The Seven Best Chevy Camaros Of All Time And The Three Worst

December 15, 2017

1971 Camaro SS

The 1970s were a strange time for Camaros. The second generation featured one of the most stunning looking Camaros, and some of the worst. The former, if you’d not guessed already, is the 1971 Camaro SS. I think this is one of the most beautiful Camaros ever made, boasting Italian-inspired design which makes you drool. Skyrocketing insurance prices mean it didn’t sell too well, and this tragedy was compounded by rising oil prices and a 67 day strike by GM staff.

That’s a genuine tragedy, look at this thing. Its power (or lack of it) hampered it somewhat, but that’s not too big of a concern if you’re interested in making a restomod. The power is supposedly rated at 300 horsepower, but when GM switched to net figures it dipped all the way down to 240. A whole Mini Cooper apparently escaped from the engine, thanks to a change in measurement. That being said however, it would accept a good range of modern engines, or even one from the golden era of the 60s, if you so fancied it. Take this beautiful body and make it the powerhouse it always should have been.
