350-Powered 1971 Chevrolet Camaro 5-Speed

Description

Introduced for the 1970 model year, the second-generation Chevrolet Camaro featured a longer, lower, and wider design that emphasized both performance and handling. The platform remained popular among enthusiasts thanks to its well-balanced chassis, aggressive styling, and compatibility with Chevrolet's wide range of powertrain options. The second-generation Camaro continues to remain a popular choice for enthusiasts seeking classic muscle-car styling and improved drivability. 

Acquired by the seller in 2025, this 1971 Chevrolet Camaro is powered by a 350ci small-block Chevrolet V8 fitted with a Holley 650 Double Pumper carburetor and paired with a Borg-Warner T5 five-speed manual transmission.

Finished in Cortez Silver with black stripes over a black vinyl interior, the car has been modified in the style of a Z28 and it features an L88-style fiberglass cowl hood, front and rear spoilers. Notable equipment includes power steering, power brakes, a GM 10-bolt Positraction rear axle with 3.42 gears, a Hurst shifter, Cragar S/S wheels, and more as outlined below.  

This Z28-inspired 1971 Chevrolet Camaro is now offered with a clean Florida title in the seller's name.

Ownership History

The seller acquired this Camaro in 2025. 

From the seller: “I purchased this Camaro from Hanksters Hot Rods of Daytona. The undercarriage is very clean, the car sounds great, and it runs well both around town and on the highway. A previous owner participated in three separate Hot Rod Power Tour events, and the vehicle still retains the event decals. One decal remains on the windshield, while two others are displayed on the rear glass. The car took part in the 2015, 2019, and 2021 tours."
