1971 Chevrolet Camaro
The 1971 Chevrolet Camaro was Identical to the 1970 model in appearance
with the exception of changes to the rear sets (now high back).
However, there were big changes under the hood as new emissions
legislation were coming into effect. This was the beginning to the
end of the traditional Camaro muscle car. Compression ratios were
dropped in all motors resulting in much lower power ratings.
Models:
SS: Super sport package - originally offered with standard 350 motor.
Model is denoted with SS trim markings in the blacked out grill
and dual chrome exhaust. The 396 cars had a heavy duty suspension.
RS: This package was primarily cosmetic. It is identified by the
