Vehicle Description
By now you've probably realized your friends at RK Motors enjoy
finding killer first-generation Camaros. The faster, the scarier,
the more unique: THE BETTER! Over the past ten years, we've brought
you some of the most mind-blowing, potent and flat-out nasty
pro-touring resto-mods in the muscle car scene. And, based on the
countless times we've watched these cars roll through our showroom,
you guys enjoy them just as much as we do. Then again, how could
anyone not love a stylish classic that can outrun, out turn, out
stop and out class machines that are half its age and twice its
price? Combining the best of yesterday with the best of today and
tomorrow, this exquisite 1968 Camaro, wrapping 496 cubic inches of
professionally built big block in proven hardware and tasteful
aesthetics, was created for the enthusiast who wants the absolute
best. If you've been languishing at your desk debating a purchase
while your favorite F-bodies cycle through our inventory, here's a
quick chance at redemption!
SIMPLE IS GOOD
Completing an intricate transformation from solid Detroit steel
into a lean, mean Chevrolet dream machine, this spectacular F1
displays bodywork that's nothing short of excellent! The car's
professional, ground-up restoration started with an original Camaro
body that was stripped completely bare. Once that shell was
thoroughly prepped, each of its panels was carefully aligned to
uniform consistency. And presently, those meticulously fitted
panels reflect brilliant Victory Red two-stage that was sprayed in
late 2021. The end result is one seriously lethal showpiece that
has major street presence and exceptional curb appeal!
Zoom in on the details and this custom continues to impress. At the
front of its body, a clean Super Sport grille hangs a classy Super
Sport emblem between bright headlights, clear parking lamps and an
aggressive, rally-style valance. A shaved header leads a requisite
Cowl Induction Hood, which leads a tinted greenhouse that's framed
in traditional factory stainless. At the sides of that glass, small
factory mirrors join bright GM handles and small '68 markers to add
just the right amount of flash to the car's shaved profile. And at
the back of that profile, a second D80 spoiler shades a satin Super
Sport valance that's dressed with a polished bumper, a Super Sport
fuel cap and '68-exclusive taillights.
BIGGER IS BETTER
Gaze into this Chevy's smooth engine bay and you'll find 496 cubic
inches of big block fury that, professionally assembled in late
2021, is just as comfortable cruising country roads as it is lining
up at late night stoplights! At the top of the sinister mill, a
slick Billet Specialties Streamline air cleaner caps a big Holley
4-barrel that's wired with braided Fragola lines, a compact Holley
regulator and a liquid-filled Marshall pressure gauge. A perfect
air/fuel mixture flows through a Charcoal Gray Edelbrock Victor Jr.
intake to Charcoal Gray heads, which anchor slick Billet
Specialties Streamline valve covers under billet breathers. Those
aluminum heads work well with a forged rotating assembly, a
custom-grind roller cam and hydraulic roller lifters. At the back
of that cam, a hot points distributor sequences sparks through
loomed Taylor Spiro Pro plug wires. Below those wires,
ceramic-coated Hedman shorties funnel spent gases into
large-diameter, true-dual exhaust. At the front of those tubes, a
Billet Specialties Tru Trac accessory drive spins a muted
Powermaster alternator opposite billet timing components, a muted
AC compressor and a color-keyed Edelbrock water pump. A factory
core support anchors a big aluminum radiator between billet fender
bars and a large electric puller fan. Naturally, this monster's
builders, Harrington's Machine Shop of Taylorsville, North
Carolina, added choice detailing like ARP bolts, Billet Specialties
hood supports, a deep Moroso oil pan and mesh hood grilles. And it
all adds up to 701 dyno-proven horsepower and 643 lb./ft. of
dyno-proven torque!
SPEAKING OF PROVEN
Take a gander under this wicked F-Body and you'll find a fully
detailed chassis that mixes new age technology with old school
durability. Solid floorpans wear a clean combination of Victory Red
two-stage and battle-ready undercoating. At the center of those
floors, a tough 700R4 4-speed makes excellent use of a tough Ford
9-inch, which spins a Truetrac differential around big, 3.73 gears.
Stopping is a cinch thanks to a Wilwood master cylinder, a Wilwood
proportioning valve and four Wilwood calipers. Power-assisted turns
are greatly enhanced by a RideTech TruTurn Steering System. That
system leads a RideTech MuscleBar, RideTech StrongArms and RideTech
coil-over-shocks. At the back of the car, a RideTech 4-link
balances two more RideTech coil-overs between beefy subframe
connectors and high quality mini tubs. Exhaust is channeled through
large stainless pipes, which swirl sweet rumbles through an
X-shaped crossover and throaty MagnaFlow mufflers. And torque melts
the pavement thanks to handsome Billet Specialties Cambers, which
spin 245/40ZR18 Michelin Pilot Sports in front of 325/30ZR19
Michelin Pilot Sports.
SPEAKING OF HANDSOME
Behind the car's solid-closing doors you'll find a factory Deluxe
Interior that provides just the right amount of classic flash!
Front-and-center, a warp-free dash hangs modern telemetry beside
modern, direct-fit audio and Vintage Air climate control. Below
that dash, a factory console slides a factory Horseshoe Shifter on
fade-free carpet that frames billet foot pedals. Deluxe bucket
seats look great between Deluxe side panels and crisp Hertz
speakers. And the driver spins a traditional Chevrolet Rally Wheel
around a tilt steering column.
In summary, this awesome Camaro represents creative engineering at
its very finest, combining timeless design with no-excuses,
no-limits performance. Put it on a pedestal and stare at it... Take
it to the local cruise in... Whatever you elect to do with this
cool coupe, it's sure to be the centerpiece of your collection, the
focal point of your garage and, most importantly, the car you most
look forward to driving and being seen in!
