For sale is this absolutely incredible 1973 Chevrolet Camaro LT1. An absolutely premium example of an original 1970's survivor show car, it remains in extremely excellent cosmetic condition. With an era-appropriate finish applied over the original "Dark Blue" GM paint, it's presentation is utterly ridiculous, and simply cool. What's even more astonishing is the astonishingly low 28,974 mileage, which has most certainly contributed to it's time-capsule quality preservation. Being a fan of sports cars, original choppers, 70's custom show vans, and other vintage vehicle oddities, this '73 Camaro, in my opinion, is as good as they come. I'm not a dealer, I'm just a serious classic car enthusiast, and while I've owned many vintage and high-end vehicles, I've never seen another car that comes close to this. This satiated my desire to own the most unique '70s original custom sports car, and I'm sure it can do the same for you. Alas, like many in my predicament, I've run out of room, and the condo lifestyle isn't conducive to owning numerous cars.
The best part, as always, is the backstory. I purchased this from a seller on eBay over 3 years ago. I was high bidder at $22,322.22 (see screenshot of listing below). The previous owner had only partially informed me as to the car's history, however, you good people online reached out to me to to reveal the car's entire past, which was really quite a treat. According to the previous owner, this car had been a long-time resident of Georgia, well, that wasn't the case. As the original paperwork, buildsheet, and many people explained; this car was originally a Marion, Ohio vehicle, and it seems that it was there for many years. Apparently, the original owner, a gentleman named Mike Irey, purchased the car new, and within the next year, had Tom Lush customize (paint) the car into the vehicle you see today. The second owner, Jerry Kauffman, enjoyed and showed the car for sometime as well. Apparently, in and around Marion, Ohio, this Camaro remained a show staple, and became a celebrity amongst that community. Many eBay members have forwarded messages to me stating they vividly remember this car from their childhood, and that it was a high profile sports car (well, just look at it, how could you forget seeing this thing?) which could be seen driving around and parked at shows in the mid-late '70s. In fact, many messages indicated that this car had been entered into shows near Marion, Ohio, as late as the early-2000s. It was soon thereafter that a gentleman purchased this car, and stored it in his garage near Atlanta. Sometime thereafter, that owner fell upon hard times, and went to his pastor for a loan. Though the pastor's wife advised against such, the pastor loaned him money, in exchange for the car and title. The original owner was never able to re-purchase his beloved custom Camaro, and the pastor left it in his garage. Fast forward, to around 2010, and after the pastor died, the pastor's wife sold it to a family friend. That gentleman cleaned it up properly, did small things to make it street ready, and again, put it into storage. I purchased it on 9/11/2013 from that man's friend, and then I drove it back to Los Angeles. While it made it back in one piece, without issue, I was determined to make this car as great of a driver as it is a looker. Over the past 3 years, like so many bozos that have come before me, I spent way too much money, receipts totaling $38,852.15 to be exact, on this thing. Turning the original 350 block into a bored out 383, installing factory vintage air conditioning, and doing everything possible under the hood. Yep, I have a book of receipts to attest to the money I've sunk into this, looks at the scans below, but heck, I wanted this Camaro to be a beast, and after tens of thousands of dollars, I got what I wanted. Sure, while I've spent over SIXTY ONE THOUSAND DOLLARS on this car, I'm starting this No Reserve auction at one penny, and selling it the the highest bidder, regardless of price... Merry Christmas.
