Ok I have a question, why do some of the early 2nd gens have front bumpers like this?

and others like this.

I have noticed it doesn't matter what year the 2nd gen is, their are two different front clips versions for all the versions from the early 70's.

**** that white one is gorgeous. and about the bumpers, i dont know, i've noticed differences too...

archemedes

the first one is a real rs, the second was an owner conversion aka fake

archemedes

the "split bumper" was available from '70 to '73 and only with the rs package

RFF

Why does the first one look like it has fog lights? Is that an RS package only thing or something cause their is a Z28 running around here that has the same bumper style as the first one.

archemedes

rs could be ordered with z28, the first one those are the marker lights, there is nothing below the bumper (at least from the factory)

RFF

Thanks if I ever get another Camaro I would like it to be like the 2nd gen from the first link.

archemedes

that's the body style I've been looking at, or a '69

RFF

I wonder how hard it was to put that LS1 in the car from the 2nd link. I haven't seen many LS1 or LT1's in older muscle cars.

archemedes

there is a kit for it now from what I gather, hotchkiss did it when teh ls1 first came out

archemedes

but the '70-'71 had the 396 as an optional engine

RFF

Hmm, old school 396 VS LS1.

archemedes

cheaper to build a ton of power from the big block than make the ls1 work at all

i got an '80 2nd gen... there fun.. but dont expect much in the handling department... iv learnt that a couple times lol

RFF

Most older muscle cars don't handle well stock anyway. You gotta invest in some serious suspension mods to make it handle right.
