Details: If you werent around in the early 70sand#44; you dont know what a radical machine the second-generation Camaro really was. There was simply nothing else on the street as slick as this 1971 Chevrolet Camaroand#44; and even the hottest engine of the era was probably no match for the strong-running small block thats under the hood today. No frillsand#44; just lots of power in a clean body shelland#44; this is an awesome second-generation F-body thats ready to rock.

The factory correct Nevada Silver Metallic finish is the perfect choice if your goal is staying under the radar with your new Camaro. Nicely finishedand#44; it shows off the restyled Camaros curves without drawing undue attention. The RS split front bumper and billet grille were added during the restorationand#44; but nobody can argue over that particular choice; its what we all would have ordered if we were buying this car in 1971 and it looks clean and high-tech. It retains its flat hoodand#44; but painted-on black Z/28 stripes give the sophisticated paint a bit of an attitudeand#44; and the rear spoiler and shaved badges will at least give the other guy something to look at while youre pulling away from him. Decent gapsand#44; a nice shineand#44; and no questionable modifications make this car stand outand#44; even without flashy paint. The bumpers are nicely rechromed and the stainless is in excellent conditionand#44; with everything sparkling like jewelry against the icy silver paint.

The interior got a big makeover in 1970 as welland#44; and this one keeps the good stuff that the factory offered. Both front and rear seats look to have new reproduction seat covers that are in excellent condition and are a lot more inviting-looking than I recalland#44; and the 4-speed sticking out of the transmission tunnel without a console tells you what this cars true purpose really is. The instrument panel was a new wrap-around designand#44; with this car getting only the basic setup of speed and fuel level from the factory and a set of aftermarket dials under the dash. The car was obviously built to go fast and everything else is secondaryand#44; so theres only an AM radioand#44; but that also means that its ready for the entertainment system of your choice. The trunk shows very clean floors and correct spatter-finish paintand#44; suggesting that this was a well-cared-for Camaro for most of its life.

Although its doing its best to look period correctand#44; the 350 cubic inch V8 hides in plain sight. The dual snorkel air cleaner looks like factory-issueand#44; but upgrades like the Edelbrock intake manifold and Holley carburetor suggest there is a bit more horsepower on tap today than what came from the factory. The finned aluminum valve covers are a traditional Chevy touchand#44; and the bright Chevy Orange paint on the block really stands out against the satin black engine bay. Manual steering and brakes are more indicators that this car was built for combat and the Flowmaster exhaust system has the right sound to match its performance. Underneathand#44; the chassis is mostly originaland#44; but shows no signs of having lived in a snowy climate. Black SS wheels and 235/60/15 white-letter radials complete the hardcore performance look.

If you like your horsepower fast and slightly subtleand#44; this is your Camaro. Call today!
