Vehicle Description
1974 Chevrolet Camaro Pro-Street
The Camaro is the flagship pony car for Chevrolet, built to compete
with Ford's Mustang. It debuted in 1967, and by 1974 had gone
through several major changes. The 1974-1977 have developed a
following in the last few years as the 67-73 and 78-82 models have
gotten so expensive. These are great cars that, as this one shows,
can be built to compete with any Camaro on the roads.
Why This Car Is Special
This car has been given the kind of power it should have always
had, via a big block Chevy engine and numerous modifications to get
that power to the ground. The exterior is also customized so
everyone knows they aren't messing with a stock 1974 Camaro and
it's paltry 185 horsepower. This car puts those numbers to
shame.
Mechanical
A 454 CID V8 rests nicely in the engine compartment and is built to
the hilt. A serpentine belt system has been installed along with a
tunnel ram intake, 4-barrel carburetor, Doug's ceramic coated
headers, billet pullies, and MSD distributor. There are receipts
for well over $10,000 making this car a powerhouse that runs and
drives exactly like it should. It has been built right and
meticulously maintained. It has a Turbo 400 automatic transmission
with a stall converter and reverse manual valve body for quick
shifts from light to light, or at the track. A Sidewinder shifter
handles that responsibility and looks great doing it. Mickey
Thompson meats out back put that power to the ground from a 12-bolt
rear end with traction bars.
Interior
With as much money as was spent on the drivetrain, you may think
they would skimp when it came to the interior, but it is quite the
opposite. Cloth and vinyl bucket seats with a center console,
aftermarket black gauges and a very nicely done roll cage with
Ultra Shield harnesses, not only look great but provide additional
safety benefits. A chrome Grant GT steering wheel on a tilt column
makes entering and exiting the car a breeze. There are also
receipts for the interior restoration that go with the vehicle at
the time of sale.
Exterior
If you don't want to stand out, this isn't the car for you. From a
bright blue metallic paint job with custom striping, black vinyl
roof, silver painted bumpers and nice Cragar wheels, you will draw
stares. A great stance, big Mickey Thompson tires a fiberglass cowl
hood and a stock style spoiler really make this Camaro look
tough.
Conclusion
Pro-street cars are very popular, and it is easy to see why with
examples like this. It is fast, fun, and can handle anything you
throw at it. The interior doesn't sacrifice comfort for performance
and this car has all the right upgrades.
