INTRODUCTION: This is a genuine #s matching SS396, wearing its
factory Tuxedo Black color and backed by outstanding original
documentation, including the Protect-O-Plate, two build sheets, and
more. Even more impressive, it's one of only 1,533 SS396 models
produced in 1971. Fresh from a body off frame, rotisserie
restoration with only 30 miles since completion, this Camaro
presents as virtually brand new from top to bottom.
EXTERIOR: It's a mirror on wheels. Literally every square inch is
laser straight, from the rockers to the roof. The panels fit
beautifully, the doors shut like new, and the body is mint. It was
repainted in its very desirable original Tuxedo Black and polished
so deep you could read a dictionary in the reflection. It features
a rear spoiler, excellent chrome, glass, and weatherstrips, and
correct Rally wheels wrapped in new tires.
INTERIOR: The interior is practically like new and looks the way a
'71 Camaro should. Everything has a fresh, stock appearance with no
modifications. The seats are beautifully restored, the carpet has
been replaced, and the door panels, dash, and trim all present
exceptionally well. The center console houses the automatic
shifter, giving the interior that classic muscle car feel. The dash
area is clean and original in appearance, with crisp gauges and
controls and a rare radio delete. Even the little details look
right, making it feel like you're stepping back into a showroom. Up
above, the headliner fits tight and smooth, completing the fresh,
well restored look.
ENGINE COMPARTMENT: Absolutely fresh engine compartment, and at the
heart of it is the original VIN #s matching 396-300hp motor for
this car. It was just rebuilt 30 miles ago and has all the correct
stock components, including the manifolds, valve covers, air
cleaner assembly, heat riser tube, and proper fuel filter.
Everything is clean and detailed. It features power steering, power
brakes, hooked up washer squirters, and hood insulation. This
engine compartment is fresh, fresh, fresh!
TRUNK COMPARTMENT: A gas strut smoothly lifts the trunk lid, and
the underside of the lid and the jamb are just as slick as the
body. Inside, the trunk is spotless metal with a neatly applied
spatter finish throughout. Not cutting corners, it even features a
matching Rally wheel wrapped with a matching new tire for a spare
along with a new jack assembly. The weatherstrip has been replaced
completing the detailed presentation.
UNDERSIDE: Underneath this Camaro looks practically brand new-
because it practically is! There are fewer than 25 miles on a
complete nut and bolt, body off frame, rotisserie restoration. The
steering and suspension systems have been completely rebuilt and
detailed, and the brake system has been thoroughly restored with
front disc brakes, new hoses, new lines, and a new e-brake
assembly. The fuel system has also been completely replaced,
including the tank and fuel lines. It retains the factory correct
dual exhaust system with the transverse muffler. Looking up at the
engine, everything is spotless, right down to the Chevy Orange
paint. It features a new fuel pump, new starter, and flywheel
cover. The VIN #-matching Turbo 400 automatic transmission is fresh
as well, and a rebuilt driveshaft connects to the original rear end
equipped with 3.42 gears. The floors are absolutely rust free and
smooth, finished in semi-gloss black just as they should be.
Everywhere you look underneath, the attention to detail is
obvious.
