Vehicle Description
If you want to create a world class pro-tourer, there are a few
simple rules to follow. For starters, base your build around a
popular model. Keep the paint scheme memorable, the wheels tasteful
and make sure to dial in the stance. And, for best results, throw
in plenty of power, a capable chassis and a tailored interior
that's comprised of carefully chosen materials. It's much more
difficult than it sounds, but this exceptional Camaro adheres to
that formula for a result that's nothing short of spectacular.
Mixing big LS power and a choice Tremec 6-speed with a full Martz
suspension and custom Ultraleather upholstery, no piece of this
awesome F-Body was left unimproved. And if you're ready to rule the
track and stop the show, it's the killer classic your heart
desires!
BUILT FOR THE TRACK, TAILORED FOR THE SHOW
Built by Lenoir, North Carolina's HotRod Dynamics, this sweet
Camaro was initially bound for the track. However, after a bit of
thought, its owner decided he'd rather have fun just cruising the
car around and parking it at a few local shows. That said, this is
a fully sorted pro-tourer that, with the addition of a cage, could
easily apex some turns. Naturally, this classic's show-stopping
profile needed show-stopping paint, which manifests as GM Arrival
Blue base under wet-looking clear. And today, this legendary Chevy
rolls as one razor-sharp F1 that's poised to show and raring to
go!
When it comes to muscle cars and body modifications, it's best to
de-emphasize ornamentation. Too much era-correct bits will make the
build look disjointed, and too much chrome just makes everything
look tacky. Thankfully, this coupe's builders did a great job of
placing form over function and keeping add-ons to a minimum. The
show begins with a bumper-free, Rally-style front-clip, which hangs
a subtle billet grille and modern halo headlights over a custom
valance, '69 Camaro parking lamps and a distinct, D80-style chin
spoiler. Above that grille, a shaved header leads a traditional
Cowl Induction Hood, which draws the eye to a tinted greenhouse
that stacks shaved drip rails on bright frames and mirrored wipers.
Speaking of mirrored, a clean profile seats modern mirrors and
flush Kindig It door handles above filled markers and seamless
fender extensions. And, speaking of seamless, a seamless deck
filler joins a seamless rear valance to frame a painted bumper,
billet taillights, a trick fuel filler and a second D80
spoiler.
660 HORSEPOWER LS7
Sourced directly from Chevrolet Performance, and massaged by the
good folks at Lingenfelter Performance Engineering, this Camaro's
hearty LS7 small block spins an easy 660 horsepower into 585
lb./ft. of track terrorizing torque! At the top of the all-aluminum
beast, a remote filter element feeds a ported and polished throttle
body that's cinched to a wicked Holley Hi-Ram Intake. That intake,
wired with requisite electronic fuel injection, feeds CNC ported
and polished heads, which stack titanium retainers and titanium
locks around Lingenfelter high performance dual valve springs and a
Lingenfelter multi-angle valve job. Beneath those heads, quality GM
internals join a hot COMP Lingenfelter Z06 GT21 cam to create stout
11.5 to 1 compression. Lubrication is provided by a retrofitted
wet-sump system. Cooling comes courtesy of a bowtie-capped radiator
that's finished with a clean closeout and two electric puller fans.
A fluid serpentine drive spins a polished alternator opposite a
polished AC compressor. Custom coil covers cap clean Accel plug
wires. And a rhythmic symphony of octane-fueled growls pulses
through long Stainless Works headers. The car's tidy engine bay
impresses, all the way from its smoothed firewall to its custom
brace bars and billet hood striker. And details like billet hood
supports, billet fluid reservoirs and a liquid-filled Marshall fuel
pressure gauge add both form and function.
PUTTING THE PRO IN PRO-TOURING
Park this Chevy on a lift and you'll find solid floorpans that
frame modern aftermarket components in a subdued coat of Satin
Black skin. A tough hydraulic clutch kicks a proven Tremec T56
Magnum 6-speed, which transfers power through a quality Performance
Engineering & Manufacturing driveshaft. That tube twists a dressed
12-bolt axle that's finished with a posi-traction differential.
Power-assisted rack-and-pinion steering leads a Martz Chassis
front-clip that's complete with a big sway bar and modern
coil-over-shocks. Opposite that clip, a Martz Chassis 4-link makes
excellent use of a second sway bar and two more modern coil-overs.
Electronic power assist cinches both GM and Wilwood calipers around
a quartet of drilled and slotted rotors. Charred dinosaurs float
from the aforementioned headers into custom, three-inch pipes,
which position welded mufflers behind an X-shaped crossover. At the
corners, stylish Billet Specialties blades spin 235/40ZR17 Pirelli
Super Sports in front of 315/35R17 Nitto NT05Rs. And choice
detailing include wide mini tubs and strong subframe
connectors.
SUBSTANCE AND STYLE
Behind the solid-closing doors you'll find a thoughtfully
customized cockpit that wraps tons of classic flash in miles of
modern flair. French-stitched Ultraleather dresses sculpted TMI
buckets that recline for the driver and front passenger. A
monochromatic dash hangs sweet Dakota Digital VHX telemetry next to
controls for power windows, cool Vintage Air conditioning and
modern Bluetooth audio that bumps a quartet of crisp speakers. A
suede headliner shades tight Daytona Carpet that's spiced with a
billet shifter and billet foot pedals. Custom side panels twist
billet handles in front of billet jamb vents. The driver spins a
Billet Specialties Formula steering wheel around a tilting column.
And naturally, this Chevy's trunk has been customized to match!
Well-built, fully detailed and attention grabbing in every way,
this Camaro finds the perfect midpoint between show and go. And,
created in adherence to the basic tenants of the pro-touring
movement, you can rest assured that its appeal won't fade with
time. If you're ready to bring home one of the coolest Chevys we've
seen, free up some garage space and give us a call!
