Re: 1972 Camaro WIW?
I'm no expert, but this is my 2 cents(off the top of my head). 72 was a strike year for the Camaro plant I believe. I dont know production numbers, but there were less Z's made that year than the other 2nd Gen cars. I believe the cowl tag may show the SS option as an engine code...like LS3..of it is a Big-block car. I believe that was the last year of the big-blocks in the Camaro. Also they were hit hard with the smog controls by then. The small block cars were well under 300 HP...
As far as value?? It depends on condition and originality/color, options, etc. But I believe they are stilll a very good investment at the prices they are if not just because the 1st Gen cars are alot more expensive. I'd say an excellent original sm. block 72 RS-SS car could be had for 20k. Maybe I am out of touch...I am sure there are more experts here that can chime in....but I hope that helps....max
