My car originally was exactly like this car's color and options 73 Type LT RS 350 except the vinyl top and interior were white vs black. If mine was in the shape this one was, I would have never modified it, since it had extensive rust and was in need of basically everything I didn't feel bad changing it from the factory configuration.

Why put a belt instead of a chain?

[@HunterRitchie]

Less engine harmonics and stress on the camshaft. On an engine that's gonna see mostly street use or occasional drag strip use would be fine with a chain. But an engine that's gonna live at higher rpm for extended periods of time benefits from the belt, for longevity. Not to mention it's easier to set and adjust camshaft timing.

I think the hood is ugly and the wheels are hideous. But that's subjective - my personal taste. What's not subjective is the horrible crime they committed by butchering such a well preserved survivor car. While I wouldn't have optioned a 1973 Camaro in that color or that vinyl roof, you have to honor that car and the people who no doubt spent a lot of time, money, and effort (and maybe love) keeping that thing together in that shape. If I was the guy selling it to them and I knew this was what they had in mind, I'd probably have to see an extra zero added to the selling price before I could part with it. And maybe not even then.
