In the late ’60s and early ’70s, the big three from Detroit knew that the muscle car era was ending, at least until new technology could be used. Emissions regulations became more challenging for the manufacturing plants, causing many of the most powerful engines to be de-tuned to meet the requirements. Another issue that was coming up for the owners of the cars was increasing insurance premiums. The more horsepower the vehicle in the garage had, the higher the premiums went. To top it off, gas prices were at an all-time high with no signs of ever going back down, so an engine that could only get 4 to 6 miles per gallon was no longer on the top of the priority list for the majority of car buyers. The 1970 Z28 was the storm before the calm. One of the last great classic muscle cars to be offered on the market.
