Despite the first Arab Oil Embargo running most of the ponycar
class into brick walls and forcing the Ford Mustang into an economy
drive after 1973, GM stayed the course with its Camaro and
Firebird. This 1973 Camaro Z-28 has been restored and improved
since it left the factory. Built during the second week of December
1972 in GM's Norwood, Ohio factory, this F-body is the beneficiary
of a full restoration. Dressed in red with black racing stripes,
the car's paint and trim are in excellent overall condition. The
car's windows are clear and intact while its lights look great. The
car's bodywork is straight and solid, the engine bay is extremely
tidy, the battery appears new and the chrome bumpers are in
excellent order. This was the final model year for the quad
taillights and non-wraparound rear window. This Camaro rolls on
BFGoodrich Radial T/A white letter tires, 235/60R15 in front and
275/60R15 in back. Each tire is mounted on black, five-spoke wheels
with bowtie center caps. All wheels and tires are in very good
order. Under that counterbalanced hood is a 454 CID big-block V-8
engine with a four-barrel carb. Backing this motor is a Muncie M20
four-speed manual transmission. Driver convenience features include
power steering and power brakes. Open either door to see the
standard black vinyl interior (code 775). The front buckets (code
A51) and rear demi-buckets are in overall excellent order while the
complementing black carpet is in very good condition. The matching
headliner looks fantastic and the four-spoke steering wheel donated
from the Chevy Vega is in great condition. The instrument panel and
inner door liners are in all in excellent shape. The padded dashtop
is crack-free. The floor mounted shifter emerges from the
driveshaft tunnel and is topped with a white ball. There are three
ancillary aftermarket gauges (coolant temp, ammeter, oil pressure)
mounted beneath the dash and there's an AM/FM stereo. The 1973
model year incorporated standard impact-absorbing front bumper
system to meet new no-damage standards in five miles per hour NHTSA
safety legislation. The Rally Sport option, with its chrome
bumperettes on either side of an impact absorbing urethane grill
surround, continued for one more year due to creative bracing
behind the front sheet metal. A new Type LT model was offered in
1973, with a quieter and better-appointed interior, full
instrumentation, Rally-style wheels, variable-ratio steering, sport
mirrors, and hidden windshield wipers, among other upgrades. The
Super Sport package was dropped, and the big block 396 CID V-8 was
no longer available. Power was down due to new emissions standards,
with the top-rated 350 CID V-8. The engine was switched from
solid-lifters to hydraulic tappets. Air conditioning became
available as an option with this engine. The Z-28 option could be
ordered on both the sport coupe and LT models. When the Z-28 and
Type LT options were combined, the usual Z28 badges, stripes, and
graphics were deleted. Other changes included a new console-mounted
shifter for automatic transmissions similar to the shifter used in
Pontiac Firebirds replacing the Buick-like horseshoe shifter of
previous Camaros and the reintroduction of power windows to the
option list for the first time since 1969, with the switches
mounted in the console. Recovering from the strike, Camaro sales
increased to 96,751 units during a record sales year industry-wide.
Competition to this Camaro in 1973 was AMC's Javelin, Dodge's
Challenger, Ford's Mustang, Mercury's Cougar, Plymouth's Barracuda
and Pontiac's Firebird. Documentation includes various parts and
restoration receipts. VIN: 1Q87H3N115358 This car is currently
