The seller offers for sale a 1972 Chevrolet Camaro SS350 coupe, powered by a 5700 cc V8 engine and equipped with an automatic transmission. This classic American muscle car features a factory-original configuration, including power steering and power front brakes. It was delivered in its original Mulsanne Blue color and was repainted in the same shade in 2010. The Camaro was imported from Switzerland to the Netherlands after three decades and has remained in the possession of the current seller since.
This second-generation Camaro represents the transition from the late 1960s muscle era into a more refined and aerodynamic profile, while still maintaining aggressive lines and V8 performance. With its long hood, sloped roofline, and recessed grille, the SS350 variant stood out as a performance-focused trim level equipped with enhancements under the hood and subtle styling differences compared to base models.
All lights and indicators are functional, and the car has a valid Dutch road inspection.
The exterior is described as being in good condition. The 2010 respray in its original Mulsanne Blue still presents neatly, and there is no indication of accident damage or required paint correction. The coupe body retains its factory look and character. The original 1972 upholstery—featuring a combination of vinyl and cloth—is still in place. The interior shows signs of age and use typical for its era, and some repairs or replacements may be needed. Still, the dashboard and controls appear to be intact, retaining the car’s period feel.
Mechanically, the car is considered reliable. The car is over 50 years old and remains mostly original. While not freshly restored, its preserved state adds to its authenticity and appeal for collectors looking for a largely unmodified example.
The second-generation Camaro, introduced in 1970, was built on GM’s F-body platform and featured a longer, lower, and wider design compared to its predecessor. The 1972 model came during a transitional period for American performance cars, with rising insurance premiums and emission regulations starting to impact performance figures. However, the SS350 model still delivered strong V8 power, respectable acceleration, and classic American styling.
With its RS (Rally Sport), LT (Luxury Touring), and Z/28 siblings, the SS350 sat in the performance-oriented part of the Camaro lineup, offering increased displacement and factory performance parts. The 1972 model year also saw a drop in production numbers due to a lengthy GM strike, making surviving examples increasingly rare.
In classic car circles, early 1970s Camaros—especially the SS models—remain desirable for their balance of style, performance, and everyday usability. This example, with its original drivetrain, factory equipment, and period-correct finish, represents a compelling option for enthusiasts seeking a usable American classic.
