For Sale: 1973 Chevrolet Camaro in Volo, Illinois

Vehicle Description

INTRODUCTION: This is a professionally built, highvend pro touring machine that blends exotic car refinement with brutal American muscle. The craftsmanship and attention to detail throughout this build are simply on another level. From the mirror like black paint and hand tailored Italian leather interior to the LS6 powertrain and fully upgraded suspension, every inch of this Camaro was designed with purpose. It has the looks to stop people in their tracks and the performance to back it up in every way.

EXTERIOR: This '73 Camaro is a mirror on wheels! The slick black paint is polished to such a deep gloss you could shave in the reflection, and every inch of the body is arrow straight. The gaps are square, flush, and precise, giving the car a very dialed in look. It features the desirable Rally Sport front end with split bumpers, the extended nose, and the unique lighting configuration that gives these Camaros such an aggressive face. The body is accented with neatly hand painted red and gray pinstripes, sport mirrors, front and rear spoilers, color matched bumpers, blacked out window moldings, a new windshield, and fresh weatherstrips. It sits just right on 18-inch Boze Flo-Lite wheels, extra wide in back, wrapped in Mickey Thompson performance tires.

INTERIOR: Am I sitting in a Ferrari? It sure feels that way. This is a meticulously crafted custom interior completely wrapped in glove soft Italian leather with red stitching. Right in front of me is a Nardi sport steering wheel mounted on a tilt column. The sport seats have a firm, performance feel and are even heated for added comfort. The custom center console features cup holders, a storage compartment, and best of all, a 6-speed shifter sticking out of it. The leather wrapped dash surrounds a custom instrument panel filled with upgraded gauges, a push button starter, and a modern Vintage Air climate control system with electric slide controls. There's also a touchscreen infotainment system that's hands free, has navigation, back up screen and is Sirius satellite compatible. The sound system is impressive too, with large custom speakers integrated into the handcrafted door panels, which are wrapped in leather and accented with nostalgic red houndstooth inserts. The molded rear shelf houses additional speakers, while the back seat area features a matching upholstered seat back and boxed lower section with very well fitted storage compartments. Down on the floor is premium square weave carpet with matching mats. Above, the headliner and visors have been replaced. And those aren't old fashioned window cranks- they're actually clever power window switches designed to look like manual cranks. It even has power door locks operated from the key fob. Overall, this is a very well appointed, meticulously executed sports car interior that blends luxury, nostalgia, and modern performance perfectly.

ENGINE COMPARTMENT: This LS-powered drivetrain is built to perform. At the heart is a 5.7L LS6 featuring a custom ground cam, Advanced Induction ported heads, a FAST LSXR intake, and a massive 102 mm throttle body. Kooks headers help it breathe freely and give it an aggressive performance tone. It's also equipped with a Hydroboost power brake system along with a Chassis Max support bar system to help stiffen the front end. The engine compartment is extremely well detailed and thoughtfully assembled. Features include power steering, a big aluminum radiator, dual electric fans, and a polished overflow tank to keep everything running cool. Braided stainless hoses feed the Hydroboost and Wilwood master cylinder setup, while a modern serpentine belt system drives the alternator and air conditioning. The details are what really separate this one. It's fitted with premium compression style hose clamps, new horns, hood insulation, and a very clean, professional level of workmanship throughout the engine bay.

TRUNK COMPARTMENT: Under the trunk lid and jamb, the slick black paint is just as glossy and polished as the exterior. Inside, it's finished with a striking red houndstooth trunk mat that ties in perfectly with the custom interior theme. The rear panel has been boxed and carpeted, housing a subwoofer, and I'm sure the amplifiers are neatly hidden behind it as well. The battery has been relocated to the trunk and is equipped with a master disconnect switch. It even comes with a car cover to help keep this masterpiece protected.

UNDERSIDE: Underneath, this Camaro has been significantly upgraded to deliver a true sports car like driving experience. It's equipped with a Hotchkis Sport suspension system featuring tubular control arms, adjustable coilover gas shocks, and a fat sway bar up front. Countersunk welded-in frame connectors tie the front to the rear, helping eliminate body twist and dramatically improving handling and rigidity. Out back, it has lowering leaf springs with gas shocks for an aggressive stance and balanced ride quality. The exhaust system is a serious setup too: a 3-inch stainless system with an X-pipe, Hooker Aero Chamber mufflers, and QTP electric cutouts that let this Camaro go from refined to rowdy with the push of a button. The fuel system has been completely replaced and upgraded to support the fuel injected engine. Stopping power comes from a Wilwood brake system with drilled and slotted disc brakes at all four wheels, along with an electric emergency brake assembly. Looking up at the drivetrain, you'll find a high torque starter mounted to the aluminum engine along with a Tremec Magnum 6-speed manual transmission operated by a hydraulic clutch. An aluminum driveshaft sends power back to a tough 12-bolt rear end equipped with 31-spline axles and 3.73 posi gears. The floors are all clean metal, and overall, the entire underside has a very proper, professionally built appearance.

SERVICE: We take pride in our cars and our reputation. Every vehicle goes through our service department where it is inspected, test driven, and we address the essentials before offering it for sale.

CONCLUSION: This Camaro delivers the total package: show quality craftsmanship, modern performance, luxury-level comfort, and true driver engagement! You could spend years and a fortune trying to duplicate a car like this, and still not achieve the same level of fit, finish, and execution. This one is already done, sorted out, and ready to impress at any show or dominate any road you point it down.
