No, Interior is getting Black Leather Corbeaus, Suspension will be Coilovers with a Torque Arm, Wheels will be Minilites, Motor will either be a Ls3 or a 383 Stroker
Very nice!
I'm just about ready to fire up my 70 LS conversion Camaro. Car was a original big block 4speed car.
Been meaning to talk to you about a Torque arm suspension. I see you posting on Lateral-g and pro touring.com

I love the '73 Camaro! 
Here's how a friend of mine builds his '74.

(Warning, this is a pretty epic build...read at your own risk)

Neat...neighbor had a 71.5 with SBC and 4 speed.
There is super clean silver 71 running around here all g-lateral'd out with huge 3 piece wheels and a turbocharged motor and T56

Nice project & build you propose there TC!
maybe you could eliminate the driveshaft & put the engine in the back seat with a 928 transaxle, & create a new kind of middie!?
I remember that my uncle thought I was crazy to have paid as much for my used 73 914-2.0 - as a used `73 Camaro or Vette! .... until he drove in the 914, that is!
Personally I prefer the 67-69 Camaros, but yours is nice too!
Good Luck!

They make one dressed out with EFI too.
I have a bead on a Ls3, 6 speed & all electronics out of a '14 Camaro with under 20,000 miles for a really good deal
Working on my LS/6spd camaro now. Just about ready to start it up. Pictures are from when I removed the stock 396 engine.

I'm buying the Ls3/TR6060 Tomorrow
Is it a real Z? If so, do you not worry about resale?
My first car was a '73 LT-1 that I bought when I was 15. Did a Wheeler Dealer level restoration on it and loved it until I came across a fixer upper '76 BMW 320i that I had to have because I was a budding yuppy. Sold the Camaro, bought the BMW and ended up driving my Dad's old Pinto because the 320 was always broken and I had to choose between fixing the car and paying tuition. I would give your left nut to have that Camaro back!

Got a 73 Chevy with a 383, Fuelie heads with a Hurst on the floor.

They will be available soon!
Just my opinion,
Those wheels look cheap and wrong.

They look horrible, but they are super expensive Bonspeeds. I'm getting Superlites!
Oh noooooo! That sucks. I hope they take care of it.
Did you end up getting this one out of Sacramento? I like 67-73 camaro's, I sold my 71 chevelle a few years ago. If I get another muscle car it'd be a 71-73 camaro.
Are the Hotchkis suspension kits good at all?

Yes, it came from Sacramento.
Hotchkis is OK - more expensive than what I sell for the same product

Well keep us posted, are you tracking this build on another forum?
Curious, do you know how the handling on this will compare to a 914 once completed with your upgrades?

Yes, I have a Build Thread on 2 Camaro Forums (NastyZ & Team Camaro) I will update this Thread with major goings on.
Comparing this to a 914 is Apples to Oranges. But should be interesting. The Camaro will have about 550hp vs my 125 hp 914 2.0. The Torque Arm, TruTrac Rearend, Full Coilovers should make it handle nice but a nicely set-up 914 is the perfect handling car.

Nice wheels!
If my chevelle handled like your camaro will I probably would have kept it. I hope to build one of these someday.
