Description:

For sale is a 1973 Chevrolet Camaro Z28 Tribute, a striking muscle car that perfectly captures the performance and style of the legendary Z28. This garage-kept beauty is a head-turner with its Rally Red exterior, black Z28 stripes, and a 350ci V8 engine that provides an exhilarating driving experience.

The Z28 tribute features period-correct styling, including a cowl induction hood, front air dam, Z28 badges, and 15-inch American Racing Torque Thrust wheels. The black racing stripes are painted (not decals) and run across the hood, trunk lid, and rear spoiler, completing the iconic Z28 look. The car sits with a slightly raked attitude, adding to its aggressive stance. While the paint is in good condition, there are some imperfections such as minor bubbling, previous touch-ups, and a few rust spots—common for cars of this age.

Interior:
Inside, the black vinyl bucket seats are in excellent condition with a nice sheen, complementing the black vinyl door panels and black loop-style carpet. The interior has been updated with modern amenities, such as a brushed aluminum dash panel housing AutoMeter white-faced gauges. An AM/FM/CD radio provides entertainment, and the Hurst floor-mounted shifter adds to the car’s classic appeal. The interior also features a stitched black headliner and Z28-branded rubber mats.

Drivetrain:
Under the hood, you’ll find a period-correct 350ci V8 engine, equipped with a 4-barrel Holley carburetor and an Edelbrock Performer intake manifold. Power is sent through a Saginaw 4-speed manual transmission to a 10-bolt rear axle with 3.08 gears. The car is equipped with power disc brakes up front and power drum brakes in the rear. The engine bay is clean and polished, with coated headers and a dual exhaust system that produces a satisfying rumble.

Undercarriage:
The undercarriage is relatively clean with typical surface rust on some parts and minor fluid on the transmission belly. There’s light rust and flaking on the frame rails, but nothing that affects the structural integrity. The suspension features coil springs in the front and leaf springs in the rear. Dry bushings are noted, which is an easy fix.

Drive-Ability:
This Camaro drives smoothly, with the 350ci V8 engine delivering solid acceleration and good handling. The slightly staggered tires improve grip, and the brakes, electronics, and all other functions work as they should. The only issue noted is the reverse lights not illuminating.

This 1973 Chevrolet Camaro Z28 Tribute is the perfect car for anyone who wants the looks and spirit of the iconic Z28 without the price tag of an original. It offers a fantastic balance of classic style, muscle car performance, and modern amenities. Whether you’re cruising the streets or showing it off at car meets, this Camaro is sure to impress.
