Vehicle Description
This 1968 Chevrolet Camaro restomod is all about taking one of the
most aggressive '60s designs and adding ultra slick paint, modern
trim, a custom luxury interior, four-wheel disc brakes, six-speed
stick, a thumping LS3 fuel-injected V8 and so much more. So yes,
this is the ultimate turn-key muscle machine... and it's even a TV
star!
Does this Camaro look familiar to you? Do you remember it from a
2013 episode of Counting Cars? Oh yeah, this is the full custom
build that came from the masters at Count's Kustoms, and it's even
signed by Danny "The Count" Koeker, Big Scotty, Horny Mike, Kevin
Mack, and Ryan. And if you remembered that episode, you'll know
they did a ton of work to get the Camaro looking so good. Let's
start with that award-worthy paint. The glossy Brandywine Metallic
has the appeal or red, but with much deeper and more sophisticated
tones. And you know they replaced the body panel just to make sure
that the sunlight flowed evenly over this whole custom creation.
The complete professional paintwork and precision panels give the
coupe the kind of luster that looks like candy apple red went over
to the dark side. And while the first-gen Camaros had some of the
most aggressive styling straight from the factory, with items like
the cowl hood and full-width spoiler, this one has its intimidation
turned way up with custom pieces. The expertly deleted front bumper
and the custom grille with RS-style hidden headlights make this
look like it could play the villain in every movie. Plus, the Z/28
striping has skulls airbrushed in the front, and the initials of
Counts Kustoms in the rear. Brightwork is kept to a minimum with
shaved door handles and a painted rear bumper for a more modern and
sleek overall presentation. But there's still plenty of polished
elements like the custom wheels that are made to look like classic
Rally-style units (but they're really larger alloys with an
aggressive 18/20-inch front/rear stance.)
Pop the remote door openers, and you'll see the interior is just as
nicely upgraded as the exterior. Custom leather bucket seats
provide you with the kind of modern bolstering you could never get
in '68. Plus, the red stitching here works with the floor mats to
give you a well-coordinated package. More than just the appearance,
everything inside this car feels fresh - from the carpeting, to the
door panels, to the window rubber - after all there is still on 17
miles on this since it was complete on the show! As a true
restomod, you have all the best interior upgrades, including power
windows, power seats, power locks, and R134a air conditioning. The
stereo is a modern Kenwood AM/FM/CD/XM touchscreen interface that
controls the full subwoofer stereo system. And even the full
RideTech air ride controls are mounted within the center console.
But as much as those features are great for everyone, the best
treats are reserved just for you. The wood and chrome steering
wheel is grippy, and beyond that are the dual pods that now have a
cool blue glow for the upgraded speedo and tach. And as you grab
the shifter, you'll realize that it shows 50% more gears than you'd
ever expected in a '68 Camaro.
The Count's crew knows how to make engines look fantastic, and so
you'll love popping the hood at car shows. But not only are crowds
going to be marveling at all the polished components, but also
they'll love that this full custom build has modern Chevy LS-power.
The fuel-injected 5.2-liter LS3 V8 is a very cool powerplant to
have. After all, they were part of the Camaro's latest revival, and
they are good for well over 400 horsepower right out of the box.
This V8 inhales deeply through a performance air intake, and
exhales with authority as the long tube headers feed the rumbling
dual exhaust. The modern Tremec six-speed manual means you have
full control over this monster motor and its thunderous soundtrack.
And take some time to look at all the undercarriage photos. After
all, if you know the show, you know that this car is on a new
frame. Plus, it has been upgraded with the air ride suspension,
tubular A-arms up front, and a reinforced rear. Plus, there's power
steering, Continental Extreme Contact tires, and Wilwood four-wheel
disc brakes.
This is the full custom build that knows how to back up its looks
with stunning performance. It's the one TV star you can meet that
will never disappoint in-person. So If you're ready for all eyes to
be on you, call today!!!
