Dressed in a striking blue with deep-dish Torq-style wheels, this 73 Camaro RS is the definition of California muscle brought to New Zealand streets. With its aggressive stance, rear deck spoiler, and drag-inspired set-up, this is a car that turns heads before you even fire it up.

Under the hood sits a fully built 383 stroker with alloy heads, topped with a massive blower supercharger and twin 650 Demon carburetors. With well over $30,000 invested in engine work alone, this powerplant is an absolute monster. Backing it up is a purpose-built T50 transmission designed to handle every ounce of power the engine puts down.

This Camaro has been through a full mechanical inspection and benefits from a raft of $7,000 upgrades, including:

All-new braking system

Complete suspension overhaul

NZ certification for all modifications ensuring peace of mind and road legality

Imported out of California and now fully certified in NZ, this Camaro blends the best of American muscle heritage with the reliability of fresh upgrades. Its not just a show car its a street-ready weapon built to be driven and enjoyed.
