Vehicle Description
The paint, the five-speed, the thunderous exhaust, the fully custom
A/C interior, and the performance-built fuel-injected LS3 V8 -
these are the reasons why you already fell in love/lust with this
1968 Chevrolet Camaro Pro Touring machine. Now check out all the
details on this total custom performance build that is award-worthy
from every angle.
The restoration and transformation on this Camaro happened less
than 7,000 miles ago, so everything is truly as fresh as it looks
in the pictures. This work of art was built professionally by Tom
Argue Designs in Clearwater, FL. There's an eye for sleekness on
this whole build. It starts with paying particular attention during
the frame-off restoration to get the panels looking terrific. Only
then was the first drop of paint laid down. This is PPG's shade of
Victory Red, and the name is appropriate, because with the level of
attention it was given (and the miles-deep clearcoat) might just
win you awards all on its own. Plus, you'll love the detail work.
Not only were the stripes applied before the clearcoat so that the
sunlight rolls evenly across the whole body, but also unlike other
Camaros, they have unique edges to draw extra attention to
aggressive pieces like the cowl hood and full-width rear spoiler.
And did you check out the silver streak within the stripes... see
what we mean about the details! The wraparound chrome bumpers are
mirror-like; the glass is crystal-clear; and the polished torque
thrust style wheels take a classic look and give them a modern
18-inch aggressive stance. This is the kind of coupe you can
instantly tell was a thoughtful build where the finer aspects were
scrutinized.
Inside the black accenting takes over as the main color, and the
red is now the used to draw your attention to extra flair (like the
custom floor mats that have the car's Pursuit nickname stitched
inside.) While this has an overall look of a classic, you can also
instantly see they made investments in the best of modern upgrades.
Those leather bucket seats come with the kind of body-hugging
bolstering you could never get in the '60s, and yours even power
adjusts. The sports steering wheel is on an Ididit tilt column, and
beyond that, the upgraded Dakota Digital gauge package glows red to
fit with this car's theme. And that Hurst Blackjack shifter is just
calling out for your right hand. But more than just a performance
build, take some time to notice the extra comfort in this custom,
too. You have an armrest center console that has everything from
cup holders to your power window controls. Plus, there's features
you don't expect in classic cars, like cruise control and ice-cold
R134a air conditioning. And we know you're going to love the modern
Pioneer Mixtrax touchscreen head unit. It's your gateway to a full
modern AM/FM/XM stereo, Bluetooth, and backup camera.
From the moment the hood is opened, you know you're looking at a
far more modern powerplant than this Camaro ever had before. They
took the time to install it cleanly with a tidy look and
color-matched features. We're especially fond of how the valve
covers fully coordinate with the exterior, including the custom
stripe colors. This is a 6.2-liter LS3 fuel-injected V8, and it's
rated at 525 horsepower right out of the box. This has everything
you want, including a large aluminum radiator, serpentine belts,
and headers feeding the 3-inch X-pipe dual exhaust. This
high-performance V8 and its thunderous soundtrack is firmly in your
command thanks to the Tremec TKO 600 five-speed manual
transmission. In fact, control is a central theme to this build.
That's why as you look at the clean undercarriage photos, you'll
also see all the right frame and suspension upgrades. This includes
Global West tubular A-arms up front, subframe connectors, CalTracs
traction bars in the rear, Hotchkis springs/shocks, and CPP sway
bars front & rear. There's even power steering, modern ZR-rated
tires, and Wilwood drilled & slotted four-wheel disc brakes.
The sale comes with the owner's manual and a mountain of receipts
documenting the huge investment of over $115,000 in this awesome
build. But really, the shine of the paint and the growl of the V8
already tell you this is the best of everything. So if you want to
be award-worthy from the moment you leave the showroom, call
