Vehicle Description
Start talking muscle cars and the first generation Camaro is almost
always directly referenced. Offered in trim levels ranging from
stripped economy champ to ferocious pavement prowler, Chevrolet
produced F1s that were capable of satisfying nearly every buyer and
every wallet. That legacy of universal appeal has continued
throughout the last 50 years, giving fans and aficionados the parts
and inspiration to create their own unique hot rods. Take this
killer pro-touring resto-mod for example. Backing 632 cubic inches
of thoroughbred Nelson Racing Engine with a tough Tremec 5-speed
and proven Detroit Speed athletics, this tastefully modified Chevy
turns a traditionally appealing platform into an off-the-charts
super star! Ready to hit the streets in a tough, head-turning
muscle car? Check out this stunning panther.
TRADITION MADE BETTER
Professionally finished by some of Charlotte's best hot rod shops,
this fantastic F1 wears a traditional coat of Hugger Orange 2-stage
that's been worked to near perfection. Under that pigment, solid
body panels align well, presenting the kind of fit and finish
that's common on high level builds. And that alignment serves as an
excellent canvas for Pearl White Rally Stripes. Those stripes begin
at a "Z/28" branded grille, which hangs modern headlights above a
polished bumper and amber parking lamps. Above that grille, a
Camaro-branded header leads a 4-inch Cowl Induction Hood, which
shades fresh glass that's cased in straight stainless. At the sides
of that glass, a sculpted profile seats polished door handles,
ornate quarter louvers and correct chrome mirrors amid colorful
"Z/28" badges and flowing "Camaro" scripts. And at the back of the
car, a Camaro-branded trunk hangs a familiar D80 deck spoiler over
traditional taillights, a fourth "Z/28" emblem and a second
polished bumper.
BIG MADE BIGGER
Lift this Camaro's steel hood and you'll find 632 cubic inches of
Nelson Racing Engines Hot Rod V8 that, without the aid of the car's
polished Alien Intake, turned an incredible 820 dyno-proven
horsepower into 770 lb./ft. of tire-spinning torque! Fires are lit
when Electromotive fuel management floods polished and CNC-ported
Brodix heads. Under those 440 cfm caps, a tough Dart block spins a
forged Callies 4340 crank under JE pistons and Callies H-beam rods.
A custom-grind cam plays well with relocated coils, loomed MSD
Super Conductor plug wires and hydraulic roller lifters. At the
front of those wires, a Billet Specialties Tru Trac serpentine
drive spins Zoops power steering beneath a polished alternator, a
polished AC compressor and a coated Edelbrock water pump. In front
of those ancillaries, a polished Auto Rad core cover leads a
polished Auto Rad radiator, which makes excellent use of a polished
expansion tank and two electric puller fans. And exhaust duties are
handled by Elston stainless Tri-Y headers. While this mill's main
purpose is to go straight at a very high rate of speed, it's still
very impressive to look at. Satin Charcoal paint slinks around
Detroit Speed fender braces and billet hood supports to highlight a
custom firewall. And overall, everything, from the car's quality
ARP fasteners and polished master cylinder to its relocated oil
filter and high-capacity oil pan, is well-planned and
professionally executed.
FAST MADE FASTER
Bottom-side, a McLeod RXT twin-disc clutch kicks a tough Tremec TKO
5-speed, which spins a trusty Dana 60 differential. That driveline
pushes a Detroit Speed QUADRALink rear-clip, which seats a sturdy
Panhard bar behind Detroit Speed mini tubs and adjustable
coil-over-shocks. Opposite that clip, a Detroit Speed sub-frame
centers Detroit Speed power rack-and-pinion steering between
tubular control arms, two more adjustable coil-overs and a racing
sway bar. At the corners, Baer 4 and 6-piston calipers squeeze
14-inch front and 13-inch rear Baer drilled and slotted rotors.
Exhaust floats from the aforementioned headers in to coated,
Mandrel-bent pipes, which center a 3-inch crossover in front of
stainless Magnaflow mufflers. Power meets the pavement through
polished Budnik Cobalts, which spin two 275/35ZR18 BF Goodrich
g-Force T/As in front of two 335/30ZR18 BF Goodrich g-Force T/As.
And the car's clean, undercoated floors highlight top-notch
finishing components like a steel scattershield, a custom stainless
fuel tank and Detroit Speed sub-frame connectors.
BETTER MADE BEST
Installed by Chuck Hanna of Mooresville, North Carolina's Hot Rod
Interiors by Chuck, this Chevy's tastefully customized cockpit is
tailored and taut. Front and center, Recaro-style buckets stretch
monochromatic leather under hearty Simpson harnesses. Opposite
those thrones, a traditional dash frames bright Auto Meter Pro-Comp
Ultra-Lite telemetry beside modern Alpine audio and controls for
modern air conditioning. Beneath that dash, a custom, full-length
console centers a digital air/fuel display in front of a short
Tremec shifter. In front of the driver, a tilting Flaming River
column spins a thick Flaming River wheel around metal foot pedals.
And behind the passengers, Dynamat sound insulation sandwiches
trick California Carpet under a Detroit Speed roll bar and custom
side panels.
