**Very Rare, very desireable 1972 Midnight Bronze Camaro Z28 with the RS option. MYTH #1 only 70 1/2's were split bumper....** NOT TRUE** (Any RS was a Split bumper from 70-73'; 67-69 were hideaways) MYTH #2 is that Horsepower dropped significantly. This also is NOT TRUE it went down 10 actual H.P. at the block from 71. The factory had to show Net HP instead of Gross HP in 72 because of the new 7% escise tax law that came into effect. The Z28 went from 275 horsepower to the ground in 71(330 at the block); to 255 to the ground in 72(320 at the block). In 1972 Chevrolet almost shut down production on Camaros to accomodate the new laws. Only 68651 Camaros were built in 72 and a mere 2575(lowest production) were Z28's with no idea how many were RS optioned.
