CLASS RACER FORUM - View Single Post - 69 Camaro Z-28: How rare is it?

One of the reasons that the Z/28 was very popular was the insurance factor. There were plenty of 396, 375's around but you couldn't get insurance. Your insurance payments would be more then the cars. I think it was 25 years old got the discounts, so if you were younger then that, got screwed by the insurance companies. The Z/28 came in at less then 10 lbs per advertised HP (290 HP, shipping weight 3218), it flew under the insurance radar. Also, it wasn't a model, it was an option, so it wasn't in the vin number.
