This 1971 Camaro is a big time head-turner! I can't even count the number of times people have stopped me at gas stations and stoplights to ask about it! It's bean such a great car to me, and it KILLS me to have to let it go... but after I moved to Florida last Fall, my wife and I need the money badly. I'm only 24, so I'll eventually buy another classic Camaro again, but for now my loss will be your gain!

This is a fantastic car and it's in great shape, no not perfect (those will cost you $20K-$30K easily), but still in GREAT shape. The most important thing to look for in a classic Camaro is a strong motor and trans that'll last you a long time. When I bought this car a year ago, the previous owner of nearly a decade told me that it had a fairly new 350 Chevy crate motor in it with about 3000 miles on it and a freshly rebuilt Turbo 350 automatic transmission. I've put about 10,000 miles on the car since I bought it last year (never raced it or anything, just drove it to car shows and the beach every now and then). Plus, the previous owner had a new aluminum driveshaft put in as well. I know this car runs beautifully because I drove it almost 1000 miles from Virginia to Florida when my wife and I moved down here last Fall with absolutely no problems. So, you can rest assured in knowing this Camaro is going keep on driving for MANY years to come!

As you can see in the pictures and the video, the paint is in good condition and still shines wonderfully. It is an older paint job (I was told about 10 years old), but you can tell it was a really high grade professionally done paint job when it was first applied to the car, but has now begun to show small signs of wear. There are two small rust-bubbles coming through the paint (one small one right behind the passenger side window and one behind the passenger side door down by the rear wheel). In some of the pictures you can also see a small dent with a little bit of chipped paint on the front driver side fender (not too difficult/expensive of a job to have fixed), and that was there when I bought the car. Apparently the previous owner backed his other car into the Camaro in his driveway and just barely bumped the front fender enough to dent it.  There is also a small rust hole under the rear passenger side seat.  I'm pretty sure I sanded away the rust from the hole, so it shouldn't grow any further but it is still there (an easy patch-up job).  Also, 

The car needs a new headliner, however I already have the appropriate black vinyl material, the bows, and the clips needed to install it. You'll just have to get someone to do it for you professionally.  All of the headliner materials are included in this sale.

Since I bought the car last year, these are the improvements I have had done to it professionally:

-added all new chrome trimming to the tops of the doors, fenders, and hood
- replaced window felt on both doors to ensure better protection from water getting inside the doors
- replaced the cheap rubbery and worn aftermarket steering wheel with a nice real wood and chrome steering wheel with accurate "Camaro" emblem on the horn cap
-reupholstered the back seats with brand new pleated black vinyl seat covers
- replaced the worn out cloth, modern racing bucket seats in the front with two brand new pleated black vinyl ProCar low-back classic-styled seats that do recline forward and backward (they have sliders that allow the seats to slide forward and backward, but the pull-rod that connects the under-seat handle to the slider locks somehow came loose on both seats.  So, they are capable of sliding, but those pull-rods would have to be fastened back to the slider locks)
-added 4 brand new matching black cloth floor mats
-had an entirely new Flowmaster true-dual exhaust system installed (which sounds AMAZING- the video doesn't do it justice)
-new distributor, all new wires, new spark plugs, new hoses, new air cleaner, flushed the radiator and put in a new balance of water and antifreeze.
-all new correct fender and rear deck lid "Camaro"chrome emblems.
-Also, a wheel-to-brake lock bar is included for theft prevention, as well as a fitted grey car cover

