1971 Chevrolet Camaro Z/28 Tribute

Description

Second generation Camaros continue to be strong sellers, and if past performance is any indication, this 1971 Chevrolet Camaro Z/28 tribute probably won't last very long in our showroom. Built to drive, it's got all the right hardware to be fun on the street and still looks fantastic when you park it.

Cottonwood Green is a fine factory color for 1971, but it just would not do this mean machine justice. That's why it has been given a hotshot of newer red with glossy clearcoat. But more than just bold paintwork, the iconic black SS stripes match the front air dam, and it also helps accent the large cowl induction hood and spoiler that runs end-to-end over the rear. There's not a lot of shiny trim on a Camaro, but the bright parts like the bumpers, window trim, and even the rings around the taillights are compete for a true classic American muscle car appearance. But what really helps sets this Camaro apart are the Old School Gun Metal wheels by B/G Rod Works. They give an aggressive touch to an iconic design, and when combined with the staggered tire size, this Camaro has a truly intimidating profile.

You can instantly tell this Camaro wants to get down to business the moment you open the door. Black bucket seats coordinate nicely with the black carpeting, door panels, and dash. The color inside was also switched over from green, so everything looks correct but has a fresher feeling. While this looks very purpose-built for driving, there's plenty of comfort with the ice-cold R134a air conditioning and AM/FM/CD stereo with auxiliary input. But when you sit behind the factory wheel, you'll instant feel a tingle of excitement. The full set of AutoMeter gauges and B&M performance shifter tell you, even before you turn the key, that you're in control of a lot of power.

Under the hood is a fantastic-looking 355 cubic-inch V8. But once you look beyond the shiny components and fined valve coves, you'll see great performance features like an Edelbrock four-barrel carburetor, Edelbrock Performer intake, and long-tube headers. This means plenty of power and a terrific rumble out of the dual exhaust. But what makes this package even more appealing are solid support components like the Accel HEI distributor and aluminum radiator with dual electric fans. So yes, you could even sit in traffic with the A/C on and feel fine. In fact, you get the feeling this car was built to be more than just a big power machine. There are great anytime driving features like the 700R4 four-speed automatic transmission w/overdrive, power steering, and front disc brakes.

Fast, fun, and very affordable, this is the kind of Camaro that we see leave us quickly. If you like the way it looks, you're going to love how it drives. Call today!!!
