The Camaro and the Mustang. A story of two muscle cars from GM and Ford nuking it out for over fifty years. Other muscle car contenders have come, gone, and re-emerged but these two have stayed at it to this day. This second generation 1971 Chevrolet Camaro Z/28 is one of those historic machines, and it’s got a few upgrades under its belt too. With 24,000 miles showing, it’s quite lightly run as well. The factory build sheet is included in the sale.

Exterior and Interior

In 2022, this 1971 Chevrolet Camaro Z/28 would see a repaint to the sinister dark gray that you see in these pictures, giving it a menacing stance. Adding to the authenticity is the seller’s report that the exterior sheet metal, floor, and panels have never been cut. Round back, you’ve got the iconic quad light clusters and Z/28 trunk lid spoiler for added sportiness. Rolling on period correct wheels wrapped with BFGoodrich Radial T/A tires, this pointy-nosed Camaro is ready to rumble along the streets, as well as take-off down them with a throaty roar. Venture aboard the black four seat interior which was redone in 2022, with most interior bits reportedly replaced, but the headliner and gauges are said to be original. The floor mats carry the Z/28 logo, the gauge cluster trim is wood-effect. The 150mph speedometer indicates the potency of this Camaro, although things aren’t 100% original beneath the skin as we shall read shortly.

Engine

The 1971 Chevrolet Camaro Z/28 came with a 350ci (5.7L) V8 engine that put out 330hp, but this particular example has undergone an engine swap. Don’t worry, it’s still a Chevy 350ci V8. There’s also an Edelbrock intake manifold, 4bbl Edelbrock carb, and Magnaflow exhaust attached. In other departments, this 1971 Chevrolet Camaro Z/28 enjoys factory front disc brakes, factory power steering and the factory 10-bolt posi rear end.
