Rear discs a rare factory option? wtf?

[JJR]

As far as rear disc brakes on Camaros go, I know for sure the JL-8 rear disc brake option was available (from the factory) on a 69 Camaro. It was expensive (approx $500) so very few were ordered that way. I have never heard of a truck (67-72) being offered with 4 wheel disc brakes standard.

That Z-28 Camaro Convertable was being consigned by Northern Illinois Auto Brokers about 8-10 years ago. If my memory serves me right, the price was $120,000! It better have some documentation for that price!

**Interestingly, the rarest Camaro of all is a '68 Z/28 Camaro convertible built for Chevrolet General Manager Pete Estes. It's the only Z/28 convertible ever built. Options included a folding rear seat, auxiliary console-mounted instruments, auxiliary lighting, power windows, remote outside mirror, custom seat belts, performance suspension package, four-wheel disc brakes, blue light stereo system, positraction, '69 prototype fibreglass hood, cross-ram air and powder coated factory headers. The car was used as Estes daily transportation for 6 months until December 1968 when it was sold to a GM employee. It's currently owned by the Rock 'n Roll Toy Store in Illinois.
