Wrap At first glance this car looks like a simple base model
vintage Camaro, that has been custom painted. But it's actually a
Pro-Touring build which has such a long list of goodies, we may
have trouble keeping this description short. The car features
suspension upgrades, custom body treatment, and many engine and
driveline modifications. A quick look over the car and you're able
to see that the exterior has been kept simple, and the interior has
stock bucket seats, but something about the car makes you confident
in making the assumption that there is more than meets the eye. The
car featured here is a 1969 Chevrolet Camaro finished in Trixster
Orange Metallic paint over a black interior. As a car that is
considered a pro-touring build, a simple exterior shouldn't be too
much of a surprise since a pro-touring model is a car that has all
aspects that affect performance modified or upgraded. Spoilers at
the front and rear are notably absent, the hood has no louvers, and
it is not a cowl hood. Other than the Trixster Orange Metallic
paint and the aftermarket wheels, there are no outward hints to
what lies beneath.The paint was applied by Keith Strong, formerly
of Ice Nine Customs, which is a shop known for impressive custom
projects. The paint is like glass, with even color and high gloss
throughout. The body panels are dialed in and line up as they
should, and chrome and brightwork is in beautiful condition. The
car has a slight rake and sits on Boze 18 inch alloy wheels wrapped
in sticky BFGoodrich tires. A neat and tidy interior hides the many
neatly integrated modifications present, which could fool the
average Joe. Those who know what to expect from a first generation
Camaro interior will immediately spot the gauge cluster that is
mounted on the center console. The horseshoe shifter sits above a
carbon fiber trim panel, and a few toggle switches are neatly
integrated next to the knob for the lights. A Pioneer stereo and
Holley EFI display panel make up the visible electronic
modifications. While left simple, the interior is nicely kept and
presents well. A quick glance into the engine bay brings the
saying, there's no replacement for displacement to mind. A finely
detailed 468ci V8 sits under the hood and is mated to an upgraded
700R4 automatic transmission. A Holley Sniper electronic fuel
injection has been installed taking the place of carburetion, and a
BeCool radiator and transmission cooler help keep the driveline
cool. A Currie Ford 9 rear end helps get the power to the extra
wide wheels and tires. The wide wheels fit in the rear wheel wells
thanks to a mini-tub completed with parts from DSE. In order to
make this car handle like it's on rails, a number of upgrades were
made, with the first being DSE's Speed 1 front suspension
components. The DSE quadralink rear suspension includes Koni
shocks, and subframe connectors were added. A Baer braking system
which consists of discs on all four corners help bring this car to
a stop. Smooth, simple looks may fool folks at first glance, but
don't be mistaken, this car has a great deal of performance
capabilities. The upg
