Vehicle Description
For most enthusiasts, the privilege of owning a classic car isn't
about numbers or return on investment. It's about heading out on
the weekend and having a little bit of fun. It's about making a
statement and turning heads. It's about the excitement of putting
the wind in their face and the roar of an American V8 at their
back. That's why rides like this awesome Camaro have such a loyal
following. Sure, you'll probably see another one at the show. And
it might not turn into a six-figure asset over the next decade.
But, it's cool, it's stylish, it's unique and, most importantly, it
provides a whole lot of enjoyment! Want to make it yours? Your
friends at RK Motors Charlotte are happy to help!
BODYWORK/TRIM
Primped, polished and ready to roll, this awesome Camaro is the
beneficiary of a detailed, ground-up restoration. When the car's
body was solid and smooth, Daytona Yellow 2-stage paint led hours
of careful color-sanding. When that sanding was glossy and level, a
fresh vinyl roof followed Tuxedo Black Super Sport stripes. And
today, this Camaro rolls as a top-notch classic that preserves some
of the best attributes of storied Chevrolet history!
With balanced proportions and crisp detailing, the first-generation
Camaro is an inherently good-looking design. At the front of this
coupe, a Satin Black grille hangs traditional headlights and a
bright "SS" emblem above a polished bumper and clean parking lamps.
At the top of that grille, a Camaro-branded header leads the eye to
a familiar Super Sport hood, which is founded on tinted,
stainless-trimmed glass. At the sides of that hood, a sculpted
profile centers polished door handles, correct mirrors and ornate
quarter louvers between factory emblems, stainless rocker spears
and small marker lamps. And at the back of that profile, a Satin
Black valance anchors factory taillights and a second "SS" badge
between a requisite deck spoiler and a second polished bumper.
ENGINE
In its heyday, Chevrolet's 396 cubic inch big block V8 played the
role of all things to all people. Introduced in 1965, it was
marketed as a top-of-the-line performance offering in Chevrolet's
Corvette line, was widely used in Chevy's immensely popular
Chevelle line, and even found its way under the hood of tough
Chevrolet trucks. Stare in to the smooth engine bay and you'll find
a polished and painted 396 that, during the car's detailed
restoration, was fitted with forged TRW pistons and fully rebuilt.
Power originates from a 750cfm Holley that's plumbed to clean
stainless lines. The air/fuel mixture travels through a polished
Edelbrock intake, which rides between cast iron heads, fabricated
valve covers and a simple breather. Sparks get sequenced from a
traditional distributor to loomed MSD Super Conductor plug wires.
Spent gases roar through large-diameter pipes via coated Hedman
Hedders and large diameter Flowmasters. Charge comes courtesy of a
Concept One serpentine system, which spins an Edelbrock water pump
between a polished alternator and a polished AC compressor. A beefy
aluminum Be Cool radiator makes excellent use of dual SPAL puller
fans and a polished expansion tank. And details like braided hoses,
an Optima battery and a slick Wilwood master cylinder mix proven
reliability with all-star appeal.
DRIVETRAIN/SUSPENSION
Park this Camaro on a lift and you'll find solid, Satin Black
floorpans that span a roster of upgraded componentry. Behind the
396, a proven Muncie 4-speed transmission twists torque to a tough
12-bolt axle. That axle rides a fully restored suspension, which
backs quick-ratio power steering with a Belltech rear sway bar. At
the corners of those sturdy bones, four Wilwood calipers cinch a
quartet of drilled and slotted rotors. Charred dinosaurs float from
the aforementioned headers in to 3-inch, Mandrel-bent exhaust
pipes, which center an H-shaped crossover in front of dual-chamber
Flowmaster mufflers. And power meets the pavement through American
Racing Torq Thrust IIs, which spin 215/35ZR18 Sumitomo HTR ZIIIs
and 255/30ZR20 Sumitomo HTR ZIIIs around a custom combination of
black spokes and polished rims.
INTERIOR
Swing the doors and you'll find a customized leather interior that
wraps firm Corbeau seats in a nice blend of classic flash and
modern flair. In front of those seats, a factory dash hangs rebuilt
telemetry beside Vintage Air Gen IV climate control and modern
Alpine audio. Below that dash, a factory console balances a
polished Hurst shifter behind factory 4-pack accessory gauges.
Beneath that console, new carpet floats "SS" branded floor mats
beneath large kick speakers. In front of the driver, a Rosewood
Steering Wheel laps a tilting column. And behind the passengers, a
carpeted trunk frames boxed Rockford Fosgate subwoofers.
Well-built, fully detailed and attention grabbing in every way,
this Camaro backs a lot of show with a whole lot of go. In summary,
it's what every car guy wants: speed, style and endless good times!
