There is so much info (and photos) needed to ballpark a value on a car like this. Trim level, engine/trans, numbers matching? condition of body, frame and interior..... this list goes on and on.

91000 miles. paint and engine redone over 10 years ago. car just sits. started up once a year from what I was told.
underside is fine. diff leaking,tires old,brakes junk,windshield broken. was told engine and trans fine but we could not drive her since battery dead.
don't think engine original to body.

Car needs a TON of work I would say $5,000 to $6,000 maximum from what I see in the pics. and from what I hear from you describing said Camaro.

Those early second gens are going up in value and are tough to find. The pics aren't the best but if you take all the 80's disco crap off it and redo the seats it doesn't look like a bad car.

A door skin is easy and as long as the inner and outer quarters are good and the area around the back glass - it's a nice car to start with. The repair near the door on the quarter is the only think I don't like.

Check the frame near the rear wheels - they rotted there often.

Just check the VIN. I'd be all over that car if it's a real Z28, and has the original motor. I noticed it doesn't even have headers, so it may be original; easy to check.

Impossible to tell by the vin if it is a Z28 or not, as there was no indicator in the vin for that package. Have no idea why anyone would take a Z28 and make it not look like a Z28, so I'd bet it's not a Z28.

Vin: The 4 means it was a V8 car., the second "1" means 1971, The N =Norwood, Ohio plant, and the 6684 means it was the 6684th Camaro built in 1971.

There's way more clones than actual Z28s, and that spoiler is from the limited prod. 70 MY.

Easiest way to check is to find the trim tag-below windshield on cowl- and if it is a Norwood car it'll say. Van Nys cars don't denote Z/28 specification.
