Bill, Trying to learn....but where are the Z28 emblems? I thought 1973 had foil Z28 emblems on the spoiler in back...and metal emblems on the front fenders and grill area?

I think because it is an LT model there were no Z28 emblems.

Were the hell are the original rims and tires [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/hmmm.gif[/img] for that price they can throw the rims and tires currently on the car in the trash.
Looks like the car sits to high as well.

Correct, the LT option changed the badging. Super Stock &amp; Drag Illustrated did a road test on a similar car with the LT/Z/28 options.

LT badged Z28's, goofy but true for '73.
Love the black - - paint!
Seems expensive especially presented w/ wrong wheels etc but wow on the mileage!

The Type LT trumped the Z28 badges for 1973 ... it was a stealth car when it was new

The only external giveaways would have been the OEM 5 spoke 15&quot; wheels, dual tail pipes &amp; rear sway bar (plus the &quot;sound&quot; of a forged piston small block)

The spoilers were an option as well ... no stripes, no Z28 emblems ... [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/smile.gif[/img]

(yeah, I owned a few of them over the years)

----I had the 73 Z twin to this Z in late 74 or so. It started life green as the original owner ordered. Dealer told him he couldnt order black. I guess he just never checked deep enough about --. He had the dealer paint the green Z black before delivery. This Z has possibly the worst tire and wheel combo a guy could pick on a 73 Z. I mean,,,,really??? I know, I know,,,its subjective, but come on. Oh,,,And I am not a Crager hater!......Bill S

150K and no engine photos? Super cool car with neat options and low mileage but I would expect original wheels and tires and a 4 speed.

Neat car . . . . but for that kind of money I'd rather have a Super Duty '73 'Bird.
