Nice find! Everyone loves the split bumpers, and that's one's the real McCoy!

Yours?

I really dig those years except for the 3 piece spoiler. I used the less common low rise,one piece one on my 78.

I get more thumbs up in the Camaro than the 911.
Just feels patriotic driving a muscle type car.
Keeping mine mostly stock, Yellow 70 Z28 RS.
The rock crusher trans with a factory 4.11 is a hoot to drive.
Just needs a gear vendor overdrive so its a 3.20 final drive on the freeway.
Still fine tuning mine...
Just added a restrictor to the pressure side on the power steering to increase the steering feel.
There is an easy seat mount mod to add 2 or 3 inches of leg room if needed.
Been here already?

The one on the top is a split bumper and the other (on the bottom) is a pretend because it has the park lights under the bumpers, making it a non split bumper car. Right?

Not mine, belongs to a close friend who collects these Camaros and Firebirds (has the Jerry Titus racecar tribute) and about a dozen or more of this type. Has Porsches too! I work with him, a good guy.

Here's my 1971 circa 1978. 4 speed with a "warmed over" 350. Sleeper looks with the hub caps. Never took it to the strip but sure embarrassed lots of Mustangs and A body GM's in my neck of the woods. Probably a low to mid13's car.
