The front spoiler on a 1970 Z28 joins the following:

Magnum 500 wheels on 69/70 Mustangs
Spoilers on 69 Mach 1's
Red & White engine callout sport stripes on 1970 Cudas
4 speed in a 67 Buick GS 340

All were never available from the factory as options.

This was the car that put Graveyard Carz in the limelight: One of only two 1970 Hemi Coronet R/T convertibles.

It's a Camaro convertible with custom body panels. I like it. What say you?

...not completely true Lee. The front spoiler was part of the COPO 3-piece spoiler package that was added later in the '70 model year and was shipped inside the car and then dealer installed. What was never available was the front spoiler with the short 1-piece spoiler in '70.

A very rare car. It has the $388 Competition Handling Package which included 15" wheels and tires along with 15" Galaxie wheel covers. This package was standard on the 67 Shelby Mustangs.

It was also a required option if you wanted the HiPo 289. Ford priced this engine option sky high as it wanted to sell 390's instead. That's why there are so few 67 HiPo Mustangs. First you could only get it with the GT option ($205). Then you had to order the CHP ($388) and finally the HiPo motor ($433). Total cost = $1,026! Almost twice the price for a Hemi ($564). The only reason Ford kept the HiPo 289 alive in 67 was for their Trans Am racing efforts and their committment to Sheby for this GT350 Mustangs.
