sales brochure Hagerty: While the Z/28 was conceived as a Trans Am
racer for the road, with a high-revving 302 and a close-ratio
four-speed only, the new 1970 ('71) version was a slightly more
civilized model.... That said, it was no pretender. The Z/28
package still came with heavy duty suspension and Positraction
axle, and under the hood was a 360-horse version of the fantastic
solid lifter, high-compression LT1 engine out of the Corvette.
Offered here is a numbers-matching 1971 Chevrolet Camaro Z28 in
Mulsanne Blue (with black stripes) over black. Built in June 1971,
and originally delivered to Jim Derrow Chevrolet in Defiance, Ohio,
this very well-maintained and highly documented Z28's odometer
shows just 46,790 miles, or fewer than 1,000 miles per-year on
average since new. Be sure to check the laminated original factory
window sticker (included in the photo gallery) for the car's
complete and impressive list of options. This is a true Z28. The
Z28's exterior Mulsanne blue paint remains close-to-showroom-new in
appearance: excellent gloss, deep reflectivity, and an absence of
notable signs of wear or deterioration, including on lower body
surfaces. (Mulsanne is a region in northwest France after which the
long straight section of the 24 Hours of LeMans course is named.)
Particularly appealing here are the double black stripes on the
hood, and especially on the rear deck where they cross the spoiler.
The stripes are crisp and unfaded with no cuts or other damage. All
body panels are similarly free of damage with fit at or above the
level seen in this era from the Norwood, Ohio assembly plant. The
matte-black front spoiler is free of cracks or damage. The
tastefully limited chrome on the body remains in excellent
condition. Factory-applied badging-Z28 front grille, rear valance,
and both fenders, as well as the Camaro emblem on the hood-is
correct and complete. Cabin glass and lighting lenses are clear and
free of cracks. Factory 5-spoke styled steel wheels (with black
centers, bowtie-logo center caps, and chrome trim rings) are
mounted with BFGoodrich® Comp T/A raised-white-letter performance
tires. The car's interior has been treated with the same care as
the exterior. Black, vertically pleated upholstery on the front
buckets and 2-position rear bench is free of rips, tear, or even
much indication of use. Matching black door trim is likewise
excellent; chrome door-sill plates are near-perfect indicating
owner care and pride. Dashboard surfaces are extremely well
preserved with no sign of sun damage or fading. The stock, black,
Chevrolet-script steering wheel frames an original instrument
cluster with an added Sun® Super Pro tachometer mounted on the
column. Chrome-on-plastic trim surrounding the factory instruments
and controls has not been damaged by lack of care. The original AM
radio is mounted in the center dash, above three upgraded Sun
engine-monitoring gauges in the factory location. The shift lever
for the 4-speed manual, numbers-matching M22 Rock Crusher
transmission is console-mounted and features a chrome shift knob;
to its rear, undamaged console trim shows the shift pattern, and a
storage box separates the two front seats. Under the hood is the
