This historic, highly documented, 1972 Z28 Camaro is without question the most storied Camaro of all time. And with the end of the Camaro line, Garfield will remain the most storied of all time. In addition to being the most storied of all time, Garfield has been owned by some of the biggest names in the Muscle Car industry including:

Tom Laughlin - Actor Billy Jack

Dick Guldstrand - Guldstrand Engineering

Cam Benty - Peterson Publishing, Motor Trend Magazine

Jim Loosee - Car Craft, Edelbrock Corporation

Leonard - Emanuelson - Peterson Publishing, Motor Trend Magazine

Lee Lasky - Peterson Publishing, Chevy High Performance Magazine, Charlotte Motor Speedway

Dubbed the name "GARFIELD" and one of "AMERICAS HOTTEST BODIES" by Peterson Publishing editors because of its Hugger Orange and Black Stripes resemblance of the cartoon character. This now famous and historic Camaro has graced the covers of more Automotive Publications and been the feature of more Automotive Magazine Tech Articles than any other single car in history. Most recently in the April 2003 Issue of Maxim Magazine and may yet reappear there again in the coming months.

While owned by Edelbrock and Guldstrand, how did they know if their performance products would perform?? Simple. Use Garfield as the R & D mule for their performance products. And that they did. Garfield was the single most tool utilized in developing most of the performance manifolds and suspension systems that these companies put out for small block Chevrolets and that you see for sale today in the performance shops.

Garfield also participated in the 1993 Triathlon of Motorsports in Las Vegas and scored well above many Porsches, BMWs, Corvettes, Dodges and many others. Performance results are included in the detailed documentation package.

Garfield is an AWESOME car and will always remain as a historic piece of the Muscle Car and Z28 history.

I could go on and on about this car and could never tell you what a cool car this has become.

Still think this car is not special?? How many cars have been designed and built,,, and yet 30 years later it is still being photographed for magazines?? This is the only one that I know of !!! This car is an irreplaceble, one of a kind and can never be duplicated or replaced,,,, EVER !!!
