Buy with confidence …. see my 100% perfect eBay “SELLER” Feedback selling nothing but quality classic cars like this one. the ultimate “DRIVER’S” Z-28 In the world of the collectable Z-28’s …(‘67 to ‘73)… the 1973 Z-28 is, in the opinion of many people, truly the ultimate “driver’s” Z-28. Simply put, the ’73 is the pinnacle of 7 years of development and refinement on the Z28. Along with this 7 years of refinement, it is the ONLY year that you can get Air Conditioning and the ONLY year you can get the luxurious “LT” package. And this particular ‘73, is the “ultimate ‘73” ….. it wins the “triple crown” for having ALL three option packages …. First and foremost, it is a Z28, that is also a Rally Sport, and is topped off with the luxurious “LT” package. The DNA of this fantastic rare car is found in the vin #. vin # 1S87T3N167795 2nd digit “S” = a true factory “LT” 5th digit “T” = a true factory “Z-28” This is a “Norwood” car …… with full disclosure on the trim tag and vin number. There is no guesswork on this ‘73 Z28. Driveline / Originality The driveline in this car appears to be correct from the carb to the rear end. The block is the correct CLJ 4-bolt main block with correct date code and casting. The vin# is too light to read, so I am unable to call it a vin match. The carb, heads and intake also appear to be the original components. The vin# matching 4-speed tranny comes with the car but has been replaced by a Tremec 5-speed. Options, Options & more Options Options have a significant impact to value in the collector car world and this car is one of the best equipped Z-28s ever built: Rally Sport * special front end with blacked out grill wrapped in chrome trim * split bumpers and round running lights …… my favorite look ! LT luxury package 1973 was the first year for the luxurious “LT” package. The LT package included a long exhaustive list of extras, only “highlights” listed below: * deluxe seats with extra padding, comfort weave material & trim * deluxe interior door finish including wood grain accents * full instrument TACH & gauge cluster including wood grain accents * extra stainless trim on outer body * extra sound deadening insulation throughout * special LT emblems on exterior of car * special 4-spoke steering wheel with “LT” badge Z28 “performance package” * special 350/245hp V-8 shared only with the L82 Corvette * sport handling package, special suspension * Positive traction rear end * power –Disc brakes * engine dress up package * increased cooling capacity * heavy duty starter * heavy duty clutch * dual exhaust * front and rear Spoilers * 15x7 spoke wheels MORE factory Options & “upgrades”: Beyond the option “packages” listed above, this car also has the following options; - air conditioning (added upgrade using a MODERN efficient system …… the air blows COLD !!) - TILT steering column - 4-speed upgraded to TREMEC 5-speed (#’s matching 4-spd comes with the car) - rear window defrost Mega dollar build ($$$$$) Simply stunning with the WOW factor ! This was a full-blown frame off restoration. Restorations at this level cost a small fortune in cold hard cash, time and talent. This car was built with a healthy budget and the results are truly impressive. It appears that every component on this car has been replaced, restored, or otherwise improved to a show quality level. I am told this has been driven less than 2,000 miles since its completion. There is no evidence of use in terms of dings, scratches, paint chips or wear anywhere on the car including the interior. It is like going to your Chevrolet dealer and buying new off the show room floor. The odometer shows 38k but because that exact mileage since restoration is known to be less than 2000, I have listed it on eBay as having 2,000 miles. Like all vehicles this age, it will be sold as mileage exempt. Mechanical / Performance In one word, excellent! Everything mechanical on this car is new or refurbished to new and kept “substantially correct”. The TWO best upgrades available in terms of “real world” driving were added to the car: a Tremec 5-speed and modern Air Conditioning. The original vin matching 4-speed comes with the car should the buyer want it. Please take time to watch the “test drive” VIDEO … this car will GET IT !! I have never seen a second Gen. Z that I would consider as an equal to this one in terms of the wow factor and the all important “experience behind the wheel”. The motor is not overbuilt (NO shaking from an oversized cam, NO running hot, NO bad habits of any kind). It is actually mild mannered and very nice to simply cruise in. It has serious “on demand” power, steers with the palm of one hand and stops with absolute confidence. The ’73 Z-28 350 motor was shared with the L82 Corvette and had the proven “race ready construction” with 4-bolt main block, 2.02 heads, guide plates, pink rods, forged pistons and a steel crank. Paint & Body / STUNNING !! Treated to a brilliant “high dollar paint job” in the factory original color code 26 Dark Metallic Blue. This car will STAND OUT any where you take it. It is stunning. This car was disassembled and painted in pieces. The body was blocked to perfection and is laser straight with excellent fit and finish. The paint has that DEEP wet “highly reflective look” that only comes with the best of paint jobs. To complement the paint, all the bright work (chrome & stainless) was replaced with new and/or restored. Original sheet metal car This is a Texas car sold new at GUNN Chevrolet in San Antonio, Texas. It is rust FREE. All the sheet metal on this car appears to be original including the quarter panels, floors and trunk pan. It is virtually impossible to find a 38 year old Camaro with an original body this nice. No patch panels or Chinese reproduction junk. This alone separates this car from the vast majority. Rare This car as built (with the above options) was rare when NEW in 1973 and almost impossible to find today. Unfortunately, there are no records that tell us the number that may have been built “exactly” like this car, but my guess is that you could count them on one hand. Value / Price A Camaro Z28 / RS / LT in this condition with these options finished in this color combination to my knowledge has never come up for sale. Everyone knows it costs serious money to bring a car to this level. If you are quality oriented like me, you will see the value. “Quality” always costs more for a reason (usually many reasons) and “seasoned car folks” know that there is a BIG difference between quality and the vast majority of what you see here on eBay. This is not the kind of car that you pass on to wait for the next one. I price my cars realistically and every car I have ever listed has sold. Please note that many of my cars sell before the expiration of my listing. Even though you may not see evidence of offers being made, rest assured, I am constantly having dialogue with interested parties locally and around the world. If you are seriously interested, I recommend that you contact me as soon as possible as I ALWAYS have a number of folks “surprised & disappointed” when they lose out to a more aggressive buyer.

