Vehicle Description
This 1972 Chevrolet Camaro is a split-bumper bad boy all dressed in
black. Everyone else might fear the growl of this coupe, but the
serious V8 power under the hood will have you all smiles.
Second-generation Camaros have aged well, and they rarely look as
good as this one. Its slippery black paint is the kind that gives
other cars nightmares. This paintwork not only looks like it steals
the daylight, but it also perfectly highlights the cowl-induction
hood, chin spoiler, and the ducktail spoiler out back. Chrome is
used sparingly, so areas like the split bumper front, contoured
rear bumper, dual exhaust tips, and five-spoke Torq Thrust wheels
are real standouts. Arguably the best piece of brightwork is the
set of hood pins that lets everyone know it takes real effort to
keep the power of this pony car corralled.
Step inside and the dark scheme continues with the door panels,
grippy sports steering wheel, heater controls, and dashboard all in
great glossy black condition. But, this sea of shadows is broken up
in a few cool places. For example, the new sport bucket seats have
nice gray inserts, and the iconic horseshoe shifter has chrome
forks. Beyond the transmission is a set of integrated auxiliary
gauges for oil, water, and temperature. All of these features seem
like they belong on a very serious performance car, but anytime you
want to go for a therapeutic cruise, there's an AM/FM/CD radio
that's connected to a thumping stereo. So you can spend all day
behind the wheel with your favorite tunes.
The darkness continues under the hood. This 350 cubic-inch V8,
which was bored .060 over is going to attract plenty of attention
because everything that people expect to be chrome is now an
eye-catching matte black. It now breathes through a 700 CFM Holley
double pumper, includes a host of upgrades from the Edelbrock
catalog, including the valve covers, performance air cleaner, and
intake which channels air into a set of aluminum heads. All of this
makes a spectacular sound thanks to the headers and dual exhaust
which is comprised of a stainless "X" pipe. The TH350 three-speed
automatic is seamless, and the 10-bolt rear end stuffed with 3.55
gears. Posi keeps the power strong all the way to the road. There's
plenty of features here that make a great recipe for racing
in-between stoplights, but there's much more to this Camaro. It's a
power steering car with disc brakes up front, and modern radials at
all four corners. So, this coupe might look like the villain at
every car show, but it makes for a fine all-day cruiser, too.
