Still have my original 73 LTRS Z28. 4speed,muncie M21, same dark red color. It now has 58000 miles. Engine and tyranny have never been apart. Ran 14.46 in Sept 1973 @98.8 mph with the original Firestone wide ovals. As they say the engine internals, cam, etc. is identical to the 350hp engine from 69. The lower compression drops the gross hp to about 325.This engine is still very stout. Bought for $5100 in July 73.Appraised at 56K in 2012.

It's got an L82 in it. Same engine as was in my 1974 Z28. Still has 4 bolt mains and all forged like the LT1. Just a different intake and carb and cam. Basically a de-tuned LT1. But it is different that a 1969 350.

Me, too, so I bought one. Spring 1970, Z/28. Hugger Orange. 14.1 quarter mile, with a lot of wheelspin at the start. At 100 mph, on an empty North Florida Interstate, it drove as smooth as a Cadillac.

Wow!!! My dad bought almost the exact same car at the beginning of that model year! I just turned 13! We lived in Westlake, Ohio wealthy suburb of Cleveland. My dad was a diehard Dodge man who won MANY amateur drag races! Over 40 tall trophies! We had the 440 coronet 440 R/T, Dart 340! And first Challenger!! But I was into F1 car racing, studying European cars and preferred ROAD racing! He asked me to choose our car that year! He was also a top Automotive market analyst for Wallstreet and got to talk with all the top Auto execs! He found out exactly what you said and told me about this car coming! So we went for a test drive and LOVED it!! Definitely a top handling American car! Very neutral!! His favorite color was always maroon! And he ordered the black stripes as well! We specifically wanted the full front bumper version! We had headers put on with Thrush mufflers, pipes turned down before rear axle. Then we got the iconic chrome Crager Mag wheels with blackwall BF Goodrich radials! We got larger in the rear! I loved that rear spoiler too! And the downforce was very noticeable during the big Midwest rainstorms! My dad ran 13.73 quarter mile times at Dragway 42! Oh! He always raced automatics! And I could downshift it very nicely! Eventually I got my license and got to drive it to high school! I was like a rock star!! Lol. Then my dad and I took many father son drives through the great Ohio back country roads! Often going to the Mid Ohio race course! Saw all the greats in Can Am and F-5000! And I got to use it on my first big dates! Made out in the back seat with that uncomfortable hump in the middle (no pun intended lol) we had all black vinyl. And my dad insisted on no A/C and only an AM radio! We weren't supposed to focus on music while driving! He always said we can drive fast but only if we are safe! (I got my first speeding ticket in that car! 75 mph urgh) my dad eventually moved to Florida with it also! Lol. Thanks for your post!!

Glad U Still Enjoying it, I Always Helped my Cousin when he had Anything to do on his 1970 Slip Bumper when I only was in JH School, From there got my Skills & Together We Rebuild Almost the Entire Family Car in Town, Happy⭐Holidays🙏

I had a '73 RS-Z/28 with a '70 LT1 'Vette motor and trans. Automatic Same color combo. I was 19 when I bought it in 1987. My Dad had bought one new and I had to have what I remembered as a younger kid. Burying that speedometer was the thrill of my life at that time, at the cost of the love of my life.... She made me pick, so to speak... I should've picked the girl... ❤

I love the fast back rear window glass and quarter pillers also structurley stronger

Its amazing how a handful of any car you can think of still have perfect examples! Model A to chevy cavaliers and everything in between. I am a GM kid, but anything pre 1973 is awesome......

I inherited the same pristine car 20 years ago ; it being exactly the same with factory exhaust manifold. The only difference is mine was yellow with a factory Hurst shifter. Sold it back to the original owner a couple of years ago.

I have a lifelong friend in Iowa who has one very similar, same paint, 4 speed, but black interior. He's had it since 1975. The Camaro and Z28 sure went downhill after 73, although the late 2nd gen cars were good looking cars.

I like the Chevrolet Camaro/Pontiac Firebird 1970-1974 model years rear window. I do not like the 1975-1981 model years wraparound rear window. Buick and Oldsmobile were so close to getting their own versions of the 2nd generation F-Body. But GM executives quickly scrapped the plan because they felt that it would affect the sales of the Camaro and Firebird. A 2nd generation Buick or Oldsmobile F-Body would have been interesting
