Good news on the Z28 front. Styling changes made the car seriously sinister. It had some extra poke under the hood too. Click here to read all about it.
The Berlinetta got spiffy wire wheel covers which replaced the polycast wheels and the paint scheme for the RS model was modified.
Ahoy - there was a recession looming on the horizon and sales plummetted to 1/2 of the previous years record setting level. Something needed to be done, and among the highlights? were....
- 267 CID V8 debute (not available in CA thank god)
- 250 CID L6 eliminated, replaced with V6
- new tight mesh grille
- To save gas - Speedo reads to 85MPH Max, down from 130.
- vinyl roof cover eliminated.
