Vehicle Description
Sometimes too much is exactly what you need. That's the attitude
behind this fantastic pro street 1970 Chevrolet Camaro. And before
you say pro-street is dead, take a closer look, because this one is
a very trick 21st century take on the familiar drag-race-inspired
street car, and we like the results a whole lot.
Anything painted Atomic Orange is going to get noticed, but with 18
inches of blower and air scoop hanging out of the hood, it will be
impossible to ignore this Camaro. Building on the pro-street
tradition of big horsepower, big tires, and big acceleration, it
has raised the bar in terms of sophistication and design. Check out
the smoothed body, which has no door handles, no mirrors, and no
badges beyond the Z/28 emblem in the grille. The second-generation
Camaro's body lends itself to the streamlined look, and with a
custom aluminum wing neatly faired into the deck lid and painted to
match (including the stripe!) it looks like a '30s aero streamliner
as much as a blunt-force hammer for the street. There is a hood, of
course, but it's mostly an opening for the blower. The
cream-colored stripe is a great contrast against the copper paint
and details like the crystal clear headlights, flush-mounted fuel
filler on the deck lid, and '50s Pontiac blue-dot taillight lenses
give it a trick look without losing its identity.
The interior is combat-ready but still built for the street, thanks
to comfortable tan bucket seats with provisions for harnesses, full
carpets, and nicely finished door panels. No crude race car stuff
here! A custom center console blends seamlessly with the fabricated
dash, which is filled with Auto Meter Ultra-Lite gauges. The
B&M shifter manages a TH400 3-speed automatic transmission and
if you glance out the windshield, you'll see an extra pair of
gauges for boost and fuel pressure mounted right to the back of the
blower. Very cool! A 4-spoke Billet Specialties steering wheel has
been wrapped in matching tan leather, giving the interior a
consistent look. Yes, there's a cage, but it stays out of the way
pretty well and the rear seat area is now full of wheel wells, so
don't bother with any extra passengers. The trunk is all business,
with a fuel cell mounted to the subframe as well as a
remote-mounted battery.
Don't worry, there's plenty of power to back up the outrageous look
thanks to a built supercharged 454 cubic inch Chevy V8. That's a
Littlefield 6-71 supercharger up top, fed by a pair of Holleys.
Brodix aluminum heads improve the flow while reducing weight and
there's a big enough cam to get noticed even at idle. It's pump gas
friendly, so no worries about this being a cranky full-race piece
and thanks to a giant radiator, electric fans, and an electric
water pump, it keeps its cool. Don't get me wrong, it's nasty and
not for a rookie, but it's also ready to use. There's a full A-arm
front suspension with rack-and-pinion steering and coil-overs, and
the custom 9-inch rear end uses a 5-link and coil-overs to plant
those massive meats. A fabricated Flowmaster exhaust system sounds
spectacular and uses flattened exhaust tips that look like they
were borrowed from NASCAR. 4-wheel vented and cross-drilled disc
brakes are there for safety and the stance is more pro-touring than
pro-street. The same goes for the giant 19- and 20-inch wheels,
which were color-matched to the bodywork and wrapped in 225/35/19
front and 345/30/20 rear performance rubber.
This is a show car you can use on the street and it's got the
hardware that tells everyone it's not fooling around. If you like
to make a big entrance, few cars can do it better than this Camaro.
