I'm going for the 1970 Z-28 RS with the LT1 350, Muncie M22 rock crusher, and the 4.10:1 "411 positraction" read end. Blue with the white stripes.

I ordered and bought a ‘73 Z with blue/white stripes / white interior .
Huge lemon from day 1 . Picked it up and drove about a mile from the dealer when the Muncie linkage locked up . Had to drive slow back to the dealer in first gear . No mechanics there in the evening , had to do a temp. repair on my own . Salesman of course didn’t know squat . Had more trouble with the linkage and a dozen other things . Like I said , very sour lemon . Got rid of it within 6 months and never bought a GM product again .
I had a 70-1/2 RS with the split front bumper. Set for top end, 350 with the 2 on it barrel on it but with headers, a bit of cam and a shift kit with extra leaf berlinetta springs and air shocks in the back and station wagon coils in front. It would get off the line nicely, go 150 mph (I did a run of 120 miles from in the Shenandoah valley to northern VA in an hour and ten minutes once) and remain stable and also get close to 30 mpg on the highway if you kept your foot out of it.
In our company office kitchen there’s a pic of me standing in the open door of it in a WHO concert T-shirt from around 1982. It’s captioned “Do not sell that which will be extremely difficult to re-aquire in the future”... it was yellow jacket yellow with black deck stripes... [sigh]
Oh, mine ended up blue with white stripes after damage in an accident later too. There’s a spectacular one (and a Z28) owned by someone in Finland that’s blue and white too, I’ll have to see if the pics are still out there.
