Chevy’s 1971 Camaro was largely a carryover since the cars were all-new the year before. The Super Sport was still offered and could be had with the 402 cubic inch V8, which was still being marketed as the “SS 396”. This example is a project that’s been dormant for many years, so its next owner will have to sort out what’s there and what’s not to put it back together. From a garage in Crestview, Florida, this Camaro is available here on eBay where the bidding holds at $5,100 with an unmet reserve. You can cut to the chase and click the Buy It Now button for $9,200.

Some of the changes to the Camaro in ’71 were subtle, like high-back bucket seats instead of those with separate headrests. And other changes were more noticeable, such as the lowering of compression ratios as the detuning process had begun for lower emissions output. So instead of a maximum compression of 11.0:1, the engines now topped out at 9.0:1.  And it was all stated in SAE net figures instead of Gross HP, making the cars seem less potent than before.

Out of 114,630 Camaro’s built in 1971, 8,877 were RPO Z27, aka a Super Sport. And with the LS3 engine, the production was 1,533, though the seller indicates 1,385. According to the seller, this car was originally Placer Gold in color, but grey primer is present in most places now. The car has been languishing in the seller’s garage for quite some time. We’re told it’s a complete car except for the front and rear glass. The engine will need a bunch of work and a TH-400 automatic transmission comes with the deal.

The body will need a lot of attention, especially with the quarter panels and floor pans, which can be solved with the new AMD replacement panel that the seller is providing. But we’re told the car was never in an accident, so the body is straight as is the frame. A cadre of spare parts will come with the transaction, so be sure to bring enough trailer capacity to handle them along with the automobile itself.
