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.

Very nice! I agree, get rid of the push bars, and try to convert the front end a little

RPO VF3 is actually pretty rare. I'd keep them but get rid of the bowtie in the rear window and get a real exhaust on it first.

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

Looks pretty solid, but those seats need help!  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.

Nice! My 72 is pretty close to that. All it has is the RS package, but 3spd colum shifter. 307 is long gone though.

Um yeah as stated there all basically the same other than subtile diffrences. Unless you mean split bumper which is the RS package which was avilable on all 70-73's...ditch the bumper gaurds at least they look like teeth...also second gens FTW

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

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.
