Pedal to the Metal Muscle Cars proudly presents this rare, all-original 1972 Chevrolet Camaro Z27 SS/RS, a true collector’s gem with only 27,000 documented miles.

The Legend of the 1972 Camaro Z27 SS/RS

The 1972 Camaro Z27 SS/RS represents one of the most iconic and historically significant configurations of the 2nd-generation Camaro. With only 970 SS models built in 1972, 300 SS/RS combinations, and fewer than 100 LS3 big block RS/SS cars, this Camaro is an exceptionally rare find. Its rarity is compounded by the 1972 174-day Chevrolet strike, which reduced overall Camaro production to 68,656 units, making the SS package even more exclusive.
