'70-'73 Camaro Rally Sport front end

[Tim H]

Too many legal stockers with incorrect front ends... if it has the small "bumperettes" it must have the extended center nose piece and the small round parking lights above the bumpers. If the '69 Camaro racers had to replace their cowl hoods with flat ones, shouldn't the 70-73 Camaro racers have to run front grilles,bumpers and parking lights that are correct ?
The only legal combo that was built with the small bumperettes was with the Rally Sport option. The RS option could be combined with the Z28 or SS options but it becomes the "passive" option and the Z28 or SS emblems are displayed rather than the RS script.

incorrect front combo shown below ... (disregard cowl hood which was also never offered by Chevrolet for these cars)

Do you guys really care - or is it just winter withdrawals.

Is it a performance advantage - NO - who gives a crap with the way the last few years have gone

West Coast wedge - V10 that is

The correct RS front end is heavier , the euro bumper around the grill is not light and yes there was never a split bumper with the lower marker lights

[Crew Chief]

Its a simple fix. Take the split bumpers off and install the one piece bumper.

2 small bumperettes weigh less than the full size bumper many of these cars should have. Likely not much of a performance advantage if any but aesthetically incorrect.

"aesthetically" - that is the point - only a few are left who care - new cars are 5 to 8 years old and people will need to learn what is legal with the new cars - many are not perfectly correct.

It will come as no surprise - I am sure -
I have made the exact configuration change on our 1970 Camaro and the weight saving is less than 10lbs - the attachment brackets (most of the weight) are the same - if you go to the trouble of replacing the "hard nose" - not worth the cost of old collector car parts. You have to buy lower front valances and cut holes next to headlight. No one ever complained - they worried about the radiator not being stock number of rows - LMFAO. I even bought the correct fog lights but never needed them.

Having had a 70 1/2 Camaro RS/SS, I think the these(Stock/SS) cars should race with the correct parts on them.
Yes, this is one of my pet peeves and also, apparently I am old.....
