“Type LT. For those who want a little more Camaro” – 1973 Chevrolet Camaro LT magazine ad headline

The ad copy continued: “L is for Luxury, T is for Touring. Type LT is for those who want a little more Camaro than the basic Sport Coupe. Yes, everything mentioned is standard equipment with Camaro Type LT.”

The LT launch advertisement went on to list the “more” stock features offered by the then-new model: “Choice of 5 luxury interiors, 3 cloth, 2 all-vinyl; variable-ratio power steering (LT insignia; 14x7 rally wheels (white stripe tires available); twin sport mirrors, driver's remote controlled; front disc brakes, finned rear drum brakes; special LT instrumentation, tachometer, ammeter, temperature gauge, electric clock; LT engine, our Turbo-Fire 350-2 V8.”

Offered here is a 1973 Chevrolet Camaro LT in red-and-black over black. This is a fully refreshed, re-powered, and upgraded California car. Its 502-cubic-inch big block V8 offers a great deal “more” in the power department than Chevrolet included as standard on the original model, or even on its available-options list. The Camaro's odometer shows 52,952 miles, or just over a very conservative 1,100 miles per-year on average since new. The outstanding condition of the car and the impressive, professional work that brought it to its one-of-a-kind level makes for a standout presentation and a compelling purchase opportunity.

The exterior red, non-metallic paint has been professionally applied and properly covers door jambs and the appropriate interior surfaces in the engine bay and trunk. The finish is uniformly glossy and free of flaws. (To best assess the quality of the paint and chrome finish, be sure to view the close-up photographs of the car in the accompanying gallery.) The black Z28-style stripes nicely emphasize the cowl-induction hood, impressive rear spoiler, and the racing-style side-mirror caps. Factory badging—including the Camaro hood emblem, “LT” emblem on the driver's side of the front grille, “Camaro” script and the added “502” front-fender badges (the latter denoting the new powerplant), “Camaro LT” emblems on the sailplane and rear fascia—is all in place. The front spoiler and lower body-side panels are black. Cabin glass and all lighting lenses are clear and free of cracks or other damage. Chrome trim is well preserved with the door handles showing some expected patina from age and use. Polished American Racing® 5-spoke, 15-inch wheels (with platinum-finish spokes) are mounted with BFGoodrich® Radial T/A 235/60, M+S-rated, raised-white-letter performance tires.

The Camaro's stock black interior retains its classic good looks and exceptionally well cared-for appearance. The textured black vinyl upholstery, on the forward-folding front buckets and rear, 2-position bench (with fabric inserts), is free of flaws or even much evidence of use. Cabin floors are covered in fresh black carpeting. The Camaro is equipped with power brakes and power steering. Door trim is a combination of soft and hard black surfaces with woodgrain trim; roll-up windows are stock. Lower door sills are free of wear. The black, 4-spoke, stock steering wheel features an original “Type LT” emblem. Full stock LT instrumentation is arrayed across the burled-woodgrain-trimmed dash (augmented with a SunPro® oil pressure gauge added below the dash), with slide-lever controls for the heating and air-conditioning, and the original factory push-button AM radio located to the right. Air-conditioning vents and a script-Camaro badge (in red) complete the dash. The shift lever for the automatic transmission and an armrest-storage compartment are located on the stock, black console.

Under the hood (supported by billet-aluminum compound hinges), the professionally built 502-cubic-inch, 4-barrel performance engine (the block properly painted Chevrolet orange) makes for a truly impressive sight. A chrome cover for the open-sided air cleaner (drawing air through the cowl-induction hood), shiny billet-aluminum engine bits, steel-braided fuel lines, polished-metal valve covers, and aluminum head all contribute to the look. Other components—including the MSD® electronic ignition, polished alternator, and shiny brake booster—add to the performance statement. All engine-bay surfaces are perfectly clean. Viewed from below, the car's chassis is similarly clean, straight, and free of damage. The performance exhaust headers, full-length dual-exhaust system—with electrically operated cut-offs for the un-muffled side-exhaust, and the 4-wheel disc brakes—are obvious focal points. Surface rust is virtually non-existent. Lower-facing painted body panels are free of scrapes or other damage.

The Camaro's original build and identification tags remain mounted, and the car's original owner's manual is included in the sale.

While the more than 145 high-definition photographs and the short walk-around-and-startup video available on the GarageKeptMotors website showcase this '73 Camaro LT in detail from every angle, including from below, we expect and encourage in-person inspections at our Grand Rapids, Michigan showroom. Please call to arrange an appointment in advance as our showroom is not open to the public. And feel free to get in touch anytime by phone or email if you have questions.

The next owner of this beautiful, powerful Camaro LT will have their choice of arriving at (or departing from) cruise nights and weekend shows accompanied by either stock "exhaust music,” or something a good bit more rock 'n' roll. Either way, on every score, the car is sure to impress.
