A True Gem: 1972 Camaro Z27 SS/RS LS3 396

This 1972 Camaro stands as a rare, exceptional piece of automotive history with only 27,000 documented actual miles. A true testament to the golden era of muscle cars, this all-original SS/RS features the coveted LS3 396 cubic inch engine, making it one of the rarest Camaros of its kind. With matching numbers on the motor, transmission, and posi-traction rear end, this car showcases its authenticity and pristine condition.

Originality and Craftsmanship

This Camaro has a rock-solid Texas/New Mexico body with original panels, including red oxide floors, and has never seen rust or accidents. The car has undergone only one quality respray in its original Midnight Bronze color (paint code: 68), giving it a fresh look while retaining its vintage charm. The rest of the vehicle, from the suspension to the engine, remains original, delivering a powerful and smooth driving experience. The air conditioning works perfectly, and the Turbo 400 transmission shifts like new.

A Rare and Collectible Camaro

What sets this Camaro apart is its inclusion in the exclusive 2nd Generation Registry. The "U" in the VIN number decodes to an LS3, confirming its status as a true big block car. This is one of only 970 SS Camaros built in 1972, and of those, just 300 were produced with the RS package. Even more exclusive, only a small number of these SS/RS models carried the LS3 big block engine, making this car one of possibly only 60 to 100 in existence.

A Special Camaro from a Special Year

1972 is renowned as one of the rarest years for the Camaro due to a lengthy Chevrolet strike that halted production for 174 days. Only 68,656 Camaros were produced that year, and less than 1,000 of those were equipped with the SS package. The strike also led to the discontinuation of the SS package after 1972, marking the end of an era for big-block-powered Camaros.

The RS package on this car adds iconic cosmetic elements, including a unique front-end design with two front bumpers flanking the grille, a departure from the typical full-width bumper. Combined with the SS performance enhancements like the blacked-out grille and SS badging, this Camaro represents the perfect blend of style and muscle.

One of the Best Examples of an American Legend

This 1972 Camaro, ordered with the RS/SS combination, is a truly rare find that captures the essence of American muscle car heritage. With its unmatched authenticity, rare LS3 big block engine, and pristine condition, this Camaro is a must-have for collectors and enthusiasts alike.
