business. And what's better: it's a fully sorted cruiser that was
built, above all else, to be driven and enjoyed. Want an impressive
ride that you can hop in, turn the key and sail some blacktop with?

PIECE BY PIECE
Built by a passionate enthusiast who enlisted the well-known
wizards at Roadster Shop for world class finishing work, this sweet
Camaro was transformed from a solid driver into what could be the
ultimate resto-mod. Visually, that exclusive status is achieved
through solid sheetmetal, which was stripped bare and painted in
pieces. That pigment manifests as a slick take on traditional
Garnet Red two-stage that's garnished with traditional Tuxedo Black
Rally Stripes. And today, this legendary Chevy rolls as one
razor-sharp F1 that's poised to show and raring to go!
Many enthusiasts believe the 1969 Camaro is both the pinnacle of
muscle car design and the zenith of classic Chevy design. This
perennial token of mechanical expressionism kicks off with a
familiar Super Sport grille, which centers bright halogen
headlights and a clean "SS" emblem above clear parking lamps, a
polished bumper and a requisite D80 spoiler. An ornate Camaro
header leads a slight Cowl Induction Hood, which leads chip-free
glass that's sandwiched between bright wipers, bright frames and
bright drip rails. At the sides of the car, a sculpted profile
centers intricate fender emblems and optional quarter louvers
between factory door handles, standard rocker trim and a duo of
factory mirrors. And at the back of that profile, a second D80
spoiler shades a second "SS" emblem, a second polished bumper and
segmented taillights.
THE 'NOT A BIG BLOCK' BIG BLOCK
Pop this classic's polished hood latch and you'll find 427 cubic
inches of rowdy Chevy small block that twists a solid 553
horsepower into 576 lb./ft. of effortless torque! All that glory
begins with a tough Dart Special High Performance block, which
works well with a forged crank, forged H-beam rods, forged pistons
and a hydraulic roller cam. A reusable filter element drops breeze
through an 830cfm Holley, which surfs a block-matched Dart Special
High Performance intake. That intake feeds hot Dart PRO1 heads,
which flash aluminum casting between stainless breathers, smooth
roller rockers and custom, laser-etched valve covers. The fires get
lit by MSD 6AL ignition, which sequences spark between an MSD
Blaster coil, an MSD Pro-Billet distributor and loomed MSD Super
Conductor plug wires. Custom Lemons headers, Jet Hot-coated for
both form and function, cage a deep-sump oil pan. At the front of
those tubes, a polished Billet Specialties Tru Trac serpentine
drive spins an Edelbrock water pump between a polished AC
compressor, a polished power steering pump and a polished
Powermaster alternator. In front of those ancillaries, a big Ron
Davis radiator tilts a polished cap over big SPAL puller fans. And
on the visual end of the spectrum, billet hood supports and trick
Fesler brace bars perfectly complement polished hardware, trick
dipsticks and a subdued Wilwood master cylinder.
RUN WITH THE BEST
Park this Chevy on a lift and you'll find solid floorpans that,
during the car's extensive restoration, were stripped, prepped,
coated in epoxy and finished in clean Satin Black sheen. Behind the
427, a tough Turbo-Hydramatic 400 3-speed combines an extreme duty
sprag and an extreme duty drum with a race kit, a valve body kit
and a street stall to spin up to 600 horsepower. That gearbox turns
a custom Moser driveshaft that's good for up to 600 lb./ft. of
torque. That tube twists a powder-coated Moser MUSCLE PAK rear end
that's finished with 3.73 gears, a Truetrac differential, 31-spline
axles and a 1350 yoke. That pumpkin rides Detroit Speed leafs,
which float between CalTracs traction bars and double-adjustable
QA-1 shocks. That clip pushes powder-coated GM control arms, which
float amid Belltech springs, Belltech drop spindles and two more
double-adjustable QA-1 shocks. All that kit is stiffened by a
tubular Chassisworks transmission mount and welded Hotchkis
subframe connectors. Fuel is supplied by a billet Holley HP pump,
which drains a polished Detroit Speed tank. Charred dinosaurs
traverse stainless, Mandrel-bent pipes, which roar through an
X-shaped crossover and throaty MagnaFlow mufflers. At the corners,
stainless brake lines charge Wilwood Superlite 6R calipers, which
squeeze 20 pistons around two 13-inch rotors and two 12-inch
rotors. In front of those drilled and slotted discs, Forgeline
Premier Series SP3Ps spin 225/40R18 Nitto Invos in front of
275/30ZR19 Nitto Invos. And choice detailing includes Moog
bushings, billet clamps, polyurethane mounts and stainless
hardware.
SETTING THE STANDARD
The Standard Black Interior hiding behind this Camaro's glossy
doors is a correct factory affair that, 53 years after its debut,
is still both stylish and cool. Tall bucket seats, sourced from
YEARONE, frame a factory console that's finished with 4-pack
accessory gauges. In front of that island, a monochromatic dash
hangs rebuilt factory telemetry over an AM/FM stereo and Vintage
Air Gen IV climate control. That seat, dash and console trifecta is
completely framed by a tight headliner, fade-free side panels and
clean carpet. And the driver spins a reproduction Chevrolet Rally
Wheel beside a familiar Horseshoe Shifter that's wired with line
lock.
The product of a detailed, ground-up build that would probably take
a second mortgage to duplicate, this Chevy rolls on the right side
of impressive. It's a highly desirable muscle car that's been
carefully fitted with all the right stuff to be one seriously cool
cruiser. If you're dreaming of the perfect blend of old school
Motor City style and modern, reliable performance, you've found the
ultimate classic!
