Details

Matching numbers with the 'U' VIN code 5th digit designating the 396 option. Paint Code '26' Mulsanne Blue. This was an un-restored original paint vehicle when purchased in 2005. A complete nut and bolt restoration just completed on an original rust-free Northwest vehicle. It has the original engine, transmission, rear end, carburetor and all original sheet metal throughout entire vehicle. The floor pan has not been repainted but cleaned, as its condition was quite good and a decision to keep factory overspray patterns underneath the vehicle intact. Correctly detailed throughout, dated coded hose clamps, date coded plug wires, correct Delco battery, emissions system intact, all new fuel and brake lines, new fuel tank, rebuilt suspension components, new exhaust system and much more. The engine was professionally rebuilt by Bearing Service Company of Portland. The engine VIN tab is untouched and intact with several photos taken to document such. An original matching number 396, of which only 970 were built in 1972, is also the last year available in a Camaro. Also, none were certified to be sold in California because of emission regulations at the time. 1972 was also the lowest production year for a Camaro. A complete detailed restoration album with extensive photo documentation of all restoration work is included. This rare vehicle, with an original matching number engine and drivetrain, will make an exceptional addition to anyone's collection of 2nd generation Camaros.
