The second generation Camaro started as a 1970 model series; it then stayed in production for an astounding 12 years, an eternity by Detroit standards. The Camaro Z28, in period, was soon known as, and was referred to as simply “the Z.” It was a Chevrolet factory platform designed for those who commanded a higher level of performance.

The first generation Camaros have ageless styling and will likely always be the most sought-after, but it is widely acknowledged that the second generation Camaro was considered a significant improvement. Build-quality, acceleration, handling and interior refinement improved on all around. The second generation of the Chevy Camaro is regarded as much more mature and refined when compared to its predecessor.

This desirable 1973 Z28 example features the well-respected 350-cid V-8 engine that is mated to a console-mounted, manual four-speed shifter. The Z28 came standard with a Posi-traction rear end. Other elements include power steering and brakes and air conditioning.

1973 was also the first year that air conditioning could be had on a Z28. With front and rear spoilers, Z28-specific factory wheels, dual sport mirrors with driver’s side remote, Z28-specific stripes and badging and dual exhaust, this green-toned Camaro is a very special prize to be won by the most diligent Chevrolet collector.
