Just got back from a long day but looky what I found. If the bottom is not trashed beyond repair, I hope to have this in my garage in a couple of weeks. Any have a trailer I can borrow to pick it up from Revere?

Is it a split bumper 2nd gen?

Happy_Dan · 08-31-2013, 10:02 PM

No split bumper, that was part of the RS package. This is a 73 Type LT. I rode in this car many times back on 74. My friend bought an Iroc in 86 (that he still has too) and parked this one. It's been in the garage ever since.

Wow, great find Dan! The 70-73 camaros are my favorite ones. Don't have a trailer for you to use, but if you need any help working on it, let me know, I'm all in!

Happy_Dan · 09-01-2013, 07:12 AM

I certainly will!! I expect if the undercarriage is good (check on it next weekend) then it will be mine. I figure a 2 year project since it will be part time and could use all the help I can get! Just so cool that it is THE car that got me into Camaro's so long ago and now I have a chance to put it back on the road!

Nice Dan. I have been racking my brains but I can't think of anyone with a trailer for you.

I'll keep it in mind....

Nice find!

FAIRNOT LZ1 · 09-01-2013, 07:42 AM

looks like a nice winter project!

Im in, what do you need from me. I love the early 2nd gens. I had a brand new 73 Z28.

chevy 3 · 09-01-2013, 01:09 PM

I love that gen. What a great looking ride.
The only thing I would check realy good on that gen is under the car in front of the rear tires. The frame and suspension parts in this area can rust realy bad and can make for a hard repair. Just my opinion on the sec gen.
This can be an insane car to drive and enjoy. I'd love to help if I can

If you want to have a tear down party let us know.

Cool 73 , hope its in good shape underneath
with all things considered with how long it has
sat. !!!

Hope to see a rebuild thread for it
in the near future

Happy_Dan · 09-01-2013, 05:19 PM

Thanks all! I will certainly call on you all for help if it happens. The front of the rear wheels and the whole body underneath is EXACTLY what I am concerned with and what I am going to look at next Saturday. Everything else I can deal with but if that frame stuff is bad, I will not tackle it.
I do need a trailer though. I have a couple of people to ask. But I will wait to see if it's worth the trip!
