Vehicle Description
As a car enthusiast, you already know modern technology allows us
to transform vintage platforms into incredible performance
machines. But you probably don't realize the extent to which those
machines are built. In what amounts to literally buying a car and
sending it directly to a reputable shop, you can have a classic
that feels just as comfortable, performs just as well and looks
twice as nice as any showroom new equivalent. That's exactly what
happened with this insane Camaro pro-tourer. Born from universal
appeal and broad aftermarket support, this sinister coupe is a
virtual tour de force of proven mechanicals. And with a clean body
that's dropped on a custom suspension, fitted with a leather-lined
interior and bolted to a twin-turbo small block, it's the kind of
killer classic that makes factory-fresh bowties shake in their
run-flats. If you're shopping for some fully-sorted muscle that
puts a modern twist on an old school favorite, you're looking at
your next car!
BODYWORK/TRIM
The beneficiary of a professional, frame-off restoration, this
slick '69 Camaro features a seamless coat of DuPont ChromaPremier
99K that's highlighted by a sweet pair of pearl rally stripes. Take
one look down the sides of the car's rock-solid body and it becomes
very obvious that great care was taken to ensure every panel is
aligned to better-than-factory standards. Step closer to that
body's mirror-like pigment and check out its straight and
ripple-free surfaces, which are a product of both clean OEM
sheetmetal and high quality replacement panels. Grab the pivotal
pieces of that well-adjusted sheetmetal and experience the kind of
excellent fit that's right at home reflecting a summertime car
show. Then step back to admire one very well-done pro-tourer that's
built to exacting specifications thanks to a great combination of
skilled workmanship and first-rate finishing techniques.
On the sacred tree of hot rodding, pro-touring foliage, along with
its pro-street brethren, often receives the brightest light. That
means high end, high profile cars must have exceptional looks to
back up their big claims. And nowhere is that dedicated attention
to aesthetics more prevalent than this Camaro's top notch
detailing. At the front of the coupe's body, a glossy grille hangs
a familiar "RS" emblem between vacuum-operated headlights, a
show-chromed bumper and modern parking lamps. Above that grille, a
traditional cowl induction hood leads the eye to smoked glass
that's framed in straight stainless trim, traced by body-matched
drip rails and flanked by F2 sport mirrors. At the sides of that
hood, bold "RS" brandings and bright GM door handles combine with
optional RS louvers and billet marker lamps to add just the right
amount of flash to a tough profile. And at the back of the car, a
small "HARDCORE" script hangs between flush taillights, a D80
spoiler, a second show-chromed bumper and a slightly modified roll
pan.
ENGINE
Gaze upon this Chevy's smoothed engine bay and you'll find 392
cubic inches of stroked and twin-turbocharged fury! Professionally
assembled by the folks at Speedsouth Active Power Racing, this
serene mill is capable of producing 1,200 horsepower right off the
showroom floor. At the top of the buff black block, fresh K&N
filters pipe wind into polished, crisscrossed and TiAL-supported
turbos that storm F.A.S.T. XFI fuel injection. That perfect
air/fuel mixture falls into an Edelbrock Victor E intake that's
bolted between free-flowing heads and polished valve covers. At the
back of those heads, a quality MSD distributor sequences fire
between an MSD 6AL box, an MSD Blaster 2 coil and familiar Taylor
plug wires. At the sides of those wires, ceramic coated headers
funnel spent gases into large-diameter tail pipes. And in front of
those headers, a beefy Ron Davis radiator, which is sandwiched
between a polished overflow tank, a snazzy cowl and two electric
puller fans, circulates water past a mirrored March serpentine
system. While this engine's main purpose is to go straight at a
very high rate of speed, it's still very impressive to look at. And
accessories like Painless wiring, braided hoses, AN fittings and
chrome hood supports ensure it'll wow showgoers and gearheads
alike.
DRIVETRAIN/SUSPENSION
Take a gander under this wicked F-Body and you'll find a fully
detailed chassis that mixes new age technology with old school
durability. Rock-solid floorpans wear a smooth coat of DuPont
ChromaPremier and, save for hours of buffing, are every bit as nice
as the car's first rate exterior. At the center of those floors, a
turbo-friendly Turbo-Hydramatic 400 3-speed hangs a polished
B&M pan between a polished flywheel cover and remote, finned
cooler. Nail the gas and a narrowed 12-bolt spins power through a
posi-trac differential and Moser 4.11 gears. Stopping is a cinch
thanks to a hydra-boosted Wilwood system, which mixes four polished
calipers with four drilled and slotted rotors. Exhaust is handled
by 3-inch, ceramic coated pipes that swirl spent gases through an
X-shaped crossover, polished Magnaflows and large-diameter
turndowns. At the front of the car, a Detroit Speed suspension
system mixes modern power steering with tubular control arms and
VariShock coil-overs. At the back of the car, a rugged 4-link
suspension mixes high quality mini tubs with two more VariShock
coil-overs. And torque melts the pavement thanks to striking Asanti
wheels which spin 245/35ZR19 and 345/25ZR20 Nitto Invos around
painted spokes and pearled lips. As you can tell by our pictures,
not a detail was missed on this Chevy's fully-sorted undercarriage.
And every part, from its Moroso oil pan and proven Powermaster
starter to its custom fuel tank and polished differential cover,
has been carefully planned and professionally executed.
INTERIOR
Behind this Camaro's solid-closing doors you'll find a $24K Paul
Atkins interior that wraps firm leather buckets in high style and
rich comfort. At the front of the car, a custom, suede-topped dash
hangs a slick set of Auto Meter Phantom gauges above a premium JVC
audio system, Vintage Air climate control and pushbutton ignition.
Below that dash, a custom console, which is loosely based on GM's
factory-correct piece, anchors a short shifter behind Auto Meter
Phantom accessory gauges. Below that console, high quality carpet
rides between billet foot pedals, custom sill plates and thick,
"RS" branded floor mats. At the sides of that carpet, suede-topped
door panels twist small chrome handles in front of big speakers,
aluminum pulls and integrated puddle lamps. Above those panels, a
supple suede headliner centers a chrome mirror between suede
A-pillars, suede sail panels and small courtesy lamps. In front of
the driver, a snazzy Momo Nero wheel spins a flat-bottom rim around
a satin-finished tilt steering column. And behind the passengers, a
custom package tray hangs big speakers over a classy, custom
upholstered trunk.
