Vehicle Description
From era-defining tri-fives to world-beating sports cars, Chevrolet
has always delivered approachable, all-American performance. With
that in mind, modification has long been a hallmark of the
Chevrolet brand, and turning a working man's car into a boss icon
is a trick that's almost as old as hot rodding itself. For decades,
southern California has been awash in killer street rods that are
literally rolling pieces of art. Here in the American south, brazen
moonshiners built a racing empire on the backs of upfitted grocery
getters. And in the Midwest, our favorite OEMs are still elevating
corporate powerplants into elite powerhouses. So, when we tell you
this striking Camaro features a roster of choice pro-touring
technology, it shouldn't be a big shock. When we tell you its
storied GM power is actually 6.2 liters of fresh Chevrolet
Performance LS3, it's sure to get your attention. And when you take
a look at some high-resolution photos of what has to be one of the
sharpest American muscle cars on the planet, we're sure you'll be
ready to join the RK Motors family!
INFERNO OF STYLE
The beneficiary of a detailed, no expense spared restoration that's
clean, crisp and ready to roll, this awesome F1 is a thoroughly
modern take on undeniably timeless muscle! That eternal style glows
through glossy Inferno Orange Metallic two-stage that was lifted
straight from The General's modern performance color palette. At
the front of that pigment, fluid Detroit Speed headlights frame a
stainless-trimmed Rally Sport grille between a shaved header, a
painted bumper and modern parking lamps. A requisite Cowl Induction
Hood leads the eye to a stainless-trimmed greenhouse that's cleared
by polished Detroit Speed wipers. A sculpted profile plants
familiar second-generation Camaro mirrors above factory handles,
factory markers and straight stainless rocker guards. And at the
back of the car, a shaved decklid tilts a customized D80 spoiler
over trick Marquez taillights and a second painted bumper.
LEGACY OF PERFORMANCE
Enact this Chevy's polished Billet Specialties hood supports and
you'll find 6.2 liters of divine GM small block. Officially known
as the Chevrolet Performance LS376/480, that trusty engine twists a
respectable 495 horsepower into 473 lb./ft. of pavement-slaying
torque! At the top of the block, a color-keyed Cold Air Intake
slinks breeze through a stylized tube to a proven GM throttle body.
Reliable electronic fuel injection lines a composite GM intake and
rectangular-port L92-style heads. Factory coils fire hot AC Delco
plug wires. A nodular crank, powdered connecting rods and
hypereutectic pistons provide stout 10.7 to 1 compression. A
hydraulic roller cam maximizes intake efficiency. Speaking of
breathing, that smooth valvetrain funnels spent gases through
coated shorty headers. There's a polished AutoRad radiator that's
slid between a polished support, a polished tank and twin puller
fans. A bright serpentine drive spins a polished alternator
opposite a polished AC compressor. Polished Billet Specialties coil
covers join a custom, Inferno Orange engine cowl to add a whole lot
of style. And, as you likely deduced from our photos, the fresh
mill rolls in a smooth, Inferno Orange frame that's finished with
niceties like polished brake components, trick dipsticks and billet
fender braces.
EASE OF ENJOYMENT
Behind the potent engine, a PerformaBuilt Level 3 4L60E 4-speed,
built to handle 800 horsepower, spins a quality Yank 3200 converter
that creates mega thrust right off the line. Power spins through a
Hitchcock Autoworks driveshaft to a narrowed 12-bolt axle that,
sourced directly from Detroit Speed, spins a tough Detroit Locker
around big, 3.73 gears. That pumpkin rolls on a sturdy Detroit
Speed QUADRALink suspension. That clip pushes a Detroit Speed
hydroformed front-half. Performance is optimized by adjustable
coil-over-shocks that feature remote reservoirs. That chassis,
solidified by subframe connectors, skates under, you guessed it,
predictable Detroit Speed mini tubs. Turns come courtesy of
athletic power rack-and-pinion steering. Stops are provided by
14-inch drilled and slotted rotors, which get clamped by 6-piston
Baer calipers. Custom exhaust funnels spent gases through a
stainless Dynatech crossover and rowdy Flowmaster mufflers. A
massive aftermarket fuel tank supplies plenty of 'go juice'. And at
the corners, attractive Fikse Profils carry 275/35ZR18 front and
335/30ZR18 rear BF Goodrich g-Force T/As.
SENSE OF PLEASURE
Between the doors, Chuck Hanna of Mooresville, North Carolina's Hot
Rod Interiors installed a virtual sea of custom leather. Front and
center, a quartet of modern buckets wraps thick bolsters in
emollient tan hides. Crisp Speedhut telemetry joins discreet
Vintage Air climate control on a custom dash that was created by
incorporating elements of both '68 and '69 Camaros. A custom,
full-length console centers a modern shifter behind clever Speedhut
accessory gauges and snazzy Pioneer touchscreen audio. Plush wool
carpet bridges the gap between custom side panels that frame billet
handles. Naturally, a custom headliner flows to a custom package
tray, which fronts a custom-upholstered trunk that hides a Kicker
amp, a Power Acoustik sub and an Optima gel cell battery. And the
driver spins a classy Luisi steering wheel around a tilting Ididit
column.
Owning a lights-out classic is cool. Owning a lights-out classic
that's been tastefully customized is something few are lucky enough
to experience. Owning a tastefully customized, lights-out classic
that's propelled by one of the best powerplants ever created is the
stuff most gearheads dream about. Don't miss your chance to enjoy
this incredible Camaro pro-tourer!
