Bill, Trying to learn....but where are the Z28 emblems? I thought 1973 had foil Z28 emblems on the spoiler in back...and metal emblems on the front fenders and grill area?

[XXXGoldL34M20]

I think because it is an LT model there were no Z28 emblems.

Were the hell are the original rims and tires <<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/hmmm.gif for that price they can throw the rims and tires currently on the car in the trash.
Looks like the car sits to high as well.

Correct, the LT option changed the badging. Super Stock &amp; Drag Illustrated did a road test on a similar car with the LT/Z/28 options.

LT badged Z28's, goofy but true for '73.
Love the black - - paint!
Seems expensive especially presented w/ wrong wheels etc but wow on the mileage!

The Type LT trumped the Z28 badges for 1973 ... it was a stealth car when it was new

The only external giveaways would have been the OEM 5 spoke 15&quot; wheels, dual tail pipes &amp; rear sway bar (plus the &quot;sound&quot; of a forged piston small block)

The spoilers were an option as well ... no stripes, no Z28 emblems ... <<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/smile.gif

(yeah, I owned a few of them over the years)

----I had the 73 Z twin to this Z in late 74 or so. It started life green as the original owner ordered. Dealer told him he couldnt order black. I guess he just never checked deep enough about --. He had the dealer paint the green Z black before delivery. This Z has possibly the worst tire and wheel combo a guy could pick on a 73 Z. I mean,,,,really??? I know, I know,,,its subjective, but come on. Oh,,,And I am not a Crager hater!......Bill S

150K and no engine photos? Super cool car with neat options and low mileage but I would expect original wheels and tires and a 4 speed.

[Xplantdad]

Interesting....I learn something new every day! <<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/beers.gif

[markjohnson]

Neat car . . . . but for that kind of money I'd rather have a Super Duty '73 'Bird.

[ZiggyL78]

I'd buy this one and a LS6 and still have change.

Man is that car ever beautifull, i would take that one over the Black survivor in a heart beat. Great price too for a superb clean car <<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/biggthumpup.gif 4 speed as well.

You most likely can not even buy a car and restore it for the $37 K he is asking.

[Ike455]

Wow, u r 100% correct, that car is super nice. 37k seems like a great deal.

[ZiggyL78]

He's had it for sale for over 6 months. <<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/dunno.gif

That is a very nice looking 73 Camaro. I see double hump heads. I don't believe they are the correct heads. Which if my assumption is true, it makes me wonder what else is not correct. I would also like to see the trim tag. Great looking car.

The information provided is limited, along with few pictures. From what I can see, the key items (wear) that differentiate ultra low mileage cars from the rest have been replaced. Neat car but too many ?'s and no detailed information. I'd like to see it at the MCACN show.

I'll never forget a friend of mine Roger Theil bought a green LT Z28. Nobody believed it was a Z28. No badging, spoilers or stripes. The only give away were the 15 inch wheels and the Z28 on the trim tag. I was there when he picked it up at Kirk Chevrolet in Newtown Sq.,Pa. Although not and LT1 it still ran very well for an L82.

You are correct the heads are not double hump but have a double pyramid shape which are adjacent to each other. The head # is 330545 with 2.02 intake and 1.6 exh.

This thread answers a lot of questions. An acquaintance in Santa Barbara back in the late '70s had a dark blue, 4-speed '73 Type LT with white interior that was claimed to have the L82 and Z28 wheels as original equipment. There were no Z28 emblems anywhere on it. We all just thought it was an oddball Type LT that somehow got the good motor. Now I know it was an authentic '73 Z.

[70 copo]

The guy with the black Z just requested an application to attend this year's Norwood event. I suspect We will get to see the car in detail soon enough. <<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/beers.gif

The silver 73 LT/RS/Z28 for sale in Canada is about as perfect a restoration as you would ever find. Scored very highly at Chevy/Vettefest a number of years ago. Restored by a guy named Rick Griffin in northwestern Indiana, and it was fairly well photo documented on the 2nd Gen Camaro website. Undoubtedly, one of the reasons the car isn't selling is evidenced by many of the comments in this thread....very few people understand the nuances of a 73 LT/RS/Z28. Potential buyers take a look and see no Z28 emblems, no stripes, and think it's just some made-up car.
