I'll take a 69' ZL-1 OR THE 67'-69' L-88 which both have more horse...585 n 560 respectively.......enen though only made in limited #'s-[3 n 216]-I believe they are still considered factory issued..........

When I had my 70 Z28,It was a 4 speed car and I knew where the sweet spot was in second gear.Man you talk about fun.I'd just be crusin in the sweet spot and it didn't matter who was next to me I'd jump on it and was gone.Man I can't talk about it anymore.

C-3 styling is second to none and was the body style that ran the longest.

If you get hot feet all you do is turn on the Air cond.. LT-1 doesn't have air cond only 1972 LT-1 has air cond.
