The History of the Chevrolet Camero – 1978
This was the first year of the last metamorphosis of the second generation Camaro known as Type C. New body coloured bumpers front and back were a welcome change from the aluminium ones of group “B”. Removable “T” roofs were new and often leaked. They were also very expensive to replace. The Z28 model had 185hp and came with a duct bonnet scoop that was non functional. The suspension on Z28s was tuned to give a somewhat softer ride and manual transmissions were not sold on Z28s for California.
