1969 Chevrolet Camaro SS 572 Custom
BAD TO THE BONE!
ATTENTION ALL CAMARO ENTHUSIASTS!
THIS CAR WAS BUILT TO LOOK GREAT AND BE EXTREMELY USER FRIENDLY!
MS CLASSIC CARS HAS COLLECTED, SOLD AND SEEN THOUSANDS OF FIRST GENERATION CAMAROS OVER THE YEARS. HOWEVER, WE’VE NEVER OWNED ONE WITH A GM ZZ572 CRATE ENGINE. I’VE ALWAYS WANTED A CLASSIC CAR WITH A 572! THESE ENGINES ARE RATED AT 620HP AND ANY CLASSIC CAR ENTHUSIAT KNOWS THERE AWSOME. THE REASON YOU DON’T SEE MANY FIRST GENERATION CAMAROS WITH A 572 IS BECAUSE THERE VERY EXPENSIVE AND A LOT OF MODIFICATIONS NEED TO BE DONE SO IT FITS. AS AN EXAMPLE THE BLOCK IS TALLER THEN A 502 SO A LOT OF ITEMS HAVE TO BE MODIFIFED FOR CLEARANCE SUCH AS THE HOOD, PULLEY SYSTEM, STEERING UNIT, ALTERNATOR UNIT, HEADERS, RADIATOR, WIPER MOTOR, ETC. THE OTHER THING IS MAKING SURE ONCE IT’S INSTALLED IT ALL WORKS PROPERLY. SOME OF THE CAMAROS THAT I’VE SEEN WITH 572 ENGINES WEREN’T DONE PROPERLY AND IT SHOWS IN THE DETAILS. THIS 1969 CHEVROLET CAMARO NOT ONLY LOOKS EXCELLENT BUT IT ALSO PERFORMANCES EXCELLENT!

The exterior body of this car is very nice and straight. All of the gaps are nice as well. The Corvette Stinger style hood is fiberglass and very light weight. Please keep in mind fiberglass hoods have advantages but they tend to bow a little so they don’t always line up flush with the top of the fenders. The doors and deck lid open and close excellent!
The car was painted in its original color of Azure Turquoise. It was complimented by black accents on the Stinger hood cowl, hockey stripe, quarter shark fins and rear deck lid single strip. The paint on this car is beautiful and the color really POPS. It’s a show quality paint job that’s virtually flawless. When was the last time you’ve seen a Camaro in this color with accents like this. This is a really sweet looking car!
Everything on the exterior is new and listed below.
The car originally came with black interior with bucket seats so it only made sense to customize the interior in black. This interior is all new and in beautiful condition. Everything was tastefully done and everything just flows together. An example would be the gauges match the steering wheel, etc. Everything is in working order. Everything is new and listed below.
The engine compartment is highly detailed and home to the massive GM ZZ572 crate engine rated at 620HP. Yes, this is the real deal! The engine cowl area and firewall is in beautiful condition. The fiberglass Corvette Stinger style hood is attached to Billet hinges with pumps. These function really nice and are pro show. The inner fenders are also beautiful and have adjustable aluminum fender braces that match the hinges!
The idea behind building this car was to make it not only look the excellent but also perform excellent. Big blocks with this kind of power are normally a hassle to operate. My shop wanted this car to be extremely user friendly and that’s exactly what it is. You literally get into the car turn the key and it starts immediately. Rather than using the GM recommended Demon 1000 carburetor my shop decided on a Holley 850 4 barrel with electric choke. This makes the engine much easier to operate with no issues starting and stopping multiple times. I’ve owned hundreds of classic cars over the years and this is one of the best running ones I’ve experienced. It warms up within a few minutes, runs smooth, drives great in both city and highway and has no overheating issues with the massive custom built aluminum radiator. Depending what mood you’re in you can drive it like an animal or cruise it down the road. Everything is new and listed below.
The engine is coupled to a custom built 700R4 HD transmission with overdrive. This transmission shifts great and allows for all types of driving whether it is around town or on the highway. Listed below are some of the features.
The transmission is connected to a newly rebuilt GM 12 bolt POSI rear end with 3.73 gears. It has a Moser aluminum differential cover. This rear end was made to handle to pavement pounding power of the 572!
The undercarriage of this car is really nice and clean. Everything was restored or replaced during the restoration. This car has both power steering and power brakes. Listed below are some of the features.
