<div class="ubbcode-block"><div class="ubbcode-header">Originally Posted By: hubleyman</div><div class="ubbcode-body">I’ve owned many original paint 1973 Camaros Z/28’s, most of which were silver with black interior (one of my weaknesses). All of the Type LT Z/28’s, with or without the RS option, did not include the sport stripes or Z/28 badges. I’m currently wrapping up a frame off resto on my silver 73 RS/LT/Z28 with 4 speed and A/C. This car was factory equipped with spoilers, but the only visible exterior Z/28 specific details are the wheels and tires.
I’m really leaning towards painting stripes on this one when it’s done, because these cars just don’t have the same look without them…. but the car is so correct otherwise I might not…
<span style="font-size: 14pt"><span style="font-weight: bold">I was always under the impression that spoilers were included with the Z/28 package in 1</span>973</span> and optional on the other non-Z/28 models. Only one of my 73 Z/28’s did not have spoilers. This was an original paint car that I purchased from the original owner in Sacramento back in the late 70‘s. He and his brother ordered matching 73 Z’s and told me he had to special order the cars without spoilers. The original factory applied paint stripes on the deck lid were botched up where they would have met the front lip of the spoiler and then run up and over the top. It looked like the factory had to cut the stencil to shorten it and didn’t align the two pieces properly. So even though stripes may have been optional, it appeared to me that the factory had to modify their procedures for applying the stripes if a Z/28 was ordered without the spoiler package…

nope, NONE of the 73 Z28's had stripes OR spoilers &quot;standard&quot; they were both options you had to select and pay for.

RPO D80 at $77 for the spoilers
RPO D88 at $77 for the stripes

the RPO D88 states &quot;not available with Type LT&quot;

1972 was the 1st year that 2nd gens had spoilers optional, the short spoiler WAS standard in 1970 and 1971. The taller one was optional in 1971.
