A friend of a friend came by with a fairly new 67 with 327 stick and she let me drive it. Oh boy! It ran good but had some serious wheel hop and that didn't impress me much. Didn't much care for the slanted dash layout either.....

Same car same problem. Wheel hop till you thought it would throw the rear end completely from under it. I mean real bad!!
 
A friend showed up at church somewhere around the late seventies to show me his new (used) 68 camaro. He bought it from a local Chevy dealer. It was supposed to be a 275 horse 327. I looked it over. It had a four speed with a Muncie shifter, a twelve bolt rear with a factory traction bar, open element air cleaner, a holley, an aluminum intake and valve covers. Oh, and a solid lifter tick. And a 6500 red line on the tach. My friend had no clue what he bought, and the dealer didn't know what it sold! All of the above equipment screams Z28. Just like the 67 Z28s, the early 68s did NOT have badges. His new car was undoubtedly an unmarked Z28.
I have lost touch with my friend, but I doubt he still has it.

I remember hearing 67's had wheel hop because of shock location, they changed it for 1968. A friend had a new '69 Z/28, that thing could wind up like crazy and he had the right gear in it. They were great looking cars. Yellow like this.

Had a metallic green 69 Firebird. Liked those better. Picked it up really cheap since the engine had been blown. Those were the days we put Mopar engines in everything. Like a 318 in a Civic. The Firebird got a 440. Sold it a year later and finished college with no bills.

the Mono leafs were prone to wheel hop like a M-fer too

yeah the 67-68 400 Firebird were cool *** cars
a bit more style & flash than the Camaros, same platform
had a couple early 67-68 Firebirds & later years a few Trans Ams

my step dad Bob was a Pontiac guy, GTO man
a lot of that rubbed off on me

Hope all this GM brand-x talk
doesn't negate my MoPar Man card :lol:

I liked the Firebirds more than the Camaro as well. Around 1973-1975, almost every day while riding a bike to school I went past one of these. Of course I had no idea that it was super rare...only eight were made, and just three of them were in Canada.

Had a 67 I got used , drove it year round for almost 20 years , great car except for **** front brakes , I will admit I think the brakes were a tad better then my 67 rt . I will be putting disc on the rt in the next couple of weeks.
