exhaust Muncie M20 four-speed manual transmission Power steering
and power brakesNew restored interior Rallye sideview mirrors with
driver?s side remote controlNew front Rally Sport bumper and RS
grill with front and rear RS spoilers Documentation includes
restoration receiptsVery tidy undercarriage 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 split
bumper Camaro has been restored and improved since it left the
factory and has recently had a stunning comprehensive restoration!
Under the hood is a powerful 454 V8 matched with a M20 four speed
manual transmission and this car sounds absolutely amazing! 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. The front has a new new front Rally Sport bumper and RS
grill with front and rear RS spoilers. 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 powerful 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 that the interior has completely been recently restored with
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 like new 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. Underneath
the undercarriage is extremely tidy and solid, must see the photos
to appreciate! 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 located at our
facility in St. Louis, Missouri. Current mileage on the odometer
shows 10,328 miles. It is sold as is, where is, on a clean and
