Camaro magazine advertisement You could buy a Corvette. But good as
it is, space is limited to two people. So, we also have Camaro.
With four seats. And we think we're perfectly justified in calling
it a sports car. It certainly qualifies on looks. Our stylists have
seen to that. And it performs and handles like a sports car. Our
engineers have seen to that. But nothing we can say can take the
place of a test drive. So why don't you see your Chevrolet dealer.
He's got a sports car waiting. For the four of you. In another
Camaro ad, the copy included: ... Road & Track calls Camaro the
best American car we've ever driven. If the advertising writers
back in 1971 could've glimpsed the Camaro offered here, they have
probably dropped their Martinis in mid-lunch. This 1971 Camaro
coupe is a modified, performance-enhanced, flame-bedecked, Z28
RS/SS Tribute in black over black. The improvements and
enhancements are well-executed and properly installed. The car's
odometer shows 49,152 miles, or fewer than 1,000 miles per-year on
average. The Camaro's exterior paint-with the exception of the
front-end painted-flame graphics-is non-metallic black in very good
condition, with light, age-related patina in some areas. Close
inspection will show that the full-width flames on the
cowl-induction type hood are the result of a painstaking,
multi-step, application of successive colors: silver, yellow,
orange, and red (front to back). The quality is excellent, and the
hot-rod, rock-and-roll, artistic look is spectacular. The chrome
finish on the split-front bumpers, center-drop rear bumper,
headlight trim, dual exhaust tips, taillight trim, cabin-glass
trim, and door handles is all in well-maintained condition. The
roof incorporates twin removable glass panels for open-air driving.
Badging is limited to just two Z28 emblems, one in the black front
grille, and one on the rear-deck spoiler. Cabin glass and lighting
lenses are clear and undamaged. The Camaro rides on American
Racing® AR61 Series Outlaw 1, staggered-width aluminum wheels
mounted with Dunlop GT Qualifier® raised-white-letter tires in the
rear, and blackwall steel-belted radials in front. The car's
interior maintains the attractive '71 Camaro stock appearance all
in black. The high-back front buckets and rear bench seat are
upholstered in vertically pleated vinyl, free of wear indications
and damage. Cabin carpeting continues the black theme and includes
bowtie-logo rubber protective mats in front. Original door trim has
been well-maintained; door-sill step-over plates are in very good
condition. The rear deck incorporates multiple speakers for the
trunk-mounted, upgraded audio system. A stock steering wheel with
Camaro logo frames the stock instrument array including a 160-mph
speedometer (with other stock instrument lenses blacked-out)
augmented with an AutoGage® tachometer and dashtop-mounted
MSD®Shift Light as well as three AutoMeter® engine-monitoring
gauges positioned below the JVC® audio head unit (located in the
factory radio position). HVAC slide-lever controls are stock, and a
grab-bar type shifter (also stock) for the automatic transmission
is console-mounted forward of a lockable storage compartment with
center armrest. The car's trunk includes the aforementioned
supporting audio equipment including a Sony® CD changer. Under the
hood, the 350-cubic-inch V8 features flame-engraved, brushed metal
air-cleaner cover (over an upgraded
