Wow, have I learned alot from this thread !!!

I spent many nights ay Front Street and JFK stadium in Philly back in the early 80s in my best friend´s 73 RS LT Camaro. Although we always ´knew´it had an LT-1 based on the prior owner´s statements, we never even realized it was actually a Z-28. It had no Z emblems, no stripes and no spoilers. But definitely had the factory valve covers and alum intake.
It was a 4 speed muncie car also. (I spent many days under that car replacing the clutch)I wish I had pics of it with the centerlines and N50s.
Although he never raced in Philly, that car beat a heck of a lot of local cars at the ´parkway´in Levittown, Pa.
The good old days !!!

Thanks for all the knowledge !!!!

If it had an aluminum intake, it was added afterward. The 73 Z28 was the first Z28 to come from the factory with a cast iron intake and Q-jet.

Thanks Bill....I keep learning...I wouldn´t doubt it...It definitely it had a holley also, so I guess that was not original too. I remember he had one of them round ´motion´style air cleaners at one point too. I wish we still were in contact with my friend so I could ask him about the car. I am sure he remembers better than me. I was going to college in Florida at the time, so I only got to see /ride in the car during x-mas break and the summers. But, I spent many days/nights in the cold in that car when it was not even running...while it was sitting in front of my friend´s house waiting for repairs. It was our beer drinking/partying spot...He was just a pizza delivey guy so sometimes he had to save a few weeks just to keep the car on the road.

I wish I had some pics...

Wow...cool pics....that looks just like my friends car..minus the spoliers and emblems....and he had SST cragars in the rear and not the SS cragars,(I think I said he had centerlines in the prior thread) I remember going to a speed shop in Langhorne and buying the rims with him...I think it was called Banons?? but he had the same wide tires..do you remember what size tires they are?? ...my friends car was red, but almost an orangey..your car looks more orange than I remember his car...is that orange..or red??

Cool car and cooler pics !!!

If you are talking about my 73Z that I just posted pics of, it is red and those are 10&quot; cragars on the back and I am guessing I had Mickey Thompson N50's on them.

I just wish I had some pics!!!