This Camaro also has:
-17 inch chrome FOOSE wheels
-front disc power brakes, rear drum 
-solid trunk pan
-solid metal wheel-wells, not the cheap plastic kind that can be found in many cheaper restorations
-whale tail style rear deck lid spoiler
-straight front bumper, not split
-all front and rear lights, blinkers and side markers work flawlessly
-interior overhead dome light works perfectly
-new Sony radio/CD/AUX input mp3 player and new Sony sound system with great sound and bass performance
-glove box lock is fully functional and a working key is included
-Speedometer and odometer are functional, but the odometer reading is an erroneous number unrelated to the car's actual mileage. The speedometer reads consistently at roughly 20mph faster than what you are actually driving.
-the fuel gauge does not work 
-There is a removable center console with storage compartment.
-there is a B&M shifter with a shift kit in the transmission so you can choose to drive with completely automatic transmission, or you can manually shift gears without needing a clutch
-the horn does not work
-the doors do lock, but there is no key to unlock/lock them. So, NEVER lock the doors! That's why a wheel-to-pedal lock bar is included in this sale to prevent theft. However, the trunk does lock and there is a key that can be used with it (but it doesn't work for the doors)
-all the windows, rear and front windshields are in solid condition and are crack-free, but do have minor signs of wear.
-both door panels are in fantastic cosmetic/physical condition
-the dashboard has some small amounts of warping up near the windshield from sun exposure over the years, but it is crack-free and the texture/black color are still in fantastic shape.
-despite having vents for A/C & heat, there is no A/C compressor or duct work to supply it (just roll those windows down!)
-fairly new and very clean black carpeting throughout the interior's floor
- the right exhaust pipe hangs a little low because the bracket that was used to hold it up disconnected and needs to be fixed (it's a small repair that I never got around to doing), so I temporarily fastened the exhaust pipe to the frame so it wouldn't vibrate/bounce on the frame while driving.
-the windshield wipers work flawlessly
-there are adjustable air-shocks in the rear so you can manually adjust the height of the rear end with an air compressor
-it has Holly Avenger performance carburetor
-it has ceramic headers with 3-inch exhaust pipes
-and I'm sure there's more to tell you, but I've drawn a blank for the moment.


I'm an honest guy, and I'm trying to be as truthful and transparent as I possibly can about this car. What's great about this Camaro is that it looks like a show car that can fit right in with other classic cars and still look great. Like I said before, it's a true head-turner! However, you're getting it for a great and very affordable price because it does have a few semi-small cosmetic repairs that need to be done (all mentioned above). Once you see it in person and drive it, you'll know what I'm talking about.

Also, I shot this video with my phone to show the various aspects of the car that I tried to address in the description above:


http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cvxBeX0du5U&feature=youtu.be

My cellphone number is 571.225.(one-nine-eight-three), and my email is chadainsworth@me(DOT)com (formed that way to prevent spammers! It is in fact ".com").  Also, you as the buyer are responsible for determining, paying for, and arranging your shipping method for this Camaro.  I have heard FedEx is a fairly priced option for large freight shipments like this, so you might want to try contacting them.

Thanks,

Chad

How long will the 'golden age' of performance last?

Sat, Mar 26 2016

High-powered sports and luxury cars were everywhere at the New York Auto Show, prompting the obvious question for enthusiasts: How long will this golden age of performance last? Industry leaders have some time before regulations elevate the Corporate Average Fuel Economy level in 2025. Even then, they expect cars rippling with power to survive in some form. "Is it the end of an era," I don't think so," said Ola Kallenius, Daimler AG board member for Mercedes-Benz cars marketing and sales. "That performance element of individual mobility I don't think will ever go away." Kallenius, who oversaw the company's AMG division from 2010-2013, expects it to continue to grow. Last year, AMG sold a record 68,875 units around the world, an increase of 44.6 percent over 2014, with strong growth in the US, China, and Germany. Still, there's always the potential for gas to spike, and pending fuel economy regulations are looming. That could lead AMG to add electrification to its products, Kallenius said, pointing to the electric SLS as a test case. Chevy is also thinking ahead, said Al Oppenheiser, chief engineer of the Camaro. He wouldn't bite when asked about electrification for the Camaro (he did say "never say never"), but admitted in 2025 "it's going to be pretty tough to sell V8s." For now, things are rosy for muscle cars, and Chevy confidently showcased the 640-hp Camaro ZL1 in coupe and convertible form in New York. "I think that this is truly the golden age of performance," Oppenheiser said. It's hard to disagree. News & Analysis News: The 2017 Mazda MX-5 Miata RF was a show-stopper in New York. Analysis: There was a palpable energy when this RF — for Retractable Fastback — was revealed the night before the show at a trendy off-site venue near the Hudson River. Even as a parade of SUVs and flashy luxury cars rolled out the rest of the week, the Miata remained a hot topic. The Retractable Fastback is really a clever targa top, with part of the roof stowing behind the seats, adding about 100 pounds compared to the standard convertible. It makes the car more practical and arguably more attractive. The RF continues Mazda's tradition of selling the Miata with a hardtop variant. The first and second generations offered a detachable one, and a power retractable hardtop (a $1,700 option) was available on third-gen models. Judging by its reception in New York, the RF could prove to be even more popular than its predecessors.

