Vehicle Description
This is the right way to build a pro-touring F-body. Take one
gorgeous 1969 Chevrolet Camaro, and cover it with gorgeous red
paint and a pair of silver hockey stripes. Add a strong-running 496
V8, a Tremec 5-speed gearbox, and a pavement-hugging performance
suspension. Finish with a tasteful, upgraded interior that keeps
the spirit of what was great about the original design but adds a
splash of modern tech. And with only 896 miles on the build, this
car totally nails it.
The bright red paint is the first thing that grabs you about this
car, but it isn't the only thing that's impressive. It's very
nicely done and shows the result of many hours of labor-intensive
ministrations with a deep shine and excellent finish work for a
distortion-free surface. On brightly colored cars, gaps are
important, and they're excellent here, and the silver hockey
stripes and cowl hood are a nice alternative to the usual look.
Regardless of whether it's a real SS or Z/28, all the desirable
performance details are there, from the painted front bumper and
blacked-out grille up front to the custom LED taillights and fresh
chrome bumper out back, so it's got a great performance look, and
electric RS hide-away headlights are always welcome. The
performance look is enhanced further by the oversized wheels and
aggressive stance, and with new brightwork and weather stripping
all-around, anyone can immediately tell that this was a serious
build. Man, this is a very impressive Camaro.
Inside, the black interior has been given a fairly comprehensive
makeover, starting with a set of custom leather high-back buckets
seats. There's also a matching console that was created just for
this car, and it extends into the backseat area and houses the
shifter for the Tremec 5-speed manual below. Against the bright red
paint it really works well, but there's nothing in there that looks
out of place. Everything's new, of course, and they spent the long
dollar on the best parts money could buy. Auto Meter gauges live in
a custom dash cluster that looks almost OEM the way it fits into
the stock instrument panel and a custom steering wheel that feels
great in your hands sits atop an aftermarket tilt column. The
shifter now manages a Tremec TKO 600 and the stereo has been
upgraded to a Sony AM/FM/CD/AUX head unit that powers speakers
throughout the interior. The rear seat has probably never been
used, the door panels are custom and fit the theme of the interior
perfectly, the carpets are plush, and the headliner is taut. Quite
simply, everything was addressed inside and everything is fresh.
Even the trunk is beautifully finished with matching black carpets,
and has plenty room for all the trophies this Camaro will earn.
Under the hood, the stout 496 cubic inch Stroker V8 is built for
combat inside and dressed for show on the outside, featuring a
shiny red block with finned valve covers and a matching cleaner, a
polished Edelbrock aluminum intake and chromed and polished
accessories everywhere you look, all up against the red canvas of
the detailed inner fenders and shaved firewall. Aluminum heads, a
big Holley carburetor, an HEI ignition, and a Mishimoto aluminum
radiator up front all add up to a very impressive powerplant that
can slug it out in the streets or take it easy on the weekends. And
with just a few hundred shake-down miles, it's still very fresh and
pulls the Camaro around like it suddenly lost 1000 pounds. Of
course, the Tremec TKO600 5-speed manual transmission makes a huge
impact on the car's roadability, with a towering overdrive that
lets that big block just loaf along at highway speeds. Underneath,
it's finished for show and ready for combat with a custom tubular
front and rear suspension featuring coilovers all-around, a Heidts
front cross member, a 4-link for the Ford 9-inch rear end, and
power rack-and-pinion steering and Wilwood power 4-wheel disc
brakes that make driving this '69 an absolute dream. All that tech
is neatly hidden behind a set of slick 18-inch Rocket wheels, which
carry staggered 225/40/18 front and 275/40/18 rear performance
radials that fill the fenders perfectly and set the aggressive
stance.
This car is the right combination of style, substance, and
performance, making it one of the most appealing early Camaros
we've seen in a while. Call today!
