CHEVROLET CAMARO Z/28 — 1971 Big Block 396 ci
"SUPER HUGGER" — AMERICA'S MUSCULAR ICON
An American legend with an authentic character.
Introduced in 1970, the second-generation Chevrolet Camaro marked a new chapter in the history of American pony cars. Longer, more sculpted, and with refined handling, it embodied Chevrolet’s commitment to combining power, sportiness, and driving pleasure.
Nicknamed the “Super Hugger,” this generation of Camaro boasts one key quality: its ability to hug the road and deliver a precise, balanced ride.
The Z/28: The Spirit of Competition
The 1971 Camaro Z/28 holds a special place in the model’s history. Inspired by Chevrolet’s commitment to racing, it stands out for its sporty character, its finely tuned chassis, and its instantly recognizable visual identity.
Its architecture combines a monocoque structure with a front subframe, an independent front suspension with wishbones and coil springs, and a rear axle suspended by leaf springs.
Chevrolet engineers have refined the steering, braking, and overall balance to create a car that is as enjoyable on the road as it is impressive during spirited driving.
A timeless design
With its long hood, muscular silhouette, taut lines, and decidedly sporty stance, the Camaro Z/28 embodies the aesthetic of the great American sports cars of the early 1970s.
Every detail evokes an era when mechanical engineering, character, and the driving experience took center stage in the automotive world.
A Piece of American Automotive History
The 1971 Chevrolet Camaro Z/28 is much more than just a classic car: it embodies an iconic era in the American automotive industry, marked by a pursuit of performance, bold styling, and a passion for spirited driving.
The “Super Hugger”: an American legend built to hug the road, a sports car with character, and a timeless icon.
The second-generation chassis and suspension were refined and improved in terms of performance and comfort; the base models offered significant advancements in soundproofing, insulation, and handling. The extensive experience gained by Chevrolet engineers during the first generation also led directly to improvements in steering, braking, and handling for the second-generation Camaro[4]. High-performance configurations were initially available
Starting in 1970, the big-block V8 was introduced (nominally 6.5 L, actually 6.6 L), but Chevrolet decided to keep the 396 badges for its models, which were equipped with a single, very large ROCHESTER QUADRAJET (4-barrel) carburetor that produced 380 ch (280 kW) at 5,600 rpm and 563 N·m of torque at 3,600 rpm
Mechanically speaking, the car we are offering for sale has undergone extensive work performed by professionals, including a complete overhaul of the engine, transmission, rear axle, brakes, and suspension, as well as replacement of the viscous coupling.
Fully overhauled 396 ci (6.6-liter) V8 engine, new 5-speed TREMEC transmission that’s much better suited to the car and offers better fuel economy.
Cooling system replaced with a new one, featuring a 28-inch high-capacity radiator.
Custom exhaust system with brand-new stainless steel mufflers—it sounds great!!
Front disc brakes with Master-Vac (brake assist) and 4 new tires
As for the body, the car is in very good condition; the paint is about thirty years old and therefore has a few minor imperfections, but nothing alarming. The chassis is in very good condition, with no obvious signs of accidents or impacts, and no rust—neither through-corrosion nor surface rust.
The black vinyl interior is in very good condition, and all the gauges on the dashboard are working perfectly.
Vehicle in stock at our garage, sold with a French "collection" registration certificate, a clean technical inspection record, and a 12-month warranty covering the engine, transmission, and rear axle.
