1972 Chevrolet Camaro Preview summaryImage

1972 was not the best of years for Chevrolet and its pony car. The 1972 Chevrolet Camaro suffered a few setbacks as the result of a 174-day strike at a plant in Ohio where the Camaros were built. In addition, approximately 1100 Camaros had to be junked when they did not achieve the 1972 Federal Bumper Standards. The entire model was almost scrapped along with the 1100 useless cars.

However, Camaro did make a big comeback by the end of the year, rolling 68,656 Camaros out of its plant. Of these cars, 6,562 were SS's, and represented the last of their kind. There would be no more Camaro SS's produced by Chevy.

1972 Camaro Rally Sport, A true Rally Sport car, originally in what could be described as "cream yellow". Originally this car was equipped with a 350sbc, t-10 4spd. combination. Modified 350sbc, making approx. 350-400hp "three-in-the-tree" style TH350 auto.-transmission with a mild shift-kit installed. Posi-traction rear-end. 12in. wide rear radials on '69 Chevelle Rally wheels. Drum brakes in the rear, disc brakes up front, stopping power is increased by a 12 inch hydraulic brake booster. Painted in 1970 Camaro lime-green. This car is a blast to drive. The shift kit causes the transmission to kick in rather suddenly. There is a moment after stomping on the gas where it seems like nothing is happening, but then everything hooks up, the transmission drops into gear, and you fly. It holds 18 gallons, giving me moderate range. It can make a 4-6+ hour drive on one tank of gas. From the A-pillars forward is all new paint, from the A-pillars back is mostly the last paint job. Entire underside was painted in anti-rust black protective coating. This car has been in one accident, requiring new right-front quarter panel and new front valences. Still has original chrome bumpers with small dent front the accident.Sep 08, 2010
