Default Re: 1973 Z28 Camaro

I bought a new red '73 LT off the showroom floor ($4400US) in the fall of '72. No stripes, no spoilers, with the 5-spokes and what I believed to be the same motor as was in the Z28 backed by a TH400. I remember the salesman telling me that was how to get around paying the extra insurance for the badging. Had finned valvecovers.
A couple years later I purchased a green '73 LT with 5-spokes and it HAD spoilers AND stripes (which were painted on and they had cracked) with A/C and a Saginaw 4-speed with a posi 10-bolt. Is this what is being referred to as an LT Z28, or is it something different? Don't recall the Vin letter.
