1971
The overall design of the 1971 Camaro remained basically unchanged.
The 1971 Camaro received a different front seat from the 1970. It was a high back bucket like the Vega seat. The Z28 retained the
6500 RPM red line.
A front spoiler was added to the D80 package. Both the short, one piece rear spoiler and the tall, 3 piece spoiler and the taller 3 piece were available again for 1971, but most 1971 cars had the 3 piece. Engine compression was down from 1970 so all engines would use regular grade gasoline.
A UAW strike stopped production of the 1971 from Sept-Nov 1970.
The 12 bolt rear end was no longer used in the Camaro. 1971 Engines
