1973 Camaro Z28 RS Split-Bumper 383 Stroker 4-Speed - Excellent Condition

1973 Camaro Z28 Split-Bumper 4-Speed
The 1970 - 1973versions of the 2ndgeneration Camaro are quickly replacing the 1st generation (1967 - 1969) in terms of popularity, and rapidly increasing value. The 2nd generation goes through 1980, but in 1974 the front clip changed and the car began to look quite different. The 1970 - 1973 model years are unique, highly desirable, and becoming harder tofind.
I have bought and sold a lot of cars, this has been one of my favorites. Classic American Muscle, well built 383 stroker, v-tech heads, and a close-ratio 4-speed that will pull you back in your seat in every gear. It handles exceptionally well because of the Hotchkis suspension kit, and the headers and 3" free-flow exhaust sound like muscle. (CA buyers, this car is smog exempt.)
Atrue 1973 Chevy Camaro Z/28. I have theoriginal bill of sale, and a lot of recent records for this vehicle, all ofwhich will be included in the sale.
The interior is black, and is in great shape. Carpet is new. I bought the Z/28 floor mats just a few months ago. (I drive the car 50 miles a month +/-). I covered the instrument bezel with a carbon fiber covering, which looks great. The turnsignal indicator lightbulbs were both out when I did that, so I put chrome screwswhere they go (along the bottom of the bezel). I didno damage, however, so the bezelcould easily be unscrewed to replace those bulbs.
I moved the oilgauge,from thetraditional location under the lower dashboard, into thespotwhere the stock ashtray was located, below and to the right of steering wheel. I made a bezel for it, andcovered that with the samecarbon fibre covering. I have the original ash tray.
I added anamplifier to the stereo,which I mounted inside the glovecompartment. I replaced all 4 speakers. For front speakers, ratherthan cut up the inside of the car or doors, I made a bezel, covered it with the carbonfibre, used the same chrome screws I used in theinstrument bezel, and mounted in below thedash and on top of the transmission hump.The system uses a standard headphone jack, so I use my iPhone, but any phone ormusic device with aheadphone jack will work, and playthough the stereo as "aux".
All thegauges, and everything else in the interior works as it should (exceptthe turn signalindicator lights). No cracks in the dash, door panels look great, headliner is new. The driver's seat is splitting alittle along the seams, but notenoughto be noticeable, in my opinion.Seat belts on all 4 seats,with shoulder harnesses in front.New windshield, new steering wheel.
The motor is a 383 stroker that has about 7,000 miles on it. Edelbrock intake and holly carb.
Factory close-ratio four speed car with a 3:73 possi track rear end. New radiator, new gas tank, new fuel lines (all the way to the carb), new steering gearbox, new power steering pump and lines, new water pump, new upgraded fuel pump, new battery, new battery cables, new master cylinder. Exhaust is all new, dynatech headers, Dr. Gas X-Pipe, full 3" pipe all the way back to Spintech box mufflers. The header gasket on the right side of the engine needs to be replaced; but it does not leak exhaust that I can tell.
This car runs better with an octaneadditive. It runs fine on premium, but it produces more exhaust and sometimes will run-on. I will include a bottle of the octane additive I use. Itis not essential, by anymeans, but the car isproducing so muchhorsepower it does run better with the additive.
The car does not leak any fluids. I keep metal pans under all myclassic cars, butthis one has not needed them.
Upgraded with a Hotchkis TVS pro touring suspension and subframe connectors, new shocks, new poly body mounts, new A-arm bushings, which make this car handle great!It holds the road really well.
New brakes, new u-joints, new clutch. All fluids are fresh. 17" American Racing Torque Thrust Wheels,with brand new BF Goodrich tires - maybe 150 miles on the tires, at the most.
Exterior of the car isgreat overall. All exterior lights work property. Body ruston the rocker panels behind the front wheels will need attention at some point, but you don't see it unless you bend down, and here in San Diego it is dry all the time so I have not doneanything about it. The chassis, floor and trunk are solid: no rust. The paint isnot original, butthe repaint wasbasically thesame blue as theoriginal color, so it looks great inside and out.
I have an extra air cleaner and valve covers for this car, which are black. They will be included with the car, and are inexcellentcondition.
I have the clear title in hand, the original 1973 bill of sale, and many of the receipts for what has been done on the car.
I have described the condition of the car to the best of my knowledge. I am a car-guy but I am not an expert. Please ask any questions. Iwill do my best to answer your questions, take morepictures, etc. I want you to getwhat you expect to get.
This is definitely an "adult supervision" kind of car, IMO. There is noway I would allow my teenage sons todrive this car.
