1972 Chevrolet Camaro Z/28 RS [real-deal Z-car] for sale

This 1972 Chevrolet Camaro Z/28 is a real-deal Z-car

You also have a performance small block, four-on-the-floor, and a cool Rally Sport front end.

Silver is a great color with a timeless look, and the trim tag tells us this one was born this color. In fact, it also lets us know that some of the coolest features are also factory-correct. For example, black goes terrific with silver, and both the painted black racing stripes and black vinyl roof are cool factory pieces. And there’s even more blackout with the upgraded split-bumper RS front end. The whole package has a true power car look with the three-piece rear spoiler, front chin spoiler, and upgraded Torq Thrust wheels with an extra meaty rear set.

The exterior black is a great intro to the black carpets, door panels, dash, and bucket seats that await inside. And there are nice details, like comfy cloth inserts and working dome light. And it feels like a proper driver’s package with the classic dual-spoke steering wheel giving you a clear view of the full gauge package – including large speedo and tach. Plus, the floor shifter is a sturdy Hurst unit.

Under the hood is an updated 350 cubic-inch V8. It now includes an Edelbrock four-barrel carburetor, a GM Winters intake, and long tube headers that add power and rumble to the dual exhaust. There are also good supporting components for a good driver’s car, including an HEI distributor and a newer gas tank. You have complete control over this powerful motor thanks to the four-speed manual transmission and Positraction rear end. This coupe also has all the right driving features such as power steering, power brakes with discs up front, sway bars front & rear, and a nice tread on the wide Cooper Cobra tires.

This is the kind of coupe where you’ll see it could use some extra love in some places. So you may give it a respray or update the interior features. But those are the kinds of things that you can take your time with and decide when you feel like it. That’s because from day one, you have a cool real-deal Z/28 with a powerful heart and a four-speed. So it makes for an irresistible driver that you know you just want to use to break in some fresh asphalt.
