Presenting the Extraordinary 1973 Chevrolet Camaro with a 383ci Stroker V8 and 5-Speed Transmission
Step into the world of classic American muscle with this 1973 Chevrolet Camaro. Acquired by the seller in May 2016, this iconic car underwent a comprehensive refurbishment and modification process later that same year, making it a true masterpiece of automotive engineering.
Under the hood lies a powerhouse – a Blueprint Engines 383ci stroker V8. This engine was carefully assembled with the best components, including ported cylinder heads with stainless-steel valves, an Eagle forged crankshaft and connecting rods, Keith Black pistons and rings, a COMP Cams camshaft, an Edelbrock Performer intake manifold, and a March serpentine belt drive. The result? A V8 that roars to life with a level of power and performance that’s truly exceptional.
To make the most of that power, a Tremec TKO600 five-speed manual transmission was installed, giving this Camaro an exhilarating driving experience. The rear axle houses
an Eaton limited-slip differential and Moser 31-spline axles, ensuring that power is efficiently delivered to the rear wheels.
The exterior of this Camaro is a sight to behold, finished in a striking orange with white racing stripes. Details like front and rear spoilers, chrome bumpers, a cowl-induction hood, and tinted windows contribute to its aggressive appearance. The Fesler Built taillights are a standout feature, completing the car’s distinctive look.
Rolling on chrome 18″ five-spoke wheels shod with Nitto NT555 tires, this Camaro’s stance is nothing short of impressive. The suspension has been meticulously upgraded with Hotchkis components, including tubular front control arms, front and rear sway bars, subframe connectors, and lowered leaf springs. Add in front coilover shocks and Wilwood power-assisted four-wheel disc brakes with drilled and slotted rotors, and you have a car that handles like a dream.
Inside the cabin, you’ll find SCAT front bucket seats and a contoured rear bench upholstered in luxurious black leather. The interior is filled with premium touches, including Z28-logo floor mats, billet alloy door sill protectors, a Hurst T-handle shifter, and a RetroSound AM/FM/Bluetooth stereo wired to four Kicker component speakers. The leather-wrapped Lecarra steering wheel fronts AutoMeter Phantom instrumentation, including a 160-mph speedometer, a 10k-rpm tachometer, and auxiliary gauges.
Under the hood, the attention to detail continues, with the engine bay painted in the stunning PPG shade of Storm Gray. A FiTech electronic fuel injection system ensures optimal performance and efficiency. The Optima red top battery is neatly mounted in the trunk.
This 1973 Chevrolet Camaro is a true automotive work of art, combining raw power, modern upgrades, and stunning aesthetics. It’s not just a car; it’s a statement. Don’t miss the chance to own a piece of American muscle car history that will turn heads wherever you go. This Camaro comes with a build summary, door sill protectors, and a clean Florida title in the seller’s name.
In summary, this Camaro represents the pinnacle of classic American muscle, blending style, power, and precision in a way that few cars can match. With its impeccable craftsmanship and breathtaking performance, it’s a testament to the enduring allure of the Camaro brand.
