1971 Chevrolet Camaro Z-28

The devil is in the detail! This 2nd Generation 1971 Camaro Z28 was purchased as a documented Concourse all original sheet metal. trim. bumpers and numbers matching powertrain. It was given a frame off restoration starting in December 2014 and completing October 2015. Built to be a jaw dropping clean lines show car with comfort. handling and performance in mind. It was mine and the builders goal to not over build. nbsp;or end up with a gaudy. rough riding. LT1 powered. nbsp;trailer queen.  The small craftsman's details can be missed by the average eye such as filled in side marker lights and door lock. production crease lines filled in both front and back. hood mating sections filled in. fire wall smoothed. ARP stainless 12 point hardware throughout. nbsp;and  fuse box and wiring hidden from view while body gaps are excellent.  New school eye candy detail with old school comfort. No kidney belt jarring ride. no roll cage or cutting up this pristine unibody and frame.   This is a canyon carving. Sunday driving. take the trophy home show car! The odometer states 3. 41 miles however the true mileage on this build is 1. 45. I had to drive it to the Good Guys Show in Del Mar and my local shows. right?

Under hood. inner fenders and firewall are sprayed with flat Sunset Pearl Orange and secured using ARP stainless bolts and 12 point nuts.  All original trim work was either polished or chromed while all billet aluminum was sent to be black anodized.
