EXTERIOR
The professional Glasurit base coat/clear coat finish in custom-mixed Hugger Orange pearl makes a stunning first impression. The body has been properly stripped and straightened, allowing the second-generation Camaro's flowing lines to shine. Pearl white Z28 stripes provide stunning contrast, creating a dynamic appearance that elevates the classic performance look. Front and rear spoilers complement the performance stance, while new chrome bumpers add the right amount of brilliance. The package is properly finished with factory Rally wheels, and the installation of a new windshield and fresh window tint complete the exterior restoration. The trunk compartment has been cleaned and repainted, finished in factory style with spare tire and jack assembly.

MECHANICALS
Under the hood, you'll find a freshly detailed engine bay housing the 350 V8, enhanced with select performance upgrades. The engine features an Edelbrock Performer intake manifold topped with an Edelbrock carburetor, aluminum valve covers, and tubular headers. A performance air cleaner and Cold Case aluminum radiator with dual electric fans keep this powerplant running strong and cool. The high-compression engine pairs with a Turbo 400 transmission, while power steering and a new power brake booster ensure confident control. The overall engine bay presentation is clean and restored, reflecting the quality of work carried throughout the rest of the vehicle.

INTERIOR
The cabin has received thoughtful updates while maintaining its original character. New bucket seats and fresh seat covers provide proper support, complemented by a new center console. The restoration continues with new door cards, new carpet, and a new dashpad. While some interior elements retain their original patina, the overall environment strikes a perfect balance between fresh components and honest character.
