Dan, I have been trying to set up a spread sheet that will best display the type of data we have compiled on the various cars documented on this thread. There's a lot of data to consider!

Once that is done, it will be easier to analyze differnt items such as production dates, optional equipment, etc.

On a side note, there is a very good chance that I will be getting in touch with one of the key parties involved in the 1977 Z28 project before too long, to see what he can add to the mix!

anyways. the 77 Camaros could have a 350 with the base model too. Mine came with the 160HP 350 LM-1 with the high alt. emissions package.

The car is 28 years old, and who knows what has been done to it, but sometimes you get lucky and find one. Look first under the bottom of the lower back seat cushion, or front seat cushions, look behind the door panels, or on top of the gas tank.

There is no way to document one through the VIN other than to rule a car out that didn't come with the LM1 350.

Go back through the earlier parts of this thread, and you'll see different other ways to document the car.

[B]Yeah it looks like a blank for sport coupe. I've never studied the model but I thought all of the models had 305's except the Z28 which had the 350. The VIN decodes as a 350 and the engine decodes as a 350. Is it possible to have a Z28 without the trim tag 8?

First of all, the same LM1 350 4 bbl. that came in the Z28 was an option on any Camaro that year

Second, this talk of an 8 or an S or whatever, is news to me. Some Z's had a "Z28" on the bottom line of the trim tag, some didn't.

Just curious if any Z's were built that early in the year?

The earliest '77 Z28's were built the first week of Feb 1977 and show 02A on the trim tage.

Hope this helps.

I have gotten a file set up properly in the 'puter in which to begin organizing all this Z28 stuff I have amassed over 28 years, including the e-mails and data I have received from many of you over the past almost two years now (wow, has this been going for that long now?!!!).

My first undertaking is to actually scan and save every page from every article about the '77 Z in all the old magazines that featured this car.... only about a hundred pages! Then I want to scan and save all the original factory literature I have (much of which has already been done and seen earlier in this thread).

I appreciate the few who have been with this thread since it's start, and especially those who have kept it going for the past year. Dan, you probably more than anyone.
