CAM 2 was widely available in Ohio in the late 60's early 70's, and always on sale. It was a Sun Oil Co (sunoco) product at that time. I recall that they sponsored one of Roger Penske' "ALL American Racers" Chevy Camaro entries that was driven by Mark Donahue. Apparently they never gained the desired penitration into the national market and it seemed to disappear after after the early 80's.FWIW-- Oldtommy
It was pretty popular here in OH. It always seemed to be displayed and on sale at the discount stores.

Interesting - because the CAM2 website says they started in 1975!

Yes! Never used it...
I saw a drum of CAM2 5w30 in a shop last month, the owner said they've used it for years.
Cam 2 always on race day,what a great smell!
I. Actually used it on my '69 Z/28. Red cans if I remember. Great memory I had forgotten.

I remember running a couple of intervals of Cam2 oil in my 88 Dodge Shadow ES Turbo back in the late 80s, they used to sell it at the Sunoco stations up here. I liked running that oil because it gave me the impression that my engine was running smoother compared to the Castrol XLR 10w30 that I usually ran in it back then.
My dad worked for Sun back in the day. I was cleaning out his garage today and found an unopened case of Cam2. Memories!

So, do you guys remember Sunoco gave out those NFL stamps and collectors books in the 70s?
That was my place as a young man. Cam2, football stamps, air pump for the bike, then minibike, then cars.
Great memories indeed!

Where is this 69 Z/28 now? Please don't tell me you wrecked it. Must've been a wonderful feeling ripping the gears behind that dz302.

Oh how I wish I still had it!
302, built and lovely. Almost showroom condition. My girlfriend's father collected coupes, and owned the local Fiat/Lancia dealership. He bought it on a whim in NY at a show. He didn't really want it and sold it to me for what he paid for it in 1978. I paid (gulp) $3444.00
Can you imagine? White on blue. Everything sans AC.
4.88s in the rear, and it maybe went 75MPH, but got there VERY quickly
