2nd-gen Z/28 question

[RichSS2006]

I had a red 74 Z/28 back then. It was a Type LT with spoilers and the one year only stripes. No Z/28 badges anywhere. Another guy around town had a 74 Z/28 Type LT with no stripes and no spoilers. He had the small Z/28 decal near the RH tail light and two metal badges on the front fenders. His Camaro was a late production and was fitted with HEI ignition.

I am not expert on the 74 but I have heard that if you got the stripes with the LT you got no badges and no stripe got badges. I am pretty sure the giant Z28 on the stripes was enough to alert everyone you had a Z28.

Right. No badges with the stripes. Also agree with the Type LT statements. Blue Type LT horn button, wood grain dash cluster and nicer seats and door panels. Man, I miss that car!

I don't think the sticker would even fit on the RH rear panel with the LT emblem and the LT trim that was on there.

My brother's first 1973 LT Z28... still had the original paint - the wheels, Camaro script, 350 emblem and they GOT BLACK GRILLES.

Here are my two 73 Z28’s side by side. One is a Type LT Z, and the other is a Base Z28 with the optional Spoilers and stripes. Although it is hard to see because of the shadows, the base car came with bright trim along the rocker, while the Type LT had black on the lower panel and rocker with a bright trim piece separating the black from body color. Both of these cars are 90% original paint examples.

Great cars!
