x2, with the exception that I am 100% certain that 72 was the last year for the solid lifters.

All LT1's were solid lifter, the '73 Z28 was L82 with no solid lifters.

The 73 L82 had all the other good stuff of a LT-1 including forged pistons, 2.02 heads, screw in studs, steel crank and pink rods but it had the hydraulic cam and Q-jet carb. Has anybody seen a Rally sport front end on a 73 Camaro after January 1973? I always wondered if the option was discontinued because of the increased bumper regulations.

I think the RS was available until 01-01-73. My college roommate had a RS Z28 and I never thought that was available in 1973 until years later. It was quite a bear of a car.

The RS option was available later than 1/1/73. A friend of mine factory ordered a new RS/Type LT/Z28 well after the first of the year, and got it. Unbeknownst to most folks who try to add the RS option onto a 73 Camaro after-the-fact, there are numerous special 'one year only' reinforcements on the front structure necessary to comply with the revised 1973 bumper standards.

I just sold an 06D Z28 car that had the RS option.

I drove this car across the block at Russo (I was a volunteer driver), it was one of the nicer cars there and a great survivor. A very tight, crisp car.
Good luck with the sale. Phil Woj. |
