This 1973 Chevrolet Camaro Z/28 was sold new by Rudy Haupt’s Hallman Chevrolet of Johnstown, Pennsylvania in January 1973 and was purchased by the seller out of Massachusetts in June 1998. The car was given a refurbishment under prior ownership, with work said to have included an exterior color change and replacements of the powertrain. Equipped with a Muncie four-speed manual transmission and a Positraction rear end, the car features a 350ci V8 crate engine that was installed in July 2020, and additional updates by the seller include 17″ wheels, adjustable front coilovers, and a CD player. This Camaro is offered with removed parts, a set of factory wheels, 1973 warranty paperwork, a build sheet, and transferable New Hampshire registration in the seller’s name.
The car was finished in Green Gold Poly (46) from the factory, and it was repainted in its current red while under previous ownership according to the seller. Features include front and rear spoilers, dual side mirrors, and black stripes running down the center of the body. A pair of convex dings in the hood are shown further in the photo gallery below, and other blemishes noted by the seller include thinning of the red finish on the doors and corrosion at the bottom of the quarter panels and on the trunk floor.
American Racing Torq Thrust wheels feature a polished finish and wear 17″ BFGoodrich g-Force Sport tires measuring 245/45. Suspension updates performed in 2016 by the seller are said to have included adjustable coilover shocks up front, a pair of Ridetech shocks and heavy-duty shackles at the rear, and replacements for the upper and lower control arms, subframe connectors, and rear sway bar. Disc brakes are fitted up front. A set of stock Rallye wheels and the removed suspension components are included in the sale.
Black vinyl and gray cloth upholstery covers the front bucket and rear bench seats. Additions include replacement front seatbelts and a Grant three-spoke steering wheel as well as an Alpine CD player linked to a pair of speakers under the dash and a pair of JBL speakers mounted on the rear deck.
The five-digit odometer shows just under 15k miles, and the seller has added more than 14k miles in 22 years; actual mileage is unknown. The seller notes that the heater is inoperative.
The BluePrint Engines 350ci V8 crate engine (part number BP3501CTC1) was installed in July 2020 by the seller. A June 2020 dyno sheet from BluePrint Engines is provided in the gallery and shows peak output of 388 horsepower and 405 lb-ft of torque. Additional work at that time included replacing the water pump, starter, flywheel, clutch pilot bearing, lower radiator hose, and gaskets for the exhaust header and fuel pump. Prior maintenance by the seller is said to have included a replacement clutch kit, clutch disc, pressure plate, throw out bearing, pilot bearing, and clutch fork fitted in 2016, and a battery replacement in 2018.
A Muncie M21 four-speed manual transmission installed by a previous owner is linked to a Positraction rear end equipped with 3.73:1 gearing. Corrosion is evident on the underside, additional photos of which are provided in the gallery.
The build sheet confirms the Z28 performance package and shows the original paint and trim colors.
