bought a new car
I just found myself a 1973 camaro with 40k original miles with a 307 3-speed. everything on it is stock and original (except paint and seats) tell me what you think of it

Looks nice. I'd probably try to make the front end look more like a 70 though, they started getting uglier each year after that.
|
atleast ditch the push bumper lookin things!
looks sweeet |
Very nice! I agree, get rid of the push bars, and try to convert the front end a little

Nice. I dig the no spoiler look, you don't often see it.
I think guys look for the fangs. JL8 will know. Convert to what? Maybe you guys mean convert to RS (which every tom, dick & harry does), but for the most part the most is the same 70-73. 70-71 http://nastyz28.com/camaro/1970/70camsa-1b.jpg 1972, wide mesh grill and "weak" bumper. http://www.nastyz28.com/camaro/1972/72sc-side.jpg 1973, wide mesh grill and heavy bumper http://www.nastyz28.com/camaro/1973/73lt-nose.jpg http://www.nastyz28.com/faq/2gcdiff.html |
Looks pretty solid, but those seats need help! :lol: The front bumper guards are not the VF3 option, the VF3 is the bumper itself having the rubber inserts and it's a pretty rare option. I think the 70-71 grill has the smaller egg crate spacing and looks a little better, but that's a personal preference. So what are your plans for the car?
|
I prefer the tighter 70-71 grills as well.
Gotta like the column shift & no console! A real plain jane car (except AC, it appears). No engine shots? I guess 'sprot mirrors' were still an option/upgrade in 73. |
Looks awesome good luck with it
|
Nice! My 72 is pretty close to that. All it has is the RS package, but 3spd colum shifter. 307 is long gone though.
|
that thing looks sweet, definitely a fun summer cruiser
|
Nice! Looks really good!
|
yeah looks like a great cruiser. i dig those seats actually, nice find :nod:
|
very nice find! the 2nd gen camaros are starting to grow on me. i might try and trade off my 4th gen for one.

i hate the front ends on the 2nd gens but i love the rest of the car including those seats and the only thing id do to it is take off that cheesey bowtie on the back
|
Wow! Nice find! I think its great the way it is, just remove the rear window bow tie sticker. The front end is fine, and I wouldn't mod that at all except for exhaust and maybe wheels/tires. It's nice that no one messed with it.
|
Theres bad things to be said about the looks of every f-body. You should keep it original. Swapping things around will ruin the appeal for those who like things as they were.
Theyre only original once |
the car looks great
|
Great looking car. I know most everyone likes the 60s camaros, but I think the early to mid 70s Camaros are the coolest looking. I think the 70s Camaros like yours have an agressive looking rear that sits up high and shows off the big tires and the front is unusual looking in a good way.
I agree with others that the grill is lacking a little. But I like the color scheme and the seats. Real nice. I think the metal bumper would look better with a different color scheme, but it's fine as is. Man I wish I had extra money to buy a early 70s Camaro, 57 Chevy, or 59 Red Caddy. |
beautiful car! someone in my town has one like that, i was never a fan of the no spoiler, and i've always liked the 78-81 style bumper, so much infact i have one now =D but still love yours, good luck with it man!
|
i plan on keeping everything original, just needs new paint or a good buffing and it would look alot better
|
Nice
|
Pretty clean car.
|
looks good congrats
