My best christmas present ever - Camaro5 Chevy Camaro Forum / Camaro ZL1, SS and V6 Forums

I got a 1971 Camaro

It's not a SS or Z28 unfortunately (if it was i wouldn't have gotten it) but it does have a 350 w/turbo 350. only has 3 bad rust spots: back of the trunk has the biggest hole which is probably about the size of my KRZR, the pass. side has a hole probably just big enough to drive a hot wheel through, and the driver side has a hole the size of a dime. It needs a few exterior parts like the 1/4 panel pieces of spoiler, mirrors, 2 of the windows, and front rear window trim. oh, and the odometer reset right before it was parked so it only looks like it has 5886 miles

started scraping paint off of it today

IT LOOKS LIKE A GREAT PROJECT TO START AND TO COMPLETE.

I WISH I HAD IT

GREAT Christmas present!!!

The 2nd Gen. Camaro's are gaining alot in popularity.

And although I will always love '67 through '69 Camaro's, the number of them increases by the day.

Your '71 will be a really nice Camaro with a little TLC.

Wasn't too long ago that 2nd gens got NO respect for their look. Now 3rd gens are the "ugly" camaros to the majority (not me, for the record...all my Camaros have been 3rd gens).

In other words, congrats and keep us updated on your progress!!

don't think that'll be a problem, might get slow until i get my 300 finished and sold but hopefully that won't take long
