Hey gang, just signed up thought I'd drop in and say hi.
Picked up a 71 Camaro recently as a keep me busy all winter project.
Been up to my elbows in grease and simple green getting her cleaned up, so far it's been fun.
I dare not say what model it is. Title didn't say so I'm not either. Welcome to make suggestion but I have NO idea. It's a 1971 with a V8 and auto trans,that all i know so far.
Hope to find out more as I go.


Thanks!

Thanks guys.

Looked really awful when I picked it up and brought it home. Last good cleaning was propbply sometime in the eightys.

Not a pretty sight. But... getting there.
Not quite a hazmat situation anymore, engine cleaned up and tuned up nicely. No sludge in the oil or rust in the coolant, thank god!
interior needs a third foaming and vacume but getting better every time.

Thanks gang.
Looking forward to getting some serious work done this winter.
I'm sure I'll have plenty of questions along the way. Camaro is an all new platform for me.
Been building Jeeps and motorcycles for off road for decades but never built a muscle car before.
