LS3-Powered 1971 Chevrolet Camaro Coupe

This 1971 Chevrolet Camaro coupe was extensively modified by the seller’s shop around 2021, featuring a 6.2-liter LS3 crate V8 engine equipped with a Holley accessory drive, a ported throttle body, and long-tube headers connected to Borla mufflers. Power is delivered through a four-speed automatic transmission to a 9″ rear end, while the vehicle rides on a custom Roadster Shop chassis with adjustable coilovers. The Camaro is fitted with 18″ Torq Thrust wheels and Wilwood four-wheel disc brakes. The exterior boasts a metallic green finish with black stripes, Z28 badging, front and rear spoilers, and a split front bumper. Inside, the tan vinyl-trimmed cabin includes air conditioning, a JVC head unit, Dakota Digital gauges, and a horseshoe-style shifter in the center console. The car is offered by the seller with build documentation and a transferable New York registration.

The body is finished in metallic green with black stripes and includes a split front bumper, sport mirrors, and Z/28 badging. Some imperfections like grille surround cracks and scratches on the side glass are noted. Images of touch-up work on paint chips are available in the gallery.

The chassis, sourced from Roadster Shop, is claimed to be the first of its kind sold for this application. It features adjustable coilovers, a four-link rear suspension with a panhard bar, and a power rack-and-pinion steering system from GM.

The Camaro rides on 18″ American Racing Torq Thrust wheels paired with Nitto NT555 G2 tires. Braking is handled by Wilwood disc brakes with six-piston front and four-piston rear calipers over drilled and slotted rotors, alongside an electronic parking brake.

The tan vinyl interior is complemented by brown carpeting, a Vintage Air climate system, and a JBL Bluetooth head unit mounted on the center console. A push-button AM radio, trunk-mounted amplifier, and various scratches on the trim are also noted. The aftermarket steering wheel sits on a Flaming River tilt column, and the dash houses Dakota Digital RetroTech instrumentation. The dashboard around the instrument cluster shows some wear, and the digital odometer reads 316 miles, though total mileage is unknown.

The LS3 V8, painted orange before installation, comes with a GM Connect & Cruise wiring harness, a custom air intake, and a Holley accessory drive. According to a 2021 dynamometer report, the engine produces 396 horsepower and 397 lb-ft of torque.

The powertrain includes a 4L65E four-speed automatic transmission connected to a narrowed 9″ rear end with 31-spline axles and a TrueTrac limited-slip differential. Additional features include a Derale transmission cooler, a fabricated fuel cell, and Borla ProXS mufflers linked to stainless-steel exhaust piping.

The vehicle is sold without a title, as it is from a state that doesn’t issue titles for cars of its age. It is being sold with a transferable New York registration.
