold Indy pace car replica coupes in 1969.
Z10s were not involved with the Indy 500.
Total [COPO] production has been estimated at 1,300 cars.
COPO Camaro production was 1,066 units based on production figures furnished by Chevrolet. There were 69 COPO 9560 ZL1 Camaros and 997 COPO 9561 L72 Camaros.
In 1969, for the first time, you could order your SS 396 Camaro with aluminum heads. But they were extremely expensive and few buyers went for it. Adding RPO L89 to your L-78 396 cost $710.95.
Aluminum heads were first available in 1968. The L89 option [$394.95] required ordering the L78 engine [$316.00] for a total cost of $710.95.
