from wikipedia (probably not the worlds greatest camaro info source):

"The Z/28 option code was introduced in December 1966 for the 1967 model year. It was the brainchild of Vince Piggins, who conceived offering "virtually race-ready" Camaros for sale from any Chevrolet dealer.[1] This option package was not mentioned in any sales literature, so it was unknown to most buyers.[2] The Z/28 option required power front disc brakes and a Muncie 4-speed manual transmission. It featured a 302 cu in (4.9 L) small-block V-8 engine."

"The engine was designed specifically to race in the Trans Am series (which required engines smaller than 305 cu in (5.0 L) and public availability of the car. "

....and I'm glad you like the colors. When I first saw it, the paint looks to be in real rough shape and I thought I would repaint it. But most likely I will try to do a touch up in the spots where the paint has come off.
