Wrench Report

By Chris Esparza

RestoMods Head Mechanic. 20 year classic car mechanic & builder.

This 1971 Camaro is easily a clean, well-executed restomod build with a lot to like here for hardcore enthusiasts. The heart of this beast is that Shafiroff 540 big block, and since it's an all-aluminum Brodix setup, you're getting that massive 676 horsepower without the weight penalty of a traditional iron block. It's going to have a real visceral, high-end feel when you're grabbing gears on the TKO600, especially with the 3.90 gears in that Moser 12-bolt ready to plant those Mickey Thompsons. The level of detail here is incredible, from the flush-mounted bumpers and Anvil carbon fiber aero to the Ring Brothers billet pieces that tie the whole look together. Inside, the carbon fiber work and diamond-stitched Corbeau seats give it a modern, aggressive cockpit vibe (perhaps a little more carbon and diamond stitch than I'd prefer personally), but it's the overall mechanical sortedness--like the QA1 double-adjustables and Wilwood 6-pistons--that really makes this car a standout. I would've liked to see a rear coilover swap and A/C on a build of this caliber but you can tell the car does have upgraded leaf springs. The car has a crazy sound system that will probably always compete for noise with that big block, but that comes down to driver preference. Overall, the build quality actually matches the insane spec sheet and that is what wins awards. I mean just look at photo #5 in the gallery, there's a giant car show trophy next to the car. I hope to see Camaro fans raving in the comments for this one.

Description

Originally assembled at the Norwood, Ohio plant, this 1971 Chevy Camaro restomod originally came from the factory as a Sport Coupe with the 307ci small block Turbo-Fire V8 and 3 speed automatic transmission. According to the seller, the car has since gone through substantial restoration and modification that was done sometime between 2016 and 2018 by SC Classics of New York. This Camaro now has a 540ci Shafiroff Racing all-aluminum big block V8 paired to a Tremec TKO600 5-speed manual transmission. The vehicle features a considerable list of other upgrades, such as QA1 double adjustable shocks, Wilwood disc brakes, a Moser 12-bolt rear end, and much more. The seller notes there are only 6,000 miles on the car since the restoration and modification was completed. The car was purchased by the current seller on Bring A Trailer in April of 2023 and is now being offered with a clean Massachusetts title in the seller's name.

The exterior features black stripes over gray paint, a carbon fiber split front bumper, carbon fiber rear bumper, carbon fiber front and rear spoilers, carbon fiber headlight trim, a cowl induction hood and Z/28 badging. All of the exterior lighting has been replaced with Anvil Auto LEDs. Rally style 17" Year One cast aluminum wheels are equipped along with 245/45 Nitto NT555 Extreme front and 305/45 Mickey Thompson ET Street Radial rear tires. Chrome side exit exhaust tips are fitted underneath carbon fiber rocker panels on both sides of the vehicle.

The Shafiroff Racing all-aluminum 540ci V8 features a Brodix aluminum block with forged internals, Brodix aluminum heads and is topped with a Quick Fuel 950 CFM carburetor, altogether pushing the power-plant to 676 horsepower and 669 lb-ft of torque on pump gas. The engine also features an Edelbrock intake manifold, MSD 6AL ignition control module, and Moroso valve covers with the Scott Shafiroff Racing Engines logo engraved. Cooling is provided by an aluminum radiator with an S/P Classics shroud and twin electric puller fans. Power is sent through a Tremec TKO600 5-speed manual and a Moser 12-bolt rear end with 3.90:1 gears.

This Camaro's handling and drivetrain has been upgraded to support the power increase via QA1 double adjustable coilovers in the front end, QA1 Double adjustable shocks with upgraded racing leaf springs in the rear, Detroit Speed subframe connectors, front sway bar, upper and lower control arms, Wilwood 6 piston front and 4 piston rear disc brakes, and a polished aluminum master cylinder and brake booster. Steering is improved with a Borgeson steering box. Also equipped is a 3 inch custom side exit exhaust system with ceramic coated headers.

Inside, there are notable carbon fiber accents throughout supplied by Anvil Auto, including the custom center console, door sills and pillars. Also featured is a Flaming River tilt column with a Spark steering wheel, Corbeau racing seats with diamond stitching matched to the center console. Ringbrothers billet aluminum accents are noted by the seller throughout, such as the shifter handle and window cranks. A custom sound system is equipped and supplied power by dual AGM batteries. The sound system includes a Sony XAV-ax 4000 radio, Kicker CX 525 coax front kicks, CX 692 coax rear deck, JL Audio RD 900.5 amp and 10TW3-4 subwoofer, PAC duel battery solenoid, and JL Audio RCA cables. Custom beauty panels are installed to support the truck & amp rack, and there is a custom switch panel above the radio for the radio, charge system, amp rack LEDs, and the front foot well LEDs. The interior also features a TOMBO drive cam & reverse cam rear view mirror.

Can receipts and build documentation be provided from the builder "SC Classics"

Jcp3 Seller Apr 30, 6:59 am PDT
The Owner of SC passed away a few years ago and the business was closed down. So unfortunately nothing could be found.
highrpm • Apr 29, 5:46 am PDT

The car looks awesome, just on concern. It appears to have original chassis, I am not sure how it can handle the new powertrain upgrade

Jcp3 Seller Apr 29, 9:15 am PDT
Subframe has been reinforced with all Detroit Speed Products. She can handle alot more.

No A/C, correct?

Jcp3 Seller Apr 26, 4:47 pm PDT
No ac. Thought about it. But I never regretted not doing it. The only time I wished I had it, i was stuck in traffic. Then again with a car like this I always picked the proper times for a cruise.
