1981 Chevrolet Camaro Reviews, Pricing & Specs

Love the sound and feel of this beauty. T-tops out and the pedal down is the only way to go with this one. Styling is spot on, performance could be better but emissions had bleed her dry by 81. Not everyones dream car, was not even mine until I saw her and it was love at first sight. 350 cubic inches and 4 speed trans are a great way to melt away a stressful day.Jan 31, 2015

It's a Camaro. What does one expect out of it??? The stock 350 c.i. motor was bewildered by OPEC and other regulations. It feels as if it's missing something. If well maintained, it's a beautiful car that will be reliable to one's owner. The stock interior is gorgeous. The big-bodied design is the last year Chevrolet had the style in production. Truly immaculate design for an American Muscle car. The car is fun to be in because it will always turn heads. Oct 05, 2009

Love this car But Love the 1969 z28 better. This car has 5.7l 350 330hp Turbo 350 Trans with Shift kit 373 posi. Body is still org but was repainted 20 yrs ago. Under the hood is a $$$$$$$$ of chrome The motor and wheel wells are all the same colour as the car dark blue. This car is a riot to drive.Is stored every winter. Because of the 373 posi the gas go fast. Would love to beef up to 450hp Dec 31, 2008

I picked up this modified 1981 Z28 from a friend as part of a trade on my 1985 Grand National. It was a completely rebuilt-with mods - engine, gears and a gorgeous reflective 2 shade paint - copper/burgundy. I had a couple of tours with it, but of course, as is the case with many - I was working long hours and never got to take it out. It sat for a whole summer in my driveway and deserved better attn. I sold this to another friend in the fall and still regret that - it was one of the best modified 1981 Z28's out there. The prior owner had put ALOT of money into it. The current owner is local and enjoys this car in the summer. Bummer for me - good for him.Oct 17, 2008

Pretty much a tank of a car that was limited due to government regulations. Loved this car. Perfect for a 16 year old kid to own and learn to drive clutch on. Put a little money into the car to get it inspected and on the road....but nothing to be too concerned about. Wish I could have kept this car longer, but mother nature was determined to do otherwise.

My car is better than yours in every way imaginable not to brag or anything. Its fast, good looking, sounds nice, and its a collectable! Sure it dosnt get you as far on a gallon of gas but it gets you there faster and in better style. I cant say enough about how many heads turn to look at my car, and how many couldnt keep up to bask in its amazing beauty.Jul 14, 2008

I love my 1981 Chevy Camaro Z28 with its georgeus t-top white pait with red Z28 strips and air induction hood. The interior is half red cloth and half vynal. Under the hood we have a 5.7 letr 350 V8 lm-1 engin with a four barrle holly carborator and duel exsaust. it har a four speed automatic (you couldent get the 350 with a stick.) ... And guess what its NEVER going to be on sail... HAHA Jul 02, 2008

1981 was the last year for the second generation of the Camaro, and the last year that the Camaro would look decent for about 15 years. The 1981 Camaro Z28 came with a 350 with 175 bhp, but don't let that fool you, as any should know a 350 was only regarded as a mouse motor in GM racing history but are well known for their racing quality and ease to reach high performance.Jan 08, 2008
