HI Alan, I think it would look good restored, and I think it looks good this way too, Lou

1971 Chevrolet Camaro Z/28. The Chevrolet Camaro would be introduced on September 22, 1966, for the 1967 model year as a success to other Pony Cars of the 1960s, such as the Studebaker Avanti, Pontiac GTO, Plymouth Barracuda, Ford Mustang, and Oldsmobile 442. It was released with the standard variant V8 (350 V8), RS/SS 396 (396 V8), and the Z/28 (302 V8). It was produced for 2 model years, lasting until 1969, which is arguably the most popular model year for the first gen Camaro. The Chevrolet Camaro was so popular that it would get constant upgrades from other companies, such as General Motors' Yenko and COPO (Central Office Production Center). The Yenko Camaro was introduced in 1968-1969 and only for 1968-1969 with a 427 Cubic Inch Chevrolet Big-Block V8 from the 1967-1969 Chevrolet Corvette C2/C3. This car sold around 600,000 units for the three model years in total (Each selling around 230,000 to 240,000 units), making it just as successful as other cars, but NOT the Mustang (That car sold over 1 million units in just 2 years). It would eventually be succeeded by the 1970 Chevrolet Camaro to 1981 Chevrolet Camaro, gaining more/less power due to many variations (1973 Oil Crisis, 1972 SAE Gross to SAE Net, etc) and getting many facelifts (First facelift for the car was in 1974). For 1970-1973, it was introduced with a more "happier" design at the front and new taillights at the back unlike the square taillights for the 1966-1969 model years. They also kept all of the trims seen on the First Gen, excluding the COPO/Yenko for 1970 and the "Super Sport" trim for 1972, which wouldn't come back until the mid-1990s. The 1970-1973 Chevrolet Camaro made even more horsepower than the first-generation counterpart and costed around $2700 to $3200 depending on base/trim options ($21,000 to $25,000 in today's money).

Hi Nicky, I'm pretty sure Dave stepped on it, Lou

Something's not right about this car, at least according to the Trim Tag. The "777" interior trim code is Sandlewood, not black. The "78" body color code is Rosewood. As noted by @Jim McCune, the build code "04E" indicates fifth week of April, 1971. Also, the throttle pedal is hinged off the throttle arm rod - itself hinged off the firewall - not off the floor, like it should on a Z28 from '70-'72. Lou, you might want to point out these things to Dave. To the best of my knowledge, the 1970 and 1/2 Camaros were so called due to the very late introduction of the model year (assembly began in February 1970). There is a similarity between 1969 and 1970 - both years saw major workers' union strikes, causing a delay in the introduction of new models. I don't know if the strike-caused delays ultimately originated the "and-a-half" moniker or not, but I believe this 1971 Camaro doesn't qualify.

Todays whiners complain about todays Camaros, Trunk space, can' t see etc. This 70' Camaro has just 6.29 feet of space. I have a 17' SS 6 speed Camaro, my trunk space is over 9 feet but its deeper and more narrow. Back when this came out few people bitched and moaned about stuff like that. People were driving Custom vans and pickup trucks with curtains in the rear windows, but people knew how to use mirrors. Mustangs with almost a flat horizontal rear windows and a passenger side mirror was still an option. Unfortunately people today are wimps, spoiled and complain. My 69' Roadrunner had no passenger side mirror at all I looked over my shoulder. In the 70s and 80s I also had a 67' Ford F100 Stepside pickup with a 6 foot bed, 352 v8 with a 4:11 rear. I had curtains in the back window I could open or close. I kept them closed most of the time because I liked the seclusion. But I also had full length truck mirrors on driver and passenger side, I learned to use them and could see fine. Today my Camaro comes with Passenger side mirror standard equipment. I can see my flanks with no problem at all after install 2 inch spot mirrors on each one. A whole different breed of consumer back then than today. And back then most people would not want to be seen in a foreign car or you were a square.
