When it debuted in 1970, the second generation of Chevy's Camaro
became a low-slung, swoopy speedster that looked like a European
exotic from almost any angle. To prove that point, take one look at
this head-turning 1972 Chevrolet Camaro Z28 RS 496 Tribute decked
out in a fully repainted red with complementary dual full-length
white racing stripes. Sporting a monstrous cowl-induction hood to
go along with its strategically placed Z/28 badges, this F-body is
one of a kind.
Inside, a center console complete with cupholders separates a pair
of bucket seats. A four-spoke power-assisted wheel sits just ahead
of a six-pod white-faced gauge cluster. In contrast, an additional
trio of auxiliary gauges is situated at the base of the console
just beyond the T-Bar-style gear selector. An AM/FM cassette radio
offers entertainment options, but none that will be any more fun
than the monster big block under the hood.
Under that aggressive cowl-induction hood, we find a massive 496
cubic-inch naturally aspirated V-8 engine. Topped with a single
four-barrel Holley carburetor and an Edelbrock Performer intake
manifold, this big-block does away with spent gases via a set of
long tube headers and FlowMaster dual exhaust. Power is routed
through a TH400 three-speed automatic transmission before reaching
a ten-bolt rear. Polished fifteen-inch American Racing Torq Thrust
II wheels are shod in staggered BFGoodrich Radial T/A tires.
