About “Black Betty”
In 1973 the Type LT replaced the SS option and added many new options to the Camaro line, such as factory A/C for the first time and power windows for the first time in the second gen production line. I've owned this for a few years and done some myself, with friends and paid for the rest. I try to maintain a stock look, and do a few shows from time to time. In August I will run it down the track a time or two and get my 0-60, and 1/4 mile times.
If you can provide documentation on how many LT Z28 RS optioned Camaros were produced in 1973 I would like to hear from you.
About “#Baby II”
My dad bought this little car for my Nana (his mom) and she loves this car a lot. Then my Uncle Don bought it and let his now ex wife drive the car and she wasn't very nice to it. My dad bought the car back when Uncel Don told him there was something wrong with the motor. My dad bought another motor but he never put it in because he had work, brandings, kids and other vehicles taking up his time. My first sister had the car for a while until she bought a 1973 Mach 1 and I got the car. I helped her sand her mustang and I changed the tires on the Mustang II by myself. I still have to change the motor in it before it can be driveable again.
