Vehicle Description
This 1969 Chevrolet Camaro Prostreet is one of the best-executed
pro-touring cars we've ever featured. Not only does it look
gorgeous in its slick Metallic Blue finish, but it offers
impressive 383 Stroker horsepower, a grippy suspension, and an
aggressive 'big-and-little' stance, all combined with a bunch of
comfort and convenience upgrades to create a very special car
packed with beauty and brawn.
There's no argument that the 1969 Camaro is one of the best-looking
performance cars of the era, and there's practically no way to make
one look bad (although unfortunately, many have tried). This
particular beauty wears a fresh coat of modern urethane in BOLD
Metallic Blue, which actually looks far better than any selection
from the 1969 color palate and is definitely a proper Camaro color
that's worthy of its vaunted sheetmetal. And speaking of that
sheetmetal - it's beautifully restored, laser-straight, and
features exact gaps with flush panels that all line up better than
when they were new. That paint really is great too, with a miles
deep finish (seriously, you could practically drown in this paint;
they must've cleared out the shop with this order) that highlight
the undistorted reflections in the car's surface. We won't go as
far as calling it a show-car, as the noodgiest of noodges will
always find a light scratch or two because the car has been washed
and dried several times since the restoration was completed, but
it's pretty darn nice and doesn't need any excuses. They added a
cowl induction hood and chin spoiler up front, which always look
right on an F-body, and there's a ducktail spoiler out back as the
perfect endcap. Z/28 badges were added for ornamentation (this is
an X44 car so those are just for show), clear lenses in all the
lights really pop, and shiny chrome bumpers that look great, but
may very well be original to the car. Finishing off the look is
that awesome 'kicked-up' profile, with fat tires stuffed into the
rear wheel wells that help set an aggressively raked stance.
The interior is a lovely combination of stock appointments, turned
up to '11' with a few race-ready performance additions. Sporty
racing-seat buckets are aggressively bolstered and sculpted to hold
the body in place during sharp maneuvers, and they come with a set
of professional G-Force racing harness seat belts. The black-rimmed
steering wheel is a little fatter than the stock piece, so it feels
modern the moment you slip behind the wheel, and don't invite too
many friends for a ride because the back seat is gone - removed to
make way for a full roll cage that stiffens the body and makes it
track-ready. Stock gauges ahead of the driver are still in place,
but they can't keep up with the Stroker V8 under the hood so a trio
of auxiliary units under the dash and a big tachometer on the
A-pillar were added for better accuracy. A Turbo-Action shifter
that splits the front buckets instantly transforms the automatic
transmission into a race-ready gear box, and cold R134a A/C pumps
through Astro-Ventilation vents into the cabin. Out back, the
roll-caged trunk is packed tight with a fuel cell and a large
cannister of nitrous, so pack light and get ready to
white-knuckle.
Mechanically, this sucker gets it done with a punched-out 383 cubic
inch V8 Stroker motor. With a big horsepower and plenty of low-end
torque, the motor pulls the lightweight F-body with ease, and it's
running great today with signs of maintenance and good service
throughout. It's loaded with performance goodies as well, including
a big Holley 4-barrel carburetor on top of an Edelbrock air-gap
intake, and it breathes easy through the big chrome air cleaner up
top. Polished aluminum valve covers, an MSG ignition, and a
serpentine belt drive system with accessories all work together to
create a modern interpretation of a 1969 Camaro. A big aluminum
radiator keeps it cool and a built TH400 3-speed automatic
transmission with a B&M pan seems to ignore the huge torque
churning through it. An upgraded front clip with a big sway bar
makes the Camaro fairly nimble, with front dis brakes that help
stop it on a dime. Out back, there's a custom narrowed heavy-duty
rear end with a Competition Performance 4-link and coilover set-up
to really pin this car to the pavement. Long-tube headers feed into
a stainless H-pipe exhaust system with dual mufflers that sound
fantastic, with turn-down just underneath the rear bumper.
Staggered Weld Racing wheels always look great on a vintage Pro
Street Camaro and they carry 26x6.00x15 front and 26x12.00x15 rear
Mickey Thompson performance radials with plenty of grip.
Professionally built and insanely competent, this Camaro delivers
exactly what its awesome looks promise. Call today!
