Vehicle Description
These second-generation Camaros were longer, lower, and wider than
the first gen cars and this '73 was the last year with that
beautiful split front bumper before government regulations forced a
complete redesign of the front end. This one could be yours. Check
it out.
The color combination on this car is gorgeous. The Dark Blue paint
has a bit of metal flake in the clear coat that isn't immediately
obvious, but really catches the light nicely under the lights.
Before any of that paint was applied though, the surface was
prepped and body panels adjusted so that everything looked tight
and right when it was done. Up front, those upgraded chrome split
front bumpers look great. From there, the only badge on the car
appears on the nose and bold white rally stripes flow up the hood
and continue on the trunk running up and over the rear spoiler. The
four round taillights are underlined by a sharp looking bumper with
chrome exhaust tips peeking out from underneath. The look is kept
clean with body colored side mirrors and chrome American Racing
alloys complete the look of the car quite nicely.
Open the door and you will find a clean and fresh interior that
looks new. The long door panels are simple with an embossed pattern
in the center with a nice armrest between two large door pockets.
The high back buckets have pleated seating surfaces with smooth
side bolsters and don't look like anybody has ever sat in them. A
deep dish three-spoke steering wheel with a bowtie horn button sits
on a tilt column in front of a stock dashboard housing gauges that
are spotless with the thin chrome trim around them looking brand
new. A factory tach sits to the right of the 130-mph speedometer
with the fuel, water temp, and volt gauges flanking them on either
side. There is an aftermarket head unit for the FM/iPod compatible
stereo for your listening pleasure and a T-handle B&M shifter
for the automatic transmission is mounted on the floor.
Pop the hood and you will find a healthy 350-cubic inch motor
nestled down in a neat and clean engine bay. A black air topper
with a bowtie and Chevrolet in orange match the black valve covers
that received the same treatment. They both compliment the orange
wires that originate at the Mallory distributor and the Chevy
Orange of the engine iron while a chrome alternator and radiator
support add a splash of flash. An Edelbrock 4-barrel carburetor
flows into the engine through an Edelbrock intake manifold and out
through long tube headers with Flowmaster mufflers which give this
car a nice healthy sound. Power flows back through the 3-speed
automatic transmission to a 10-bolt rear end mounted on leaf
springs. Control arms and coil springs handle things at the front
and sway bars both front and rear keep the car cornering flat while
4-wheel disc brakes give you some serious stopping power. The
rubber meets the road through 255/60R15s in the back and 215/60R15s
in the front mounted on those classic American Racing alloys.
Come on down and check out this sweet looking '73 split bumper car
with gorgeous paint and a spotless interior. Then take it home and
start planning your cruise nights and back road adventures in
it.
