2nd-gen Z/28 question
 

Were spoilers optional? I'm thinking of 1973 in particular but I figure this may be an interesting question for all of the pre-bumper years (1970-73).

In 1972 and 1973, spoilers were optional, some form of spoiler was standard in 70-71

1972 brochure, note "available" ...not standard.

1973 brochure, note "You can also order..."

I had a 1973 a low option all original Z/28 with 1800 miles on it when I bought it in the early 80s. It had no spoilers, no gauges and no stripes.

Wow, Stealthy! So non-RS and non-Type LT as well? Just Z ?

1970 short rear spoiler standard, no front spoiler
1970 COPO 9796 tall rear spoiler, front spoiler available after April (or May, a bit fuzzy here) 70
1971 short spoiler standard. D80 RPO was tall rear spoiler, front spoiler
1972 short spoiler was gone. Large spoiler was optional D80
1973 same as 72.

Thanks to all!

I thought stripes were included except for Type LT cars.

Nope, stripes were optional as well on 73 sport coupe Z28s. 73 Type LT Z28s had no option for stripes and you could not get them from the factory.
