This rare Camaro has a monster engine to back up its killer looks.

The mid-1970s saw a lot awesome muscle cars bite the dust, and one such example of such is the big-block Camaro. The 1972 model year marked the last year you could get a big-block engine under the hood of a Camaro, and it also happened to be the last time you could get a Camaro SS until the performance trim level returned for the 1996 model year. Fortunately, Valenti Classics has a beautiful and rare big-block 1972 Chevrolet Camaro for sale decked out with the RS/SS performance goodies.

In terms of rarity, fewer than 1,000 big-block Camaros were produced in 1972, and while it would be easy to take 396 V8, drop it in a Camaro and slap on some "SS 396" badges, this car here is a legit big-block Camaro as proven by its VIN – the "U" in the fifth place of the VIN indicates the big-block 396 CID V8 with a four-barrel carb. This car is also a verified Super Sport model as proven by the "Z27" stamping on the trim tag under the hood.

Not only will this big-block Camaro win you some races, it will also win plenty of awards thanks to its show-ready condition. It's unclear if this car has been repainted or restored, but the Pewter Silver paint matches what the car came with from the factory and the blacked out rear taillight panel is how the SS package came. The RS package is what gave the Camaro its most iconic design element of this period: the split-bumper grille.
