Now for sale in our Houston showroom is this nasty Pro Street-style
1969 Chevrolet Camaro Z28 tribute. Between the super-slick PPG 2006
Corvette Z06 LeMans Blue paint with its gloss black stripes, and
the massive big block engine, this frame-off restored car is sure
to make your heart beat fast! Under the hood of this beast is a
stout 468 CID V8 engine (built by Dino's Racing Engines), based on
a .030" over-bored 427 block, which is equipped with a Callies
crank and forged Mahle 10.5:1 pistons. A set of ceramic coated
Hooker headers funnel the spent fossils into a massive 3-inch
stainless steel dual Magnaflow exhaust with huge polished stainless
megaphones on its side exits. Fire it up, and it crackles and pops
like a race car; but under normal driving, the sound is just right.
Nail the gas, though, and you'll think you're in a Nascar racer -
which, in part, you are: the roll cage is a Nascar cage. The big
468's power is sent to the rear end via a built reverse manual
valve body 700R4 automatic transmission, controlled by a Hurst
ratchet shifter. A stout Ford 9" rear houses a set of 3.73:1 gears,
which makes this a wicked Camaro suitable for both street and
strip. The 3rd-member is equipped with a 4-link setup, complete
with adjustable coil-overs, providing for near infinite
adjustability to get the power down most effectively. Up front,
adjustable coil-over shocks keep the Global West tubular upper and
lower control arms properly damped, enhancing the handling. If one
looks closely, they'll notice that nearly everything underneath has
been powder coated in a mottled gray finish, as have been the inner
fenders in the engine bay, the core support for the radiator, and
the tops of the valve covers...they all match and look great! When
it comes time to slow down, the driver will appreciate the
four-piston SSBC Force10 brake calipers and drilled and slotted
rotors up front; along with the four-piston Wilwood calipers and
rotors out back. There's even an adjustable brake proportioning
valve, enabling the pilot to dial in the brake bias to their
preference. Weld Racing aluminum wheels are at all 4 corners, shod
by 165/80R-15 skinnies up front, and massive 315/60R-15 Mickey
Thompson ET Drag Radials out back, which also fit nicely in the
tubbed rear, and give it a real "Pro" stance. Inside, the custom
gray and black two-tone interior is done in a durable burlap cloth
and features custom Z28 embroidered emblems in both the head rests
and the rear parcel area. RCI 5-point racing harnesses keep driver
and passenger securely tucked into their places, and a complete set
of AutoMeter ProComp gauges, housed in a carbon fiber-look dash,
help keep the driver informed of critical engine stats. There's
even a carbon fiber NOS bottle - which is there for show and is
ready to be plumbed in should its new owner need a little extra
top-end punch. Additional features and options on the Pro
Street-style 1969 Chevrolet Camaro Z28 tribute for sale include
Aluminum Alloy Wheels, Cloth Interior, Power Steering, Radial
Tires, and Seat Belts. For more information on this Pro
