Vehicle Description
This 1969 Chevrolet Camaro was completely fabricated and customized
front to rear, inside to underside. It was purpose-built to achieve
certain performance levels and aesthetics and was featured at the
2016 SEMA Show. It started as a Camaro SS before the body was
removed from the original chassis and turned into a full
Pro-Touring build. The only remaining stock and original parts are
the body panels; every other component has been replaced, modified
and custom-built. It's powered by a 6.2-liter LS3 V8 engine with
twin Turbonetics turbochargers producing 652hp at the rear wheels.
The V8 features a high-lift camshaft and valve springs,
powder-coated black Holley Sniper anodized fuel rails and a K&N
filter element. The car has a very conservative tune with 15
degrees of timing and 8 psi of boost. The engine is paired with a
T56 6-speed manual transmission with a Z06 hydraulic clutch. It
features custom handcrafted headers and multiple mechanical
modifications, including handcrafted header flanges with 1.750
runners, CNC billet 304 SS badge, custom stainless-steel fuel tank
with an electric fuel pump system and Turbonetics TNX billet
compressor. A Bosch water pump for the intercooler sends the water
to the intake, then returns off the back of the intake and routes
to the front of the car to a mini radiator with a 7-inch electric
fan, then to the anodized tank. It features a March Performance
serpentine belt, Griffin aluminum radiator and black braided hoses.
The valve covers had the lugs milled off, the voids were welded and
10 bungs were placed for ventilation. The suspension and rear end
comprise Detroit Speed tubular A-arms, Hotchkis 1-inch sway bar,
Wilwood 4-wheel disc brakes and calipers, Currie 9-inch mini-tub
rear end with Moser 33-spline axles and powder-coated
undercarriage. The undercarriage is non-factory with
custom-fabricated and color-matched components. A custom air-ride
suspension with Firestone airbags and custom brackets to
accommodate the larger rear tires was also installed. The exterior
is equipped with shaved door handles, custom LED side marker
lights, billet hood hinges, flush-mounted front and rear bumpers
and a 5% visibility window tint on all glass. The interior includes
custom-trimmed, stitched and perforated leather door panels and
seats, kick and rear panels, rear bucket seats, leather headliner
and leather-wrapped dash pad and a push-button start ignition,
black AutoMeter gauges with red numbers and a 1,500-watt JL Audio
system. It rides on custom Colorado wheels. From the Prestige
Collection.
