Sounds like he needs a '69 Z/28, such as this one. The RS option with the covered headlights was really cool. Penske and Mark Donahue destroyed the Trans-Am fields with these in the late '60s, and much of the racing development made it to the street cars with the Z28 option, such as optional dual Holley 4-barrels on the 302, several rear axle ratios, camshaft grinds, 4-wheel discs, etc. The 302 was basically a high-RPM racing engine right off the showroom.
What I would've given for one of these in high school! I still might get one...
It's tough to find an original Z/28 though, without selling the farm for it. A nice '69 SS with a 350 or 396 can be had for less $.
