This Jerry MacNeish Camaro Hi-Performance Certified 1969 Chevrolet Camaro Z/28 was assembled at the Norwood, Ohio assembly plant. The 1969 Camaro Z/28 is considered one of the most collectible Camaros ever produced. This Z/28 left the factory finished in one of the most elegant color combinations offered in the 1969 model year: Code 72 Hugger Orange with white stripes, a parchment vinyl top, and Code 729 white houndstooth deluxe interior—verified by MacNeish as being original to the car, according to the original trim plate data.
MacNeish also verified that this Z/28 retains its complete born-with, assembly-line-installed driveline, including the engine, transmission, and rear differential. The DZ302 engine assembly date reads V1213DZ with a #386 block casting and a casting date of L 12 8. The transmission is another component that sets this Z/28 apart from the crowd, as it retains its factory-installed M22 “Rock Crusher” 4-speed transmission. The assembly date reads P9S18C with a #660 case and the VIN derivative 19N566275 (matching this Z/28). The rear differential is the original BV code 12-bolt, also installed in this car from new, with a BV1218G2 assembly date verifying its 4.10 Positraction gear ratio, a #860NF casting number, and a casting date of L98.
