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.
Have a look through the pictures for better reference, and visit this YouTube link to see an HD video I made of this beautiful 1971 Camaro:

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:
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

Recharge Wrap-up: Volt makes up third of Quebec Chevy dealerships sales, Tesla seeks Aussie talent
Wed, Nov 5 2014A Chevrolet dealership in Quebec has had the Volt make up 35 percent of its sales so far this year. Bourgeois Chevrolet in Rawdon, Quebec received recognition for the feat at the 2014 Electric Vehicle Conference, where it won the award for Leading Plug-in Hybrid Electric Vehicle Dealership. To sell that many, Bourgeois Chevrolet had to import used Volts from the US, and keeps about 50 units on the lot in various configurations. The conference also saw Park Avenue Nissan of Brossard, Quebec win the Leading Battery Electric Vehicle Dealership Award, and Loch Lomond Mitsubishi of Saint John, New Brunswick receive the award for Electric Vehicle Dealership Inspiration. Read more at Green Car Reports. Tesla Motors has begun scouting Australian engineers as other automakers shutter operations there. Ford, General Motors and Toyota have announced that they will shut down their Australian factories, leaving behind a lot of unused talent. Tesla recently held a "Recruiting Open House" in Melbourne for engineers to fill positions at its plant in Fremont, CA, where they will be paired with other Aussie engineers already on staff.

Valeo recently showed an electric turbo it plans to supply to an unnamed automaker at a fuel economy showcase event at the EPA's National Vehicle Emissions and Fuel Lab. Electric turbochargers have the advantage of greatly reduced lag when compared to exhaust-driven turbos. They also work well when paired with cylinder deactivation, providing a much-needed boost when driving on a grade, which can help reduce the need for cylinders to reactivate. Independence from the exhaust system also makes it easier to package the turbocharger wherever there is room. Read more from Navigant Research. US crude oil futures have dropped to their lowest in more than two years. Saudi Arabia cut oil costs for the US and raised them for Europe and Asia as the US has increased output. On November 3, US crude futures fell as much as 2.2 percent in New York. West Texas Intermediate closed at $78.78, the lowest since June 2012. Brent crude slipped $1.08 to $84.78 a barrel.

Joe Flacco wins C7 Corvette along with MVP honors
Mon, 04 Feb 2013As part of a longstanding tradition, the MVP of Super Bowl XLVII, Joe Flacco, quarterback for the Baltimore Ravens, was given a new car directly after the game and trophy celebrations. For 2013, that car is a 2014 Chevrolet Corvette Stingray, and it was presented to Flacco by Rick Flick of Banner Chevrolet, a dealership in New Orleans that was wiped out by Hurricane Katrina in 2005 before returning to prominence as the only Chevy dealer in Orleans Parish.
Last year, Super Bowl MVP Eli Manning took home a 2012 Corvette GS Centennial Edition. Manning also won in 2008, when he selected a Cadillac Escalade Hybrid as his reward. In 2011, quarterback Aaron Rodgers accepted the keys to a Camaro convertible.
Though we're most definitely an auto-obsessed group, we did watch the Big Game along with nearly everyone else in America. And we've gotta say, as if winning the Super Bowl and receiving the Tiffany-designed Pete Rozelle Trophy wasn't enough for the multi-millionaire MVP athletes, a brand-new C7 seems like an awfully generous prize. Scroll down below for an official announcement from General Motors.
North American Car, Truck and SUV of the Year finalists revealed
Thu, Nov 17 2022The finalists for the 2023 North American Car, Truck and Utility Vehicle of the Year Awards were announced Thursday at the L.A. Auto Show. — The Acura Integra, Genesis Electrified G80 and Nissan Z made the cut in the car category. — The Ford F-150 Lightning, Chevy Silverado ZR2 and Lordstown Endurance advanced in trucks. — And the Cadillac Lyriq, Genesis GV60 and Kia EV6 advanced among utilities. The winners will be announced Jan. 11 in Detroit. The finalists underscored the industryÂ’s shift to electric vehicles, as all three utilities and two of the three trucks are EVs. The finalists were culled from a list of 26 semifinalists made up of three trucks, 10 cars and 16 utility vehicles that are new this year. Notables that missed the cut include the Mercedes EQE, Subaru WRX and Toyota GR Corolla in cars; while the Honda CR-V, Kia Sportage and Rivian R1S were among the utes that did not advance. The three trucks are the only ones eligible this year and have advanced through the voting. 50 jurors who work for media outlets across North America vote three times over the course of the year to whittle down the field, which was originally 47 vehicles. Jurors also test the semifinalists at an October group event in Ann Arbor, Mich. The Honda Civic (car), Ford Maverick (truck) and Ford Bronco (utility vehicle) were the 2022 winners.
