Vehicle Description
For most enthusiasts, the privilege of owning a classic car isn't
about numbers or return on investment. It's about heading out on
the weekend and having a little bit of fun. It's about making a
statement and turning heads. It's about the excitement of putting
the wind in their face and the roar of an American V8 at their
back. That's why rides like this awesome Camaro have such a loyal
following. Sure, you'll probably see another one at the show. And
it might not turn into a six-figure asset over the next decade.
But, it's cool, it's stylish, it's unique and, most importantly, it
provides a whole lot of enjoyment! Want to make it yours? Your
friends at RK Motors Charlotte are happy to help!
BODYWORK/TRIM
Primped, polished and ready to roll, this awesome Chevy is the
beneficiary of a detailed, ground-up restoration that was completed
in late 2011. When the car's body was solid and smooth, Daytona
Yellow 2-stage led hours of careful color-sanding. When that
sanding was glossy and level, a fresh vinyl roof followed Tuxedo
Black Super Sport stripes. And today, this Camaro rolls as a
top-notch classic that preserves some of the best attributes of
storied Chevrolet history!
With balanced proportions and crisp detailing, the first-generation
Camaro is an inherently good-looking design. At the front of this
coupe, a Satin Black grille hangs traditional headlights and a
bright "SS" emblem above a polished bumper and clean parking lamps.
At the top of that grille, a Camaro-branded header leads the eye to
a familiar Super Sport hood, which is founded on tinted,
stainless-trimmed glass. At the sides of that hood, a sculpted
profile centers polished door handles, correct mirrors and ornate
quarter louvers between factory emblems, stainless rocker spears
and small marker lamps. And at the back of that profile, a Satin
Black valance anchors factory taillights and a second "SS" badge
between a requisite deck spoiler and a second polished bumper.
ENGINE
In its heyday, Chevrolet's 396 cubic inch big block played the role
of all things to all people. Introduced in 1965, it was marketed as
a top-of-the-line performance offering in Chevrolet's Corvette
line, was widely used in Chevy's immensely popular Chevelle line,
and even found its way under the hood of tough Chevrolet trucks.
Stare in to this panther's smooth engine bay and you'll find a
polished and painted 396 that, during the car's detailed
restoration, was bored .060 over, fitted with forged TRW pistons
and fully rebuilt. Power originates when wind whips through remote
air cones to a coated Spectre plenum, which rides a 750cfm Holley
that's wired to clean stainless fluid lines. That air/fuel mixture
travels to a polished Edelbrock intake, which rides between cast
iron heads, fabricated valve covers and a simple breather. Sparks
get sequenced from a traditional points distributor to loomed MSD
Super Conductor plug wires. Spent gases roar through large-diameter
pipes via coated Hedman Hedders. Charge comes courtesy of a Concept
One serpentine system, which spins an Edelbrock water pump between
a polished alternator and a polished AC compressor. A beefy Be Cool
radiator makes excellent use of dual SPAL puller fans and a
polished expansion tank. And details like braided hoses, an Optima
battery and a slick Wilwood master cylinder mix proven reliability
with all-star appeal.
DRIVETRAIN/SUSPENSION
Park this Camaro on a lift and you'll find solid, Satin Black
floorpans that span a roster of upgraded componentry. Behind the
396, a proven Muncie 4-speed twists torque to a tough 12-bolt axle.
That axle rides a fully restored suspension, which backs
quick-ratio power steering with a Belltech rear sway bar. At the
corners of those sturdy bones, four Wilwood calipers cinch a
quartet of drilled and slotted rotors. Charred dinosaurs float from
the aforementioned headers in to 3-inch, Mandrel-bent exhaust
pipes, which center an H-shaped crossover in front of dual-chamber
Flowmaster mufflers. And power meets the pavement through American
Racing Torq Thrust IIs, which spin 215/35ZR18 Sumitomo HTR ZIIIs
and 255/30ZR20 Sumitomo HTR ZIIIs around a custom combination of
black spokes and polished rims.
INTERIOR
Swing the doors and you'll find a customized leather interior that
wraps firm Corbeau seats in a nice blend of classic flash and
modern flair. In front of those seats, a factory dash hangs rebuilt
telemetry beside Vintage Air Gen IV climate control and modern
Alpine audio. Below that dash, a factory console balances a
polished Hurst shifter behind factory 4-pack accessory gauges.
Beneath that console, new carpet floats "SS" branded floor mats
beneath large kick speakers. At the edge of that carpet, Standard
door panels look great under factory handles. In front of the
driver, a Rosewood Steering Wheel laps a tilting column. And behind
the passengers, a carpeted trunk frames boxed Rockford Fosgate
subwoofers.
