1971 Chevrolet CamaroHugger Orange Pro-Touring Restomod
Some classic cars are simply restored. Others are completely reimagined.
This 1971 Chevrolet Camaro pairs the timeless second-generation body with modern LS performance, premium suspension and brakes, a custom TMI interior, and a spectacular Alpine audio installation. Finished in Hugger Orange with white racing stripes, it looks as good parked at a car show as it does cruising down the highway.
