Nevah see a Chevelle with Factory Power windows and a remote Mirrah either .... And AC too. AC was VERY RARE in my neck of the woods, of all the old Pontiacs I owned only one that had AC, bought it cause it had lots of rare options making it a great car to part out. Pontiacs, as mentioned were a step up from chevies, lots of plane jane chevies around back in the day. All the farmers bought them cause they were cheap. I had a 67 Tempest and a 67 LeMans Too. Bought both of them to part out. The LeMans was optioned nicely, 326, 4 speed, console, rally gages, posi, Red with Black interior. Lots of desirable parts on that one. One of the neatest things about '60's cars was the absolute amount of options available. New Vehicles now days have a fraction of the options available back in the day. You could option out the same car to be a luxury sled to a stripped out race car if wanted too. Things that are common today were options, backup lights, rear view mirrors, radios, power brakes etc etc etc.

That 302 I$ very rare, and underrated. Shorter stroke of 283 crank with 4" bore. Quick RPMs. Tell him don't scatter it like most did the first two years of production.
I wish we all still had all of them, but who could afford that.
I had a ford,,, once.

The Z302 Camaro was garage kept since the mid 70's He did not beat it and now it has classic tags on it so it gets used a few times a years To add to it he has a 1975 Blue Honda 750 motorcycle in running order . That would give the Camaro a run for it's money in the 1970's .Those 750 Hondas had a lot of get up and go in them .I know and I am lucky to be alive to tell about it

I have one those old blue Hondas here in nice original condition, but it is a smaller cc.
The 302 was made 3 years, 67 the first , only 500 some. I think half of those cars wrecked in first year. The engine Id code is DZ. I had a 69 but not Z. I made money on all those old muscle cars. Unlike today we lose on them all lol.
