'70s, however, Z/28s still offered serious high performance and
wrapped it up in an attractive European-inspired package with
chrome bumpers, smooth coupe bodywork, and an enormous square
grille. Hagerty In the hands of Mark Donohue on the TransAm
circuits, the late-60s Z28s established the model as a race-bred
Mustang challenger, the early 70s saw the Z28 become more livable.
As the Hagerty people put it, the good stuff was still there: The
Z/28 package still came with heavy duty suspension and Positraction
axle. And of those 70s-era Z28 cars, the '71 model is special: Even
rarer are models from 1971 (fewer than 5000).... In 1973, Z/28
sales rose to more than 11,500, before the Camaro was significantly
restyled for 1974. Some purists say that restyling marked the end
of the true Z28s. Offered here is a refreshed and tastefully
upgraded 1971 Camaro Z28 in blue
metallic-with-bespoke-black-stripes over black vinyl. The car's
engine has been replaced with a 350 cubic-inch V8 crate-engine
power married to a new automatic transmission. The odometer shows
just under 33,000 miles on the original body. The car is the pride
of its one owner over the past 20 years, who commissioned the
upgrades. The Z28's exterior blue paint was professionally
refreshed and shows even gloss and color across the entire car.
Door frames and the underside of the hood and trunk are properly
painted. The car's original data tags are in place. The black
stripes are properly positioned and show no fading or wear.
Chrome-including on the full-width front and rear bumpers, door
handles, headlight trim, and exhaust outlets-is free of obvious
pitting or damage. The car's front and rear spoilers are properly
mounted and contribute to the dramatic European-design look often
cited in reviews. Lighting lenses, cabin glass, and properly
located badging are all in excellent condition. Sumitomo Z-rated
performance tires are mounted on gloss-black-finish 5-spoke wheels.
Inside, the black vinyl, vertically pleated upholstery is in very
good condition overall, with only the driver's seat cushion showing
a small tear. The dash controls are complete and show some signs of
patina from use and age. The dash surface is free of damage or
sun-fading. In addition to the factory instrumentation, auxiliary
AutoMeter gauges for water temperature, oil pressure, and voltage
have been incorporated in the upper console forward of the grab bar
shifter for the 700 R4 automatic transmission. A Grant GT sport
steering wheel is mounted. The black carpeting in the cabin, and a
properly fitting black headliner are in excellent condition. Inside
the engine bay, the replacement 350 V8 with its aluminum heads
sparkles with polished metal components, chrome air cleaner cover,
chrome valve covers, and new aluminum radiator. The entire engine
compartment is perfectly detailed with hoses properly routed.
Underneath, the car's chassis shows only minor surface rust on some
unprotected components, and no body-panel rust. The dual-exhaust
system with crossover pipe and the 3.73 rear end and Hotchkis
suspension springs stand out. We expect and invite in-person
inspection of this fully restored, well maintained '71 Z28 at our
Grand Rapids, Michigan showroom. We ask only that you call or email
us for an appointment in advance so that we can devote our full
attention to you during your visit. Meanwhile, the more than 130
