beginning of the '70s... Z/28s still offered serious high
performance �€" Hagerty, 2018 Here's how the people over at
Hemmings describe the '73 Z28: One of the best-styled American
performance cars from the early 1970s was the second-generation
Camaro. From its Ferrari-inspired egg-crate grille pointing forward
in a very prominent form, to the short, sloping fastback-shaped
rear that makes the car look like it's at speed even when it is
standing still, the Camaro, courtesy of the stylists at Chevrolet,
has one of the most inspiring sporty exterior designs that has ever
been applied to a mass-produced automobile. Their combination of
menacing good looks and encouraging road-handling characteristics
made them coveted by Chevy and muscle-car fans everywhere; even
sports-car guys lusted after them. Offered here is an original,
numbers-matching, 4-speed manual 1973 Camaro Z28 in dark green over
black. The car's odometer shows 60,232 miles, or just 1,254 miles
per-year since new. For the past 45 years the car has been owned
and maintained by the same family. It is a condition-one Z28. The
exterior dark-green metallic (code 42) paint retains near
showroom-new gloss across the entire car. It has never been
repainted. Bespoke Z28 hood and rear-deck twin stripes are rendered
in white. A black chin spoiler is mounted in front while the rear
spoiler rises from the rear fenders; the way the white stripes
travel across the rear spoiler is particularly distinctive. Chrome
full bumpers are mounted front and rear with overriders in front.
The front grille is a blacked-out egg crate design with surrounding
chrome trim. Other chrome includes the headlight trim, window trim,
door handles, and exhaust tips, all in well-maintained, original
condition. Cabin glass and lighting lenses are clear and free of
damage. All factory-mounted badging is properly in place, including
the Z28 emblems in the front grille, the rear deck, and front
fenders, and the Camaro emblem atop the front fascia. Factory
styled steel wheels in gray metallic with bowtie emblems and
Chevrolet Motor Division identification on the center caps, and
chrome trim rings are mounted with BFGoodrich® Radial T/A
raised-white-letter performance tires. Inside, the black vinyl
upholstery on the front buckets and rear bench seat has been
meticulously cared for over the years. It is no exaggeration to
describe its condition as like new. Floor carpeting, also in black,
has been similarly cared for. Door trim in black with pleated-look
vinyl is undamaged. The 4-spoke, black steering wheel with
bowtie-emblem center, frames the driver-oriented instrument cluster
set in woodgrain trim. A large, round, 130-mph speedometer and a
5,600-rpm-redline tachometer are flanked by four, smaller,
engine-monitoring gauges. The original AM-FM push-button radio
remains mounted. The Hurst® branded, angled-grab-handle shifter for
the 4-speed manual transmission is mounted on the black console,
forward of the combination armrest and storage box separating the
front bucket seats. Under the hood, the 350-cubic-inch,
245-horsepower V8 in its original trim occupies a complete, but not
overly detailed engine bay. A chrome air-cleaner cover is the only
adornment. (Note: Both the engine and the transmission are
numbers-matching originals.) Viewed from below, the chassis is
