1973 Chevrolet Camaro Z28 LT

Description

For many muscle car enthusiasts, 1973 was the end of an era that may never return. There's no question that high-quality cars like this genuine 1973 Chevrolet Camaro Z/28 are quickly gaining in value because this helped the legend go out with a bang. So with a great original red paint scheme and an enhanced 350 V8 heart, this is a true muscle car hero.

Sometimes you just know the right people have taken care of a car, and you can see it from the moment you lay eyes on this Z/28. The code 75 Medium Red is the factory-correct color, but it never look this good when it left the Norwood facility. That's because there has been a serious investment in a professional respray. Now this aggressive red sports coupe has the kind of luster that will sparkle in the sunshine and reflect the neon at night. This genuine RPO Z28 has more than just the correct badging on the grille, fenders, and rear. From the wide air dam up front to the rear ducktail spoiler, the car looks fast from any angle and you simply can't go wrong with black SS stripes. The bodywork is super straight, the crease running along the side is sharp enough to give you a paper cut, and the stripes are crisply outlined against that vivid red paint. It is all set apart with the five-spoke Rally wheel package that was specific to Z/28s.

Inside, the interior is fresh, clean, and premium right from the factory. The high back bucket seats are supportive and comfortable, especially with the center console in-between. This coordinating black on the seats, carpeting, door panels, and dash really help with this Z's menacing attitude, but it's far from the whole story. The premium LT packaging means there is some great wood paneling breaking up the darkness on the door panels and in front of the gauges. The premium attitude is also taken into more modern times with a Pioneer AM/FM/cassette stereo with EQ and R134a air conditioning. This is all set in a dash that is oriented towards the driver, because you are the most important part in this Z/28. That's why you also get a grippy factory sports steering wheel and beyond that are a full set of gauges, including large speedo and tach.

Under the hood it looks like it's 1973 all over again, and with good reason. The 350 cubic-inch V8 was rebuilt around 3,000 miles ago. So not only does it fire up on command, but also you'll instantly notice it has a bigger rumble than most Z/28 you know. That's because the motor has been enhanced with an Edelbrock four-barrel carburetor, Edelbrock Torker intake, and long tube headers. So while 1973 was the Camaro's last stand as a true muscle car, this one makes sure it represents that heritage with an extra hit of power. But more than just brute force, this Z is a great driver with features such as power steering, front disc brakes, TH400 three-speed automatic, and versatile 3.42 rear end.

This is a pivotal year for the Z/28, and this car takes it very seriously. With all the right original pieces and the right upgrades, it's the perfect car to feel (and stay) cool while cruising all day long. Don't let this opportunity pass you by. Call now!!
