1972 Chevrolet Camaro RS 'look-alike' Standard Additional Info:
1972 CLASSIC CHEVY CAMAROVERY NICE DAILY DRIVERALMOST $16,000 INVESTED
I BOUGHT THIS CAR 4 YEARS AGO FROM AN AIRMEN BEING TRANSFERRED TO TOKYO. HE WAS USING IT AS A DAILY DRIVER. HE BOUGHT IT AS A FRESH RESTORATION IN THE EARLY 2000'S. THE CAR IS ORIGINALLY FROM THE MID-WEST. SINCE I PURCHASED THE CAR I HAVE INVESTED MANY THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS INTO THE MECHANICAL AND INTERIOR. I'M GETTING MARRIED SOON, AND I DON'T HAVE THE TIME TO COMPLETE RESTORATION.
FROM THE SHORTY BUMPERS TO THE DIFFERENTIAL MOST MECHANICAL ITEMS ARE NEW OR RESTORED. "RUNNING GEARS" ARE ABOUT PERFECT. WHAT FOLLOWS IS A PARTIAL LIST OF WHAT'S BEEN DONE.
MECHANICAL:
- MAYBE 200 MILES ON A NEW(NOT REBUILT)LONG-BLOCK 350 CID ENGINE (290HP STREET PERFORMANCE) 4_BOLT MAIN
- EDELBROCK HIGH-RISE MANIFOLD
- EDELBROCK 650 4-BARREL
- HEDMAN HEADERS
- TRUE DUAL EXHAUST
- ELECTRONIC IGNITION
- NEW RADIATOR
- REBUILT 2.75 STEERING BOX
- FRONT END BUSHINGS REPLACED

- 3.08 DIFFERENTIAL REBUILT
- NEW FRONT TIRES
- NEW HEATER CORE
INTERIOR:
- VERY NICE INTERIOR!
- NEW CARPET WITH MASS BACKING
- DYNAMAT UNDERLAYMENT FOR SOUND AND HEAT INSULATION
- NO CRACKS IN THE DASH
- PERFECT HEADLINER AND SUN VISORS
- SEATS ARE IN VERY NICE CONDITION (NEEDS A FEW TUFT BUTTONS, BUT OTHERWISE PERFECT)
- RS DASH GAUGES INSTALLED (NO IDIOT LIGHTS)
- B&M FLOOR RATCHET SHIFTER (I HAVE STAPLE SHIFTER AND CONSOLE FOR SALE SEPARATELY IF YOU ARE INTERESTED)
- DOOR PANELS A LITTLE BEAT UP, BUT FULLY FUNCTIONAL, PASSENGER SIDE ARMREST PAD MISSING
- NEW DOOR AND TRUNK SEALS INCLUDED
(BY THE WAY, MY FIANCE SAYS THE MOTOR SOUNDS FREAKING AWESOME!)
IF I WERE KEEPING THIS CAR, I WOULD SWAP FOR A 3.52 DIFFERENTIAL TO WAKE IT UP A LITTLE. WITH THE 3.08 REARS THE MILEAGE IS ACTUALLY QUITE DECENT, BUT IT DOESN'T JUMP OFF THE LINE. AS IT IS, IT MAKES A NICE DEPENDABLE DAILY DRIVER.
THE ORIGINAL HOOD COMES WITH THE CAR. I DIDN'T CARE FOR THE HOOD SCOOP SO I PUT A NEW 2.75" COWL HOOD ON. NEEDS PAINT.
I HAVE A STAPLE SHIFTER AND EXCELLENT CONSOLE. IT DOES NOT COME WITH THE CAR BUT I WILL SELL IT SEPARATELY.
THE PREVIOUS DESCRIPTION IS DONE TO THE BEST OF MY ABILITY. THE CAR IS 44 YEARS OLD SO.... I'M SURE I HAVE FORGOTTEN SOMETHING. SEND ANY QUESTIONS YOU HAVE AND I WILL ANSWER TO THE BEST OF MY ABILITY.
YOU ARE RESPONSIBLE FOR SHIPPING OR PICK-UP FROM CLEVELAND, TN (JUST NORTH OF CHATTANOOGA). VERY DRIVABLE CAR. I WOULDN'T HESITATE TO DRIVE IT ANYWHERE.
ADVERTISED LOCALLY SO THE LISTING WILL BE CANCELLED IF SOLD.
