1971 Chevrolet Camaro

Description

A fantastic resto-mod that delivers on every level, this sweet Camaro is the kind of car you simply CAN'T ignore. It cruises like a champ, charges like a bull, and oozes the style and class that made second generation F-Bodies the stuff of legend. And if you're looking for an impressive muscle car that you can enjoy for decades to come, it's the awesome classic you've been searching for!

During its thorough reboot, this fully sorted panther was massaged into a tough profile that's straight and exceptionally solid. Once that prep was complete, a rich combination of Burgundy and Charcoal 2-stage was traced in silver divider stripes. Blackout stainless and blackout door handles provide a nice complement to dark-tint glass. A fresh rear bumper centers a small camera below a polished trunk lock, while polished rockers reflect classy “LS3” fender badging. Up front, a sculpted Cowl Induction Hood shades clear parking lamps and a monochromatic “SS” grille emblem. And choice Rally Sport aesthetics include split bumpers, dual spoilers and chrome-trimmed taillights.

Pop this coupe's steel hood and you'll find 6.2 liters of divine GM small block that's been outfitted with niceties like a polished accessory drive, coated Spectre induction and a lightweight DeWitts radiator that's paired with electric puller fans. Behind that mill, a tough Tremec 5-speed makes excellent use of a fabricated 9-inch with 3.89 gears and posi-traction. That axle pushes a heavily upgraded suspension, which cages upgraded springs and fresh Hotchkis shocks in tubular control arms, Hotchkis tie rod sleeves and thick Hotchkis sway bars. Turns come courtesy of power rack-and-pinion steering. Stopping is a cinch thanks to four power-assisted calipers, which squeeze a combination of vented, drilled and slotted rotors. Hedman Husler Hedders push spent gases in to aluminized pipes, which are threaded through Borla S-Type mufflers. Torque melts the pavement thanks to Argent Ridler blades, which spin 235/45ZR17 Nitto NT555s in front of 275/40ZR18 Nitto NT555s. And the LS3's power is kept in check by sturdy subframe connectors.

Open this Chevy's long doors and you'll find a tastefully upgraded interior that's stylish and very livable. The front passengers enjoy tall racing buckets that are laced with 5-point RJS harnesses. In front of those seats, a monochromatic dash hangs modern telemetry over Vintage Air climate control and modern, direct-fit audio. At the floor, crisp carpet centers a tall armrest between a small fire extinguisher and a polished SST shifter. The driver traces the road through a simple Grant steering wheel, which laps a modern, tilting column. Passengers haul cargo in a fully carpeted trunk. And everyone stays safe thanks to a sturdy roll bar.

Who doesn't want an early F2 Camaro that's better than new in virtually every way? Thanks to its quality restoration, this stylish coupe retains authentic muscle car feel while adding proven components to an already awesome ownership experience. If you're in the market for a storied classic that's fully detailed and ready to hit the road, welcome to the Chevrolet family!
