A friend is looking to possibly buy this `72 RS/Z28. It`s not show condition, but real nice. It has a 383 and a Ford 9", but the # match engine, trans and rear are included in the sale. Sorry, I don`t have any pics.
Is this a $25K-30K car ?

Don there might be a few folks that offer an opinion in here but the 2nd generation camaro folks hang out more at www.nastyz28.com Im sure there are alot of folks there more familar with the 72. Good luck :)

Personally I don't think so. The 70's are the hottest right now, and people are starting to realize that they produced 360hp stock, from a 350. The 71's are pretty hot, (330hp/350ci) but then it goes downhill. The 72's are less desireable, and finally the 73's are very hard to move.

Condition is still very important, as well as # match, born with driveline.

I would say, that in top condition, low mileage, a 72 would probably bring between 15-20k top dollar, unless it was a real survivor type (orig paint, paperwork, not driven in the snow etc) then it MIGHT bring in 25-35k.

Compare that to some 1970 Z's in top condition that have gone as high as $68,000.00 recently!

OK, maybe I was a little off on a #1 car, I just found a 72 Z on ebay where the bidding is at 40,100.00 and still has 4 days to go.......

71 and 72 lt1's were basically identical except for the rating change from gross to net hp. I would expect due to 72's rarity it would be comparable in price to the 71. I like the 71& 72's for their driveability, 9 to1 compression allows you to use todays gas without retarding timing or adding fuel additives.

From a collectibility standpoint 1970 is the one to own.

With out pics its hard to tell but they always need more work than they look like they do.$25 to 30k for a 72 Z needing resto is too much.You may be able to make money on it later but right now you would have more in it than it is worth after a restoration.
