Vehicle Description
West Coast Classics are proud to present an absolutely exceptional
and beautiful example of this stylishly customized with no expense
spared all American classic muscle car - a 1969 Chevrolet Camaro
Convertible in 'Matte Black' (from it's original Tuxedo Black) with
it's original factory 'Black Houndstooth' bucket seats interior and
boasting a new crate ZZ427/480HP V8 engine (the modern take on the
L88) with less than 500 miles on the build and which is matched to
a 4 speed M22 'Muncie' 'rock crusher' close ratio manual
transmission with 12 bolt rear end and boasting a cowl hood, R/S
kit including headlamps amp; tail lights, power steering, power
windows, tilt steering, front amp; rear spoilers amp; vintage air
conditioning!This is an original X22 SS396 with style trim Big
Block car with the D80 Air Spoiler Equipment which has been custom
restored with no expense spared and which now boasts a new
ZZ427/480HP crate engine. The L88 427 had been the ultimate
expression of Chevys production Big-Block power, combining a rigid
iron cylinder block with lightweight aluminum cylinder heads and a
single 4 barrel carburetor. The ZZ427/480 features the
latest-generation in big block casting with four-bolt main caps, an
all-forged rotating assembly for exceptional strength and
durability, and a hydraulic roller camshaft instead of the original
L88s flat-tappet cam, for greater drivability and a broader
performance range. It also features aluminum oval-port cylinder
heads with 2.19/1.88-inch valves and a pump-gas-friendly 10.0:1
compression ratio. Todays' engineers have recreated a modern take
on the classic L88 with that classic, raspy rat engine, but with
updated components that enhance both drivability and
performance!Whether you're looking for a 69 COPO Camaro resto-mod
tribute, a modified mid-year Corvette or a street-tire class
winner, this heritage-inspired crate engine delivers the
performance that built the Big-Blocks legendary reputation.TECH
