This 1971 Chevrolet Camaro Pro-Touring is a full-send second-gen
build with the look, power, stance, and hardware to back it up.
Finished in deep Green over a Black interior, this Camaro has the
presence of a show car with the mechanical package of a serious
street machine.
Under the hood is a 408 Stroker LS engine topped with a 2.9L
Whipple supercharger and electronic fuel injection. Behind it is a
freshly built TH400 automatic transmission with a Hughes 3000 stall
converter, sending power to a Dutchman-built 9-inch rear end with
Moser 35-spline axles and a Wavetrac posi unit.
The foundation is just as serious. This Camaro features a Speedtech
ExtReme chassis/subframe and Speedtech ExtReme Torque Arm kit,
giving it a true Pro-Touring platform instead of just bolt-on
upgrades. Add in big Baer 4-wheel disc brakes, power steering, mini
tubs, staggered Billet Specialties wheels, Toyo Proxes tires,
Vintage Air, Dakota Digital gauges, TMI interior, and a 3-inch
stainless Borla exhaust, and you have one extremely well-rounded
build.

Exterior
The exterior has the right attitude from every angle.
Finished in deep Green with gray accent striping, this Camaro has a
clean but aggressive Pro-Touring look. The paint has a rich
metallic appearance, and the contrasting hood and decklid treatment
gives the car a custom performance feel without taking away from
the classic second-generation Camaro body lines.
Up front, the car features a custom grille, Dapper headlights,
updated lighting, and a front splitter. The cowl hood gives the car
a muscular profile and hints at the boosted LS combination
underneath.
Out back, the spoiler, custom taillight treatment, wide rear
stance, and tucked wheel setup complete the look. It is low, wide,
and aggressive - exactly how a Pro-Touring Camaro should sit.
Wheels & Stance
The stance is one of the first things you notice.
This Camaro rides on staggered Billet Specialties wheels with
19-inch wheels up front and 20-inch wheels in the rear. The rear
has been mini-tubbed, allowing for a much wider tire package and
giving the car that planted, modern Pro-Touring look.
The Toyo Proxes performance tires fill the wheel wells properly,
and the red Baer calipers behind the wheels add the perfect
contrast. The car sits low, wide, and purposeful without looking
overdone.
Interior
The interior keeps things clean, functional, and
performance-focused.
Inside, you'll find a Black TMI interior with upgraded bucket
seats, a finished rear seat area, roll bar, and harnesses. The
cockpit has the right balance of classic Camaro feel and modern
usability.
Dakota Digital gauges give the driver a clean readout, while the
Flaming River tilt column and custom steering wheel modernize the
driving position. The custom center console with cup holders adds
convenience, and Vintage heat and air keeps the cabin comfortable
with cold A/C and hot heat.
This is the type of interior you want in a Pro-Touring build -
clean, comfortable, and ready to drive.
Engine & Drivetrain
This Camaro is powered by a 408 Stroker LS engine topped with a
2.9L Whipple supercharger.
The engine bay is clean and purposeful, with electronic fuel
injection, modern accessories, and a serious boosted LS setup
sitting front and center. The 408/Whipple combination gives this
car the kind of torque, throttle response, and power delivery that
makes it much more than a cruiser.
Backing the engine is a freshly built TH400 automatic transmission
paired with a Hughes 3000 stall converter. Out back is a
Dutchman-built 9-inch rear end with Moser 35-spline axles and a
Wavetrac posi unit.
That is the right drivetrain recipe for a car with this level of
power: simple, strong, and built to handle it.
A stainless 3-inch Borla exhaust system with Borla ProXS mufflers
gives the car the sound to match the build. It has the deep,
aggressive tone you want from a supercharged LS Camaro.
Chassis & Suspension
The chassis setup is what separates this car from a typical
restomod.
This Camaro is equipped with the Speedtech ExtReme chassis/subframe
and Speedtech ExtReme Torque Arm kit. That is a major upgrade and
gives the car a much more serious foundation than a factory-style
subframe setup.
The Speedtech ExtReme platform improves rigidity, suspension
geometry, handling, and overall road feel. It gives the car the
confidence and capability expected from a true Pro-Touring build,
not just a classic with modern wheels.
The mini-tubbed rear, torque arm setup, Dutchman-built 9-inch rear,
and wide rear tire package all work together to help put the power
down properly.
Steering & Brakes
Power steering makes this Camaro easy to manage, especially with
the wide wheel and tire package.
Braking is handled by big Baer 4-wheel disc brakes with drilled and
slotted rotors. The red calipers look great behind the Billet
Specialties wheels, but more importantly, they give the car the
stopping power needed for this level of performance.
This car has the power, but it also has the chassis and brakes to
support it.
This is not a stock Camaro with a few upgrades. This is a properly
built Pro-Touring car with serious money spent in the right places.
It is aggressive without being overdone, modern without losing its
classic identity, and powerful enough to make every drive feel
special.
This 1971 Chevrolet Camaro Pro-Touring is built to be shown,
driven, and enjoyed.
