Vehicle Description
1968 Chevrolet Camaro Pro Street
Pro Street is a style of street-legal custom car, usually built for
drag racing. Cars of this type typically feature a narrowed rear
axle coupled with oversized rear tires for maximum grip and a large
capacity V8 engines often supercharged. A specific type of race
car, typically American muscle cars. This class of vehicles are
highly tuned, intended for pro-class races, but still have the
ability to be street-legal (that they have proper safety features,
lights and signals, and depending on jurisdictions, keep within a
specified weight-to-horsepower ratio).
This street legal, drag race looker, custom painted, with only
1,900 miles on a 4 year old build, and engine changed Camaro is a
real head turner. Whether it's the noise it produces for your ears
or your eyes, it is almost like you cannot look away. Blending all
the looks of Pro Street and an updated modern drivetrain we have a
looker and a cooker at our fingertips. Strap in and hold on, it's
gonna be a fast ride!
Exterior
Straight steel panels are covered in a dark blue leaning toward the
spectrum of purple paint. The paint shows in the deep end of the
pool and gray stripes start on the header panel and race down the
sides ending in a point at the rear of the door. A huge rearward
facing hood scoop is on, the front bumper is shaved, and the
exterior stripped of most badging. A black vinyl top has been
installed and looks fab, chrome drip moldings, window surrounds,
and bumper on the rear are in good condition. A fabricated aluminum
rear wing is bolted on to keep those big tires firmly planted to
the ground. Polished Weld Prostar wheels are on all 4 corners with
26X7.50 tires in the front and massive 33X19.50 tires on the rear
all in 15" size. A shout out to the nicely carpeted trunk which
holds both the battery and a fuel cell.
Interior
A swing of the door and we are met with beautifully customized door
panels in dark charcoal leather with diagonal tuck and roll
stitching in leather and suede in the center. Bright and shiny
chrome window cranks and door handles give some bling to the doors.
Dark charcoal leather and suede continues to the modern front
bucket seats which have smooth bolsters with both leather, suede
and snappy red stitching while the centers have a suede tuck and
roll design and are ergonomically designed to keep your posterior
firmly planted. The rear seat has been removed to make space for
the large tire tubs and a roll cage with padding keeps the driver
and passenger safe in case of a whoopsie going down the track. The
factory dash has been retained but a speedometer and tachometer by
Autometer now replace the factory instrumentation. Moving to the
center of the dash we have more Autometer gauges to monitor engine
vitals along with an AM/FM by Custom Autosound and a Vintage Air
system to keep the cabin nice and comfortable on the long street
drives. A B&M shifter sits on the center of the hump and is
surrounded by nice black carpeting while a suede black headliner
hangs above. A big thanks to TMI for the full on custom
interior.
Drivetrain
Underneath the big scooped hood resides a 6.2L LS series V8
complete with a stage 2 camshaft, ported and polished heads and a
supercharger all working together to the tune of 750 consignor
stated horsepower. A 4L85E 4-speed automatic transmission built to
handle 1,000hp sends power back to a narrowed Ford 9" with 3.55
gears and a TruTrac center.
Undercarriage
A black painted non original frame and sheet metal floors give this
car its backbone. All is clean and rust free, the way we like it. A
tubular coil over front suspension is on in front while a ladder
bar setup with coilovers is on the rear with both sets of coilovers
being double adjustable. Wilwood power disc brakes provide the
stopping power while a power rack and pinion setup allows steering
with ease. Headers send spent fossils through Borla mufflers and
out from under the body just in front of the rear tires.
Drivability
I was off for a pedicure and foot soak when the drive time came due
for this car so my partner in crime took the wheel and fired back
his report. A twist of the key and holding down a button to make
the computer systems come online and the car roared to life.
Acceleration was limitless all the while cruising with ice cold air
conditioning keeping the cabin cold. Steering was smooth and the
Wilwood brakes made for bias free braking in record time. A
wonderful performer and thanks to the TMI custom seats you stay
well planted even during the hardest gooses of the throttle.
A well-built and fully sorted Pro Streeter here for the taking.
Miles deep paint, a comfortable custom interior and a modern
drivetrain make for a car that can be driven to and from shows or
taken to the track to put a spanking on some unsuspecting Mustangs.
But better hurry because like all good things, this won't last!
