Vehicle Description
When the words "Camaro" and "resto-mod" meet, a good time is pretty
much guaranteed. Throw in a fuel injected 427 and silky
silver-on-black aesthetics, and you end up with a tire-melting,
conversation-starting muscle car that everyone will stop to stare
at. This sweet F1 is a complete, road ready cruiser that features
choice Chevrolet power, a stout Tremec 5-speed and a professional
restoration that's been sorted over 5,000 miles of easy living. If
you're a buyer who seeks absolute authenticity, we can certainly
accommodate you. But, if you're one of the growing number of
enthusiasts who wants to actually enjoy the performance, look, and
value of Chevrolet's beloved pony car, this '69 panther is your
opportunity to turn someone else's toil into your new pastime!
STERLING AESTHETICS
The beneficiary of a detailed, ground-up restoration that was
completed in the not-too-distant past, this slick Chevy wears a
super solid body that's dressed in Bright Silver 2-stage. That
polished pigment looks brilliant under flowing side stripes and a
sinister Stinger Stripe. Yet despite its heavily customized
appearance, the car's trim and ornamentation remain a stylish mix
of familiar attributes. Up front, a billet grille hangs attractive
Rally Sport headlights above a body-matched bumper, clear parking
lamps and a custom chin spoiler. Behind that grille, a shaved
header leads the eye to a familiar Stinger Hood, which fronts
tinted glass that centers modified frames between a filled cowl,
shaved drip rails and polished stainless wipers. At the sides of
that glass, sporty F2 mirrors reflect a seamless profile that's
shaved of everything but Ringbrothers door handles. Opposite those
mirrors, a seamless deck filler transitions to a custom spoiler.
And at the back of the car, a second body-matched bumper guards a
custom valence that's fashioned around billet taillights and
polished exhaust tips.
BIG CHEVY POWER!
Under this Camaro's hood, 496 cubic inches of rowdy Chevy big block
spins 618 dyno-proven horsepower into 557 lb./ft. of dyno-proven
torque. At the top of that athletic mill, an iron Dart block that's
been decked, deburred and externally balanced, a Billet Specialties
Streamline shrouds a spry throttle body. That attractive duo drops
fresh air in to a tall Holley intake that's wired with thick fuel
rails. At the back of that lightweight plane, a hot MSD distributor
fires Chevrolet-loomed plug wires. Above those cables, Edelbrock
RPM heads float color-keyed Chevrolet valve covers between Comp
pushrods, Crane springs, Comp solid roller lifters, a polished cap
and polished breathers. Beneath those covers, a SCAT stroker crank
spins in unison with a Comp custom roller cam. At the sides of that
cam, a bundle of Doug's Headers turns power into rumble. At the
front of the block, polished serpentine components spin a Stewart
water pump between a polished alternator, a polished AC compressor
and modern power steering. At the front of those ancillaries, a
snazzy Be Cool radiator makes excellent use of brisk SPAL puller
fans. And a Wilwood master cylinder joins trick dipsticks, polished
brace bars, Fesler hood supports and a Ringbrothers clutch
reservoir to detail serious performance with serious substance.
SPEAKING OF ATHLETIC
Park this panther on a lift and you'll find a clean undercarriage
that, like the car's polished body, benefits from a roster of
desirable modifications. Just behind the motor, an 11-inch ceramic
clutch kicks a Keisler-sourced Tremec TKO600, which twists power
through a custom aluminum driveshaft. That 5-speed works well with
a tough GM 12-Bolt that's finished with a posi-traction
differential and big, 3.73 gears. That "DSE" branded pumpkin pushes
a Detroit Speed QUADRALink, which balances a thick sway bar and
modern coil-overs opposite requisite mini tubs. At the other end,
an upgraded front-clip hangs fluid power steering between a second
sway bar, Detroit Speed control arms and a second pair of
coil-overs. At the corners of that suspension, four Wilwood
calipers squeeze four drilled and slotted rotors. Charred dinosaurs
traverse large-diameter, Mandrel-bent pipes, which position an
X-shaped crossover between electric cutouts and aggressive
Magnaflow mufflers. Power meets the pavement through monochromatic
Boyd's blades, which spin 245/45ZR17 BF Goodrich g-Force T/As in
front of 335/30ZR18 BF Goodrich g-Force T/As. And the car's solid,
undercoated floors frame niceties like stainless fluid lines,
tubular subframe connectors and a fresh stainless fuel tank.
PURPOSEFUL COMFORT
Open this Camaro's tight-fitting doors and you'll find a highly
customized interior that wraps 21st century style in a nice blend
of comfort and convenience. Modern bucket seats complement a
recovered factory bench. In front of those thrones, a custom,
leather-capped dash hangs reliable Faria telemetry next to Vintage
Air climate control. At the base of that dash, a tasteful console
plants a Keisler TKO shifter between flat window switches and
modern Alpine audio. And the driver spins an attractive Billet
Specialties Draft Wheel around billet foot pedals and a polished,
tilting column.

If a run-of-the-mill Chevelle or Nova simply won't do, this
high-quality resto-mod is your perfect solution! Restoring any
classic to the condition of this Camaro will probably cost much
more than our asking price and, even if you started today, it would
probably be a year before that project began resembling a finished
car. Why not give in to temptation? Let this svelte F1 show you
exactly what instant gratification is all about!
