IMO this is quite possibly THE most badass musclecar ever produced by ANY car manufacturer EVER...

my friend that i live with has a 69 SS Coupe looks just like that but it's a metallic grey

 

but does it have a 302 - VERY RARE... that was the point i was making - they had around 500hp from factory - factory race car 302 small block w/ Muncie 4spd. made specifically for the Trans Am racing series in their time

 

nope it's got the 327.... i get what your saying now... didn't realize that it had that

 

Yep those "DZ" cars are worth a ton of money. Funny thing is that it is a 283 crank and a 327 block. This yeilded a 302 small enough displacement to compete in the Class II Trans-Am, GM answer to the Boss 302. I have read that it was just an experiment by GM and they found out that the motor loved to rev. However it was only rated @290 hp.

 

ive always heard it was a 283 block bored .030 over

it may have been the Can-am races idk i just watched a show about them on speed

i know they had to be rated at higher hp or they wouldnt have been race motors or be worth so much today...

 

I know it was one of the two Trans-Am or Can-am, pretty sure Trans-Am. I edited my above post. Yeah they had to produce 1000 of them for sale so they could compete in the race, that is why they are sooo rare.

As for HP, they were rated at 290, but were actually like 400hp.

And it only cost $800 dollars more than the normal camaro, sick huh

 

that's crazy, i just started googling the 302 after i read your post and everywhere i read it says 290hp and i couldnt believe it...

 

my favorite for sure! My dad had one EXACTLY like it, although it was chocolate with white stripes, 302 and all. He paid 5000$ back in 1970 but then sold it 3 years later cuz my mom couldnt drive stick BTW, MOM you SUCK!!!!!

 

if he had kept it all these years he would be one happy man
