Meet Old School.
Old school, as in street slicks on 15"Torque Thrusts, old school as in traction bars, old school as in locker rear end, old school as in turbo 400 with 3200 stall, old school as in a 4-barrel carb and headers on either side of a big block mill.
Old School aint no "restomod".
This '73 Camaro was born a split bumper RS, the final year of the chrome bumper cars on the Gen 2 body style. It has been built for street fighting on Saturday night but retains just enough civility to make it a fine Sunday cruiser.
It starts with a GM Performance 502 big block crate motor topped with an Edelbrock intake and Holley 850cfm 4-barrel carburetor. A high pressure fuel system and a K and N air filter spit fire through a pair of Hooker headers and out through set of Dynomax mufflers and three inch axle back dumps. A built 3 speed Turbo 400 with a 3200 stall converter spins a looped drive shaft into a Quick Performance 9" Ford housing with 3.50:1 Detroit Locker center section.
Obviously with this drive train, there is no problem breaking loose a set of Micky Thompson 275/60-15 ET Street radials mounted on a matched set of classic American Racing Torque Thrust 5-spoke wheels. Up front 215/70-15 BF Goodrich Radial T/A's are mounted over factory power disc brakes (drums out back) with an auxiliary vacuum assist reservoir. A set of CalTracs rear suspension bars and front drag shocks keep everything planted and under control when the pedal hits the metal while a B and M ratchet shifter delivers precise upshifts every time. Twin shrouded electric fans and frame rail mounted trans cooler give this car real world driveability.
Recaro bucket seats are purposeful and extremely comfortable. Dakota digital instrument panel is fully functional and a dash mounted Monster Autometer tach light gives you all the information you need to make a fast pass. The AC components are all there but are not connected. Glass is good and all of the lights work as intended. Interior is in very good condition overall.
Despite all the muscle, this is a very streetable car. It tracks straight down the road and steers and stops excellent. This thing will flat roar under heavy foot but cruising volume is more than tolerable; as you might expect from a power tour veteran.
This '73 Camaro has always been in Texas and as such is a dry, rust free example with better than average body gaps. The aftermarket cowl hood fits a good as any and gives this car a menacing look to its already stout stance. Older paint job still shows nice even with a few imperfections acquired over the years; still more than good enough to take a trophy at a local car show.
Old School is ready to go and show! There are zero mechanical issues with this awesome muscle car.
The car is located in Garland, Texas and is offered as is where is. No trades. Low ballers, scammers or sales assistants need not apply. Call, text or reply.
