I wanted to see if anyone rembered the blue max camaro.I belive it was joint venture between Car & Driver magazine and the Roger Penske Trans Am team.
It was billed as the ultimate 1969 Camaro, painted dark blue w/ yellow pinstriping, it also received the 1970 LT-1 350 engine, 4 wheel disc brakes,and maybe the cross ram , but I'm not sure.

This would have been in the late 1969 or early 1970 range,it was quite an extensive article.Also I think Car & Driver gave it way to a reader or subscriber,this was 36 years ago so some facts maybe a litte fuzzy.

Also finding this car would be pretty cool, if anyone has any info please chime in.

Car is in NJ I believe, well known among East Coast Camaro people. It did not have a cross-ram while at C & D.

I have an old magazine with an article about that car. If I can find it, I'll scan it and post it.

It was called The Blue Maxi and was supposed to be a fast good handling comfortable nice looking 4-seat GT car. They started with 69 Camaro RS SS 350 4 sp with AC and added Corvette brakes 350 LT1 F60-15 tires and American mags. Work was done at the Penske shop. It was a cool article.

John Hooper's 69 Camaro Book has a chapter on that car. Interesting read.

Well, I have found the articles. They are 20yr old photocopies. They are not real clear but they are certainly readable. There are 2 seperate acticles from Car and Driver about the Blue Maxi Camaro.
I also scanned an article from Sports Car Graphic magizine about taking a real Trans-AM Z/28 and putting mufflers on it and driving it as an everyday driver. All of the articles are pretty interesting. I have no way to host them to put them up here. Does anyone want to host them?

For Camarodave,would like to see both articles,the one from SCG on the Trans-am z-28 wmufflers sounds great.

I still need someone to host these articles.
