There is a reprint of the original road test of a 1970 Camaro Z28 in the July 2023 issue of Hot Rod magazine.

There were other roads tests, too. Possibly of the same car. One was in "Sports Car Graphic" and probably "Motor Trend", "CAR AND DRIVER", and "Car LIfe".

I have the original March 1970 issue. It says it's 370 horse. lol.
The fold-out from the front cover is the Firebirds.
The original magazine was 50 cents.

In 70 I was making $1.35/hr PT at a grocery store and large pack of Export “A” was 65¢.

So the original article was actually in that hard to read script and colored background.

Yeah Tom. That pic was taken right out of the magazine sitting on my desk.

I'll see if I can get some better pics. As Tom said the script is hard to read and the colored background doesn't help.

Wonder why they used a photo of a first Gen Crossram engine? I guess it looks more potent....
