Vehicle Description

Wow! This car received a beyond meticulous, frame off rotisserie restoration! Every single nut, bolt and screw is brand new! Even details that you can't see were completed with great detail! For example, a water blasted and zinc coated body! Or the fact that the seat frames have been sandblasted and painted! If you are fussy or picky look no further this Camaro is undoubtedly for you!

EXTERIOR: Wow! The body on this car is well above average! Let's start with what you can't see. The right and left fenders have been replaced with new old stock original units as well as the cowl induction hood. The entire body was water blasted then zinc coated. It was repainted it's original Grotto Blue color which is laid out evenly then a urethane clear coat which is polished like glass. The fit and alignment of all the body panels is exceptional. The doors literally closed like a new car. It has new glass all the way around. It also has new weatherstrips. All of the chrome and stainless is show quality. The bumpers are originals that were given show chrome, the bumper brackets were powder coated. I love the modern version of the SS wheels! They are 18 inch billet wheels wrapped in performance redline tires. It has a clean look without spoilers and stripes, of course those could be added if you wanted.

INTERIOR: Wow! This is essentially a brand new interior with a vintage look. First thing that draws my attention is the genuine white leather upholstery with houndstooth inserts. The seats and door panels are custom made with precision stitching, firm cushions and no wrinkles. It also adds an element of class to this muscle car that you don't see very often. And don't forget all the seat frames have been sandblasted and painted before upholstery. Continuing the list of new items, they include: headliner, carpeting, visors, mirror, handles, vents, knobs, console, shifter, dash pad etc. It even has an all new wiring harness throughout the car. New deluxe steering wheel on a tilt wheel. New reproduction seatbelts. It has complete set of new factory gauges including a tachometer. Upgraded with a Vintage Air heater control panel and an AM-FM retro with new speakers. Comfortable and luxurious are words that nicely summarize this interior!

ENGINE COMPARTMENT: Wow! This is a picture perfect engine bay! The correct 327 engine was completely rebuilt with forged pistons and hardened valve seats for unleaded gas. It has double hump heads, and the original Quadrajet 4 barrel carb was restored. The original exhaust manifolds were sandblasted and ceramic heat coated in the correct factory color. Many powder coated parts. It has finned aluminum Chevrolet script valve covers. It has been upgraded with a new Vintage Air heat and AC system. The alternator is also upgraded to a high output model which accommodates the electric cooling module. All the belts, hoses and wires are also new. The radiator has been upgraded to a nice aluminum unit with electric fans. The original exhaust manifolds were sandblasted and ceramic heat coated in the correct factory color. Upgraded billet hinges work smoothly. The firewall has been made smooth; the entire engine bay is painted in the correct black satin. Features include power steering and power brakes. It has a Delco battery topper and spring clamp cables. The vacuum headlight door system is all new. Squirters are hooked up. This engine bay is beyond remarkable!

TRUNK COMPARTMENT: Wow! Lifting the trunk, you will see the attention to detail continues. The underside of the lid has been painted and polished to look just like the body. Factory correct warning stickers were added for an even more authentic look. The weather stripping is brand new. The trunk pan metal is extremely clean and looks like it rolled off the showroom floor. It has been sprayed with the correct color trunks spatter which was neatly applied. I love everything about this car including the trunk!

UNDERSIDE: Wow! Absolutely better than new underneath! Let's start with the power steering gearbox which was completely rebuilt and powder coated the factory color as well as the steering knuckles. Next let's talk suspension which is all new in the front including: control arms, tie rods, sway bar, coil springs etc. They were all also powder coated the factory color. The rear leaf springs are brand new and have been powder coated also. All the shocks were replaced with original new old stock Chevrolet units. The brake system is all new, disc in front. New calipers, booster, lines, e-brake, and all hardware. It also has a new stainless steel dual exhaust system with polished Magnaflow mufflers, and an X-Pipe that has clean and beautiful welds. This thing sounds amazing! A new gas tank and hardware has been installed. The sending unit and fuel pump are also new. Looking up at the engine is gives me a satisfied feeling! It is completely rebuilt, looks extremely fresh and has no visible leaks. The transmission is a Turbo 350 that was completely rebuilt and looks amazing with no visible leaks. It is mated to a powder coated and balanced drive shaft. That is attached to a completely rebuilt and powder coated 10 bolt posi rear end with 4.11 gears. The subframe was sandblasted and powder coated the factory correct semi-gloss black. Also, the floors were water blasted and painted the correct satin black. This undercarriage is truly as good as they get!

Wow! This entire car front to back, side to side, is truly a site for sore eyes! The high-quality workmanship and extreme attention to detail leave this Camaro in a class of its own. You could spend $100,000 restoring your Camaro and it probably won't be as nice as this one!
