New for 1973 was an LT option which included impact-absorbing bumpers. The Camaro grew in size in 1974 due to a forward sloping grille and new aluminum bumpers. Rectangular bumpers replaced the round taillight designs. Sales of the Z28 package continued to decline so the decision was made to discontinue the option after 1974.
Horsepower was measured in NET rather than gross rating beginning in 1975. This meant that the reported horsepower was much lower than in prior years. The 350 cubic-inch V8 was now rated at about 155 horsepower.
In 1977 the Z28 was re-introduced in an effort to revitalize the muscle-car persona of the Camaro. The base Camaro's were outfitted with air-conditioning and an automatic transmission. A Borg-Warner Super T-10 four-speed manual gearbox could be ordered as optional equipment.

I worked on the assembly line at Norwood O. where the Camaro and Firebird were born. In the summer of "76" we ran 2 prototype Z28s' down the line for production in 1977 model line up . This was to work any bugs out in the assembly process and road tested for any bugs that may have popped up in the public's hands. Full production with the new Z28s' started in 1977, not 1976
