HISTORICAL FOOTNOTES

In late 1968, John Z. DeLorean became general manager of Chevrolet Motor Division, taking over from Elliott M. “Pete” Estes. It was a good year for the redesigned Camaro as production of 235,147 Camaros was realized in the model year. (Note: Industry trade journals also printed the figure 235,151, but 235,147 seems to be

more accurate; also note that other figures, such as production by factory and production by type of engine, do not add up to either of these figures). The total represented 2.8 percent of total U.S. industry production and compared to 220,906 cars and 2.9 percent of industry in 1967. According to automotive trade journals of the day, the total included 50,937 six-cylinder cars and 184,178 V-8-powered Camaros, although this adds up to only 235,115 cars. Industry trade journals reported that 184,735 Camaros were built at the Norwood, Ohio, plant and 49,064 Camaros were made at a factory in Van Nuys (Los Angeles), California. In addition, the trade journals showed 1,248 Camaros “produced” at an assembly plant in Bloomfield, New Jersey. According to Camaro Brand Manager Scott Settlemire’s sources, these 1,248 cars were actually units produced at the Norwood factory and shipped to a site near Bloomfield (possibly Little Ferry), where they were “knocked down” for shipment overseas. This means that the total number of cars built in Norwood, Ohio, was actually 185,983. Of the Camaros built in the model year, 56.4 percent had automatic transmission, 20.2 percent had a four-speed manual transmission, 78.3 percent had a V-8, 21.7 percent had a six-cylinder engine, 82.0 percent had an AM radio, 3.1 percent had an AM/FM radio, 1.8 percent had a factory tape deck, 15.3 percent had air conditioning, 2.3 percent had a tilt steering wheel, 49.0 percent had power steering, 10.2 percent had power drum brakes, 8.6 percent had disc brakes, 1.4 percent had power side windows, 97.9 percent had front bucket seats, 32.8 percent had a vinyl roof, 85.3 percent had white sidewall tires, 25.8 percent had a tinted windshield only, 27.8 percent had all tinted

The white seats and door panels made for a sharp interior combination.

This car was the only 1968 Z/28 convertible made. It was dark blue with white stripes and a white
convertible top.

glass, 21.7 percent had dual exhausts, 15.6 percent had a limited-slip differential, 62.9 percent had wheel covers and 0.1 percent had cruise control. Camaro sales for calendar year 1968 came to a new high of 213,980 units (2.50 percent of industry) compared to 205,816 (2.7 percent of industry) in 1967. A total of 209,822 new Camaros were registered in the 1968 calendar year compared to 204,862 in the 1967 calendar year and 41,100 in the 1966 calendar year. The 1968 Camaro Z/28 was road tested by three major magazines with varying results. Road & Track (June 1968) recorded a 3.4-second 0 to 30-mph time, a 6.9-second 0 to 60-mph time, a 15-second 0 to 100-mph time and a 14.90-second

quarter mile at 100 mph. Car Life (July 1968) recorded a 3.5-second 0 to 30-mph time, a 7.4-second 0 to 60-mph time, a 14.2-second 0 to 100-mph time and a 14.85-second quarter mile at 101.40 mph. Car and Driver (June 1968) recorded a 2.2-second 0 to 30-mph time, a 5.3-second 0 to 60-mph time, a 12.3-second 0 to 100-mph time and a 13.77-second quarter mile at 107.39 mph. The Car and Driver car was specially prepped by the factory, but beat out a Mustang with similar modifications. A single 1968 Camaro Z/28 convertible was specially built for Chevrolet general manager Elliott “Pete” Estes.