Recharge Wrap-up: Toyota FCV Rally Car To Compete, Barra bullish on Chevy Volt

Fri, Oct 31 2014

The Toyota FCV will compete in the last stage of the 2014 Japanese Rally Championship. The sport-tuned hydrogen-powered car will tackle the 177-mile Shinshiro Rally on November 1 and 2, emitting no greenhouse gases in the process. The rally course will help prove the safety of the vehicle before it goes on sale in Japan in the next several months. The Toyota FCV, rumored to be called "Mirai" in Japan, will begin sales there before April, according to Toyota, and in the summer in the US and Europe. Read more in the press release below. Carsharing is becoming more popular, and more visible, throughout the world, including the US. According to WardsAuto columnist John McElroy, 18 percent of US drivers have used some sort of carsharing service. Additionally, he says 60 percent of Americans are familiar with Zipcar and Uber. Mercedes' Harald Kroeger says promotions like free parking for carshares in Stuttgart are encouraging growth for Daimler's carsharing service, Car2go. Read more at WardsAuto. Ethanol is being help up by rail transport, according to ethanol producer Green Plains. More and more stations are carrying E15 blend gasoline, but grain producers have complained that crude oil is given higher priority by the rail lines shipping it, which rail companies deny. Union Pacific and BNSF Railway say they are stepping up service to make sure that ethanol can be shipped reliably to customers. Read more at Omaha World-Herald. General Motors "has placed a significant bet [on] the electrification of the automobile," says CEO Mary Barra. In a speech to the Detroit Economic Club this week, she spoke about the Chevrolet Volt, and its importance to GM's future. While Barra admits the Volt's success has been "not everything we wanted," it has provided experience, and shows that EVs have "an important role in the future of GM." The new Volt is more refined, stores more energy, has longer range, uses less fuel and is a big investment for Michigan. She announced that the new Volt's electric drive system will be built in Warren, and that all of its major components will be made in Michigan. "Silicon Valley doesn't have a corner on the market for innovation, creativity and drive," says Barra. "These qualities exist here – in this region – as well."

GM to build outgoing Silverado and Sierra until late 2019

Tue, Nov 6 2018

As it has done with previous generations, General Motors is keeping the outgoing versions of its 1500 pickups in production despite the arrival of the all-new 2019 Chevrolet Silverado and 2019 GMC Sierra. The production of the previous, K2 generation models will begin to be wound down gradually, according to Automotive News, starting with crew cabs "early next year," and double and regular cab models following during "the early second half of next year." The old model trucks will continue to be built into "late 2019" based on market demand, GM's spokesperson Kim Carpenter said. The Chevrolet will go by the name Silverado LD, with the GMC Sierra designation still to be announced. Some of the outgoing models are built by sharing the assembly work between two GM plants. Partially finished Silverado and Sierra double cab bodies are shipped from Fort Wayne, Ind., to Oshawa, Ont., where the trucks are completed, including receiving paint. This eases the workload in Fort Wayne, where production of the new T1 generation trucks started in July 2018. In January, the Silao plant in Mexico will take on the duties of building new generation regular cab and crew cab trucks. Carpenter also said that the "Oshawa shuttle," as the shared production is called, has been very successful. As a result, 60,000 more trucks will be built than what the original production forecast initially called for. GM's latest quarterly profits, disclosed last week to be $1 billion, have been far higher than expected and will result in full-year profits far higher than what had been predicted in light of steel tariffs. GM isn't the only truck maker taking a similar multi-generation approach for 2019. Both the outgoing and redesigned Ram 1500 are in production, with the previous generation being dubbed Ram 1500 Classic. Related Video:
