Great running protouring musclecar
1973 Chevrolet Camaro RS
1973 Camaro RS. Completely rust free and very clean looking car with nice interior. The exterior has good paint with minor cosmetic flaws.This car is a driver and for the driver who wants to do some canyon carving. The gearing, overdrive transmission and wide torque curve means it plays nice with others. Very comfy on the highway and in traffic.
Mileage is unknown on the car. I've put several thousand on it but I got with no working speedo. If it makes you feel better, I've rebuilt pretty much everything!

Custom AutoSound 300 watt retro stereo and Pioneer 6x9 speakersThe cars suspension and brakes are set up more for autocrossing and road racing. The chassis is very stiff because of the subframe connectors and G-Bar.All the lighting is rewired with relays so the lights get full voltage. If one ever goes out, change the relay first. I have them labeled.Everything electrical works including the cigarette lighter. I rewired the dash but didn't disturb the rest of the wiring because it's in fine shape.
I have fresh Royal Purple HPS 5-30 synthetic in the motor with some extra ZDDP to protect the cam lobes. Next oil change I'd suggest 10-40 and I'd probably go back to Valvoline VR-1. The trans and diff both have fresh Redline gear oil
I've kept all my receiptsYou'll get all of them along with a lot of spare parts I didn't use or took off including a very nice 4 season car cover - no scrap I promise!
What's good:
Runs awesome! Zero rust! Very reliable and driveable in any situation. Handles like a slot car, loves the tight and twisty curves but also has the legs for long highways drives. I built it to be very driveable and user friendly, but also be a monster when desired. Needs nothing and is ready to be a daily driver, an autocross threat, or a road course warrior. Stops on a dime. It's very comfortable for long highway drives too!
What's bad:
Has a "Salvaged" title but the car has been "Revived" and is legally back on the road after the CHP/DMV inspection. It had been abandoned and was rescued from a wrecking yard.
Has new left rear quarter panel and aftermarket front clip Carpet is a little worn
Paint is driver quality but gets lots of compliments
Why am I selling it? Good question since it's a great car and I love it but I find that I enjoy the building process the most and am looking at a new project.
