Hi

Did all 1969 Camaro Z28 s come with 4 leaf springs ?

Thanks:beers:

No, not all were 4 leaf. The springs were based on the weight of the options. A lightly optioned Z would have 4 leaf springs. A Z with more options would have 5 leaf springs.

Mine has five, not a Z.

Should be noted that while it was technically possible for a Z28 to come with 5 leafs, based on its options, or lack thereof, no one has come across a "documented" Z28 with 5 leafs yet.

My all-original '69Z has every option you could put on a Z/28 (except stereo) and has 4-leaf springs. :thumbsup:

John! That's a hell of a list. We're all ears. Start typing! Please.

Probably a subroutine in the program that selects leaf springs.

If X=Z28 then Y=4 leaf springs.

What about A/C and a folding rear seat? I do not know much about which options were or weren't available on different models, so this is just curiosity.

That's rich, they included engine coolant and additional fuel for delivery. Think of what that costs now.

69 Z-28's could not be ordered with A/C.
