Protoform 1971 Chevrolet Camaro Z28 bodyshell

Protoform 1971 Chevrolet Camaro Z28 bodyshell-1

Protoform have introduced the 1971 Chevrolet Camaro Z28 bodyshell for the VTA and other vintage touring car classes. One of the iconic cars of its generation, the Z28 tore up both the streets and Trans-Am series tracks with pure American V8 power. In true Super Chevy style, Protoform replicated the distinctive “split-bumper” configuration along with all the other signature Z28 design details for an exceptionally scale look. For the first time in PF’s VTA body lineup, the Z28 is formed from a single piece of genuine Lexan and requires no assembly. An all-new moulding process developed by the engineers at Protoform has allowed to capture realistic front and rear undercuts on the Z28 without the need for an add-on nose piece. The officially-licensed product meets all VTA Class rules and includes a detailed decal sheet, protective overspray film and window masks.
