Vehicle Description
This 1971 Chevrolet Camaro SS 396 big-block coupe has been
professionally restored to original factory specifications. This
Camaro has been completely documented by Jerry MacNeish's Camaro
Hi-Performance, Inc., as having its matching-numbers engine,
transmission, Q-jet carburetor, alternator and rear differential.
The 1971 Camaro was the final year for the LS3 396ci big-block
engine. Only 1,533 examples were produced and, of those, this is
one of only 233 produced with the available 4-speed Muncie M20
transmission. The factory Build Sheet and original Window Sticker
are provided to document these RPO production numbers. The car has
undergone a complete body-off restoration with the single intent of
bringing this car back to day-one standards. The original Placer
Gold was also meticulously sprayed, as well as the factory red
primer floors. The original black standard interior was
reupholstered and used in the build as well. It is worth noting
that, during the restoration project, the original engine did
receive extensive refurbishing. The original engine block,
crankshaft and cylinder heads were reconditioned, the flywheel was
resurfaced and the Quadrajet carburetor was reconditioned.
Internally the engine received all new components, including
pistons, piston rings, bearings, camshaft, timing chain and gears,
oil pump, oil pressure sending unit, push rods, GM hoses, GM fan
belts, radiator, heater hoses, vacuum lines, engine wire harness,
clutch, pressure plate, throw-out bearing, fuel tank and lines,
fuel pump, and new engine and transmission mounts. The braking,
steering and suspension components have been totally rebuilt using
new products. There are several photos, receipts and original
factory documents that will accompany the car.