Terms & Conditions / & legal stuff Although my eBay experiences have been very positive, I am aware that much goes on within the eBay community that is not positive and therefore requires direct language. Do NOT make a bid or offer until you read everything below. Any bid or offer is a legal acknowledgement and agreement on your part to be bound by the Terms and Conditions put forth below and additionally specified within eBay itself. Have FUNDS ready PRIOR to bidding or making an offer. Full payment must be received within five (7) business days of the end of auction/sale unless I agree in writing to alternative terms. WIRE TRANSFER IS PREFERRED for US buyers and required for all buyers “outside” the United States. Cashier’s check, direct deposit or cash in person are acceptable but in ALL cases this vehicle and its title will NOT be released until complete payment is received and all funds have irrevocably cleared BOTH Banks. If paying by Bank Cashiers Check, I must receive a copy of any Bank Cashiers Check in ADVANCE along with your “internal bank contact information” for confirmation of your Bank Check by my Bank. Bank Cashiers checks MUST BE classified by my bank as having irrevocably cleared both Banks prior to my release of vehicle and title. Loan checks must be agreed to by me PRIOR to you making a bid or offer. Money Orders are NOT accepted. I am not a dealer, however I have an agency relationship with a Licensed Texas Dealer and all cars will be sold through this Dealer (ebuymotorZ). Texas buyers will have to pay Texas sales tax and liscense/registeration fees. Out of state buyers are responsible for taxes in their own states. This is a very nice vehicle. However, there is no such thing as a "PERFECT" vehicle...especially when dealing with vintage vehicles. This is not a new vehicle; it is decades old. Even a restored or partially restored vehicle can and will have flaws and normal wear and tear congruent to its age and/or mileage. This vehicle may have minor dings, scratches (or, other imperfections) and indications of wear and use because it has been used. This vehicle is sold AS IS - NO WARRANTY This vehicle is being sold as is, where is with no warranty, expressed or implied. It is the responsibility of the buyer and/or buyers agent to have thoroughly inspected the vehicle (prior to the end of the eBay listing), and to have satisfied themselves as to the condition and value and to bid or offer based upon that judgment solely. Arranging for an independent third-party inspection is a great way to validate a seller's claims about a vehicle's condition. There are many companies and individuals who offer such a service. These services are listed on the internet and can be found in most collector car magazine publications. Of course your personal inspection and scrutiny are suggested and most welcomed. Any and all inspections must occur PRIOR to the end of this eBay listing. The seller has made a diligent effort to accurately describe any known material defects associated with this vehicle. Additionally, the seller shall and will make every reasonable effort to disclose at the “buyer's request prior to the end of the eBay listing” any additional specific details important to the Buyer. However, any descriptions or representations from the Seller are for identification purposes only and are not to be construed as a warranty of any type. Everything stated in the description is to the best of the seller’s knowledge. The seller shall not be responsible for the correct description, authenticity, genuineness, or defects herein, and makes no warranty in connection therewith. The Seller does not expressly, or implicitly, guarantee the accuracy of the description including authenticity or genuineness of the vehicle and/or its components and assumes no responsibility for any repairs or defects regardless of any oral or written statements about the vehicle. No allowance or set aside will be made on account of any incorrectness, imperfection, defect or damage. Any dispute that may arise will be settled by arbitration in a Fort Worth, Texas or Dallas Texas location. New eBay users with zero to LOW feedback or negative feedback must make contact with me by PHONE - PRIOR to making a bid, or offer to buy. I can and will cancel bids/offers of any bidder that refuse to respond to my communication. My phone number is CLEARLY shown above towards the end of the vehicle description. I am available to answer any and all questions by phone and/or e-mail.
