Vehicle Description
Here's an interesting twist on this 1968 Chevrolet Camaro: it's
actually a Firebird. That's right, the look is absolutely Chevy,
but the VIN and under the skin is a Pontiac. And that's not even
where the interesting story on this one ends. With a fuel-injected
LS V8 and four-wheel disc brakes, this black coupe is also a
restomod. So if you love talking about your classic as much as
driving it, you know this is something distinctly different.
The nice thing about GM's F-body twins is most panels are built to
fit on the same unibody. But this is not just some weekend
wrenching. The roofline and the doors are similar, but there's a
ton of Pontiac that doesn't fit on a Chevy. The bumpers, fenders,
hood, rear panel, and so much more are exclusive to each line. So
it took extra time and effort to create the coupe... and that's
actually a good thing. After all, that extra work means people will
be admiring the straightness of the sheetmetal even when they don't
know this car's secret. The black paint has a nice shine to show
off the coupe's curves, and it's just a professional buff away from
a true next-level finish. This even has all the right pieces you
love on a Camaro, like SS badging, provisions for the RS hidden
headlight front end, and bright Z/28 dual racing stripes. A deep
chin spoiler, cowl induction hood, full-width rear spoiler, and
upgraded US Mags wheels with an aggressive 18/20 inch front/rear
stagger all give this the look and stance of a true performance
machine.
The full Chevy transformation continues inside. After all, the
houndstooth cloth inserts in the upholstery are practically a
Camaro icon. You have traditional pieces like the grippy
three-spoke sports steering wheel and a center console with
horseshoe shifter. The heater controls show that this was likely
even a factory A/C car (most of the components will need to be
returned to get it functioning again.) This is joined by
well-integrated upgrades like a retro-style AM/FM digital tuner
with aux input. The Camaro dash was added with a clean and complete
look, but the gauges are an upgraded set from Dakota Digital that
offer better info and crisp markings.
While this car has two bloodlines, the lineage comes together a bit
under the hood. After all, both the 4th gen Firebird and Camaro
featured LS power as the top motor. This 5.3-liter V8 is from
different part of the GM family line, but it's still a true
fuel-injected LS powerhouse, and so it's a very welcomed addition
under the hood. The gloss black intake and bright red FAST fuel
rails give it a sporty look. And the large aluminum radiator with
electric fans help keep this upgrade running cool. There's even a
nice set of shorty headers that help give this distinct coupe a
distinctive sound from the dual exhaust. Power steering and the
three-speed automatic transmission are great for driving. Plus, the
modern ZR-rated tires and upgraded four-wheel power disc brakes
with drilled & slotted rotors mean there's upgraded control to go
with the upgraded power.
You can keep this car's true secret between you and the DMV if you
really want to, but quite frankly, we all love a cool car with an
even cooler story. So don't miss this Camaro/Firebird restomod.
