1973 Camaro Specifications<\/h2>

\"1973<\/p>

\u00a0<\/div>

1973 appeared promising for the Camaro despite the previous year’s problems and continued turmoil from Federal regulations.<\/h1>

Sales slightly increased from the previous year due to Chevy’s engineering of the Camaro’s bumper. While the rest of the industry was installing battering ram-style bumpers on their cars, Chevy was able to engineer bumpers that would pass Federal regulations including the Rally Sport split bumper design.<\/h3>

The 1973 Camaro saw a nicer interior and the SuperSport option was no longer offered. The \u00a0SuperSport option was replaced with the Stylish Type LT model. The Type LT model was added as a luxury package and included a V8 (L65) and several trim items. The Camaro LT could have been ordered with RPO code Z28, and if the Rally Sport option was also ordered, you could have yourself a Type LT\/RS\/Z28 Camaro.<\/p>

While the Z28 was still being cut down power-wise, air conditioning was available for the 1st time on the Z28. Fans were also sadly disappointed to find out that the 396 big-block V8 was no longer available. Despite all the drops in performance, production was up for the 1973 Camaro!<\/p>
