134246 / 1972 Chevrolet Camaro Z/28 RS

By 1972, America was well into the Apollo program and taking steps towards the launch of Skylab. It was an exiting time for space travel, where possibilities seemed nearly limitless. Despite a presumably heavy work load, a NASA engineer found time to order a 1972 Camaro Z28 RS from Joe Clayton Chevrolet in Arab, Alabama. Today, that documented numbers-matching two-owner F-body is a prime example of what makes second generations great.
B-Mac's Restoration in Raleigh, NC handled the rebuild, completing work in 2012. The car wears its original color scheme -- Code 75 Cranberry Red with black YF8 stripes. The paintwork presents well and. underneath the top coat, the sheet metal remains largely original and straight from every angle. Pieces like the flat hood, Z28 badges, and D80 rear spoiler help create one of the most aggressive second gen looks.
Despite over 107k miles of traveling, this Z28 features its original LT1 350. A quick look at the engine ID reveals it was bolted together in Flint, Michigan (V) on March 6th (0306) while the CKS suffix code verifies it was built for a 4-speed Z28. A matching partial VIN is the final argument for the engine's authenticity. The engine is topped with original pieces like a correct 780 CFM Holley carburetor, Winters intake, and air injection system.
Put this F-body on a lift to find a rock solid undercarriage full of correct and original hardware. In the center, the LT1 is mated with its original Muncie M21 four-speed manual transmission. Power flows back to a GM 10-bolt rear end equipped with Posi and 3.73 gears which were standard with the Z28 package. Power steering and power disc brakes complement the stock Z28 suspension system while styled steel wheels in BF Goodrich Radial T/A tires fill in the wheel wells.
Inside the Camaro, a GM Code 775 standard black interior offers only what's necessary. You'll find bucket seats, a 130mph speedometer, a correct 8k tachometer, an AM radio, and little else. While the options list may be short, the cabin shows as new and remains a great place to spend time.
With its awesome NASA history, two owners, and nearly endless list of correct and original parts, it's hard to think of a cooler second generation Camaro to own than this 1972 Z28 RS. It's been driven, cared for, and restored exactly how most of would want to see and it remains a great collector piece that you can enjoy for years to come as the value curve continues to climb.

Nice ride

[@kaybee0575]

Nope, this was the Rally Sport (RS) option available from 1970 thru 1973...in 1974 GM had to put on the BIG bumpers to meet federal crash regulations.

[@falcondriver100]

No they aren't. 70' seats were thinner with an adjustable headrest. 1971 on, they were the highback seats you see here. I've been educated that this car IS original though. I didn't think they made the split bumpers after 1970 but they did on the RS models...........

[@yvettemuller1982]

A real American Muscle Car! LOL....not a toyota______. ;\

[@falcondriver100]

I thought only 1970 Z-28's had split bumper front ends?? But those seats are definitely not 1970 seats.

[@sladeballz9349]

Incorrect. The RS package included the split bumpers and urethane nose cone

[@falcondriver100]

Interesting. I always though they were only offered on 1970 cars... Thanks.

[@AF93510]

the split bumper was included with the rs package, available from 1970-1973
