Vehicle Description
1969 Chevrolet Camaro Custom
When the pro touring trend came to the classic car world it
completely transformed how these old vehicles could perform. Crate
350s were being replaced with LS motors and cars were being built
to handle and perform like a new Corvette. These pro touring cars
are some of the coolest vehicles on the road nowadays and even
better than their looks is the fact that long distance driving
became much more comfortable and feasible. After all, cars were
meant to be driven and these cars are built with that thought in
mind. The 1969 Chevrolet Camaro you see here is one of those pro
touring cars and underwent a frame off rotisserie custom build in
2014/2015 that was all done professionally. It was completed by
American Muscle Restoration and has 9,549 miles on it since it was
finished. The complete process involved a ton of hours and over
$150,000 invested. During the build the car was completely
disassembled and the body all media blasted. The paint and body
work alone totals up to over $30,000 and the result is a beautiful
gloss Black exterior. Black is a tough color to get right and this
one was done really well. The bumpers and trim were not only
replaced but were also painted Black as well which gives it a very
tough looking exterior. Even the aftermarket headlights themselves
add to the cool aggressive look. The car was obviously very well
thought out and designed. All of the emblems were removed except
for the Chevy bowtie on the grill. The glass is all new and was
redone with a smoke tint. The stance of the car is perfect and it
rides on 18 inch Boze wheel with P Zero Pirelli tires. It has mini
tubs in the back allowing space for a wider tire for better
traction.
Pop the cowl hood and you will find a completely rebuilt LS3 motor
with Red Camaro covers. It has an LS3 serpentine belt system, Fast
Big Mouth throttle body and the entire engine compartment has a
nice show ready look. The motor is kept running nice and cool with
a Griffin aluminum radiator and electric fans. The car has a great
sound through a custom exhaust system that consists of Stainless
Works LS headers, 3 inch stainless tubes and Magnaflow mufflers. On
the dyno the car puts out 405 hp and 384 torque to the wheels. The
motor sends power through the custom 3 inch steel driveshaft to the
fully rebuilt 4L70 automatic transmission. The car has 4 wheel
Wilwood disc brakes under all four corners and a Wilwood brake
booster. DSE power steering was also added making it an extremely
comfortable car to cruise around in. As we mentioned before it was
mini tubbed in back and it has a Quadralink rear end and Speed 3
front suspension. It has a Red top Optima battery which has been
relocated and there is so much going on with this custom build that
we are sure there is something we left out.
The interior was done in a nice Red and Black leather combo that
was very well done. It has high back Bucket seats with headrests up
front and aftermarket Red lap belts. A custom console was built for
the car and has been upholstered in Red with a houndstooth pattern
which is a nice homage to the vintage Camaro style. The console
houses a custom shifter, cupholders, and Kenwood touch screen head
unit. The rest of the custom sound system consists of two Pioneer 2
channel 400 watt amps, a Memphis Audio M5 subwoofer, and Memphis
Audio 6x9 speakers. The dash is custom as well with all new Black
face Performance Series Faria gauges, LED light indicators, Black
Vintage AC/Heat controls and all custom billet knobs. The tilt
column sits nicely in front of the driver and is topped off with a
Budnik steering wheel. The trunk is all nicely upholstered as well
and has a custom panel to expose the Pioneer amps.
The more you look at this classic the more obvious how well it was
built becomes. No piece of it was left untouched. It comes with a
lot of receipts as well as a set of chrome bumpers should you want
to swap out the Black ones. If you are in the market for a vintage
Camaro but want one that can handle every driving style, this is
the one. Don't waste your time and money building one because it
would without a doubt cost much more than our asking price.
