The Z28, had some owner added on badges, common back then as SS badging on an LS is today.
It was a real SS with the PITA hideaway headlights .

This is copied from a Camaro site, "Rally Sport (RS) Camaros
The Rally Sport (RS) option was an appearance package that included hideaway headlights, backup lights under the rear bumper, and special exterior trim. It was available in combination with any other option, including Z28 or SS (thus referred to as a RS/Z28 or a RS/SS) or L6 engines."

Back around 65 there was a Covair powered bug running around here. I never saw it but a friend I worked with told me about it. At the time I was driving a 55 Pontiac.

There was a guy in my hometown that took a beetle engine and transmission and made a three-wheel motorcycle out of it.

I know I’m late on this thread, but 3 on the tree Camaros. To my knowledge, only 3 were made. The one I know is the same color and color scheme inside and out. This one is yellow and black.
