On their own, first-generation Camaros are capable of being plenty
fast right off the assembly line. But when a car like this 1968
Chevrolet Camaro Pro Street is purpose-built to dominate the drag
strip, the results are nothing short of figuratively and literally
breathtaking. Fully repainted silver with complementing twin black
racing stripes, this car looks sleekly sinister with its huge
cowl-induction hood and impossible-to-miss mini-tubbed rear.
Inside, we find a somewhat surprisingly comfortable grey and black
interior. The rear seat has been deleted to help compensate for the
addition of the Ridetech roll cage. A pair of aftermarket racing
seats, complete with harnesses, hold both the driver and passenger
firmly in place, ready for blast off. A three-spoke power-assisted
steering wheel sits ahead of a six-pod cluster of AutoMeter
white-faced gauges. A dual-battery setup sits in the trunk, each
secured by its own battery box balanced on either side of the fuel
tank, adding a bit more weight on top of those massive rear wheels
to help this beast hook just a little harder.
Under that aggressive hood, we find a massive 615 cubic-inch
Twisted SR20 V-8 engine. An all-aluminum big block from Brodix,
built by Shafiroff Race Engines, uses custom-ported aluminum heads,
Shafiroff valves, springs, and retainers, along with Morel lifters
and a custom grind camshaft. A single four-barrel Quick Fuel
carburetor pumps 1150 cfm into the intake, while long-tube headers
tie into an H-pipe and send spent gases through a full custom
three-inch ceramic-coated exhaust, capping off with a pair of
FlowMaster mufflers. On 93 octane pump gas, this big block beast
put down a stunning 943.6 crank horsepower. That power is routed
through a Monster Transmission-built TH400 three-speed automatic
transmission, complete with a 4,500 rpm stall converter. From
there, those ponies are herded to the nine-inch Strange Engineering
rear end, which transfers power to the pavement by way of a pair of
17-inch forged Weld Racing wheels shod in steamroller-sized
29X15.00 Mickey Thompson rubber. Up front, a narrower set of
fifteen-inch wheels, wrapped in 27X6.00 M/Ts, handles steering
duties.

This incredible 1968 Chevrolet Camaro Pro Street rides on a fully
custom chassis that incorporates an independent front and four-link
rear suspension, with adjustable QA1 coilovers at all four corners.
A Hydroboost brake system employs four-wheel disc brakes, featuring
powerful (and good-looking) Wilwood calipers at each wheel, ready
to scrub off speed nearly as fast as this boulevard bruiser can
make it. This car was completed in 2023, following a three-year
building process. With everything so new, this beast has barely
been broken in. So, if you love first-gen Camaros but want
something that will make even a Yenko blush, this is the car you've
been waiting for. But don't wait, this car will go fast in more
ways than one. Call today!
