As a general rule in life, if you're going to do something, you
should always try to do it well. And while this ideology can be
applied to almost anything, it is especially crucial when restoring
a classic muscle car. Sure, there is no shortage of
first-generation Pony Cars out there; we can all but guarantee that
few, if any, have been built as well as this 1969 Chevrolet Camaro
RS Restomod Tribute. Its full black repaint adds a layer of
subtlety that gently subdues its front and rear spoilers, custom
taillights, an expertly installed new windshield, and an otherwise
aggressive cowl-induction hood. Of course, all of that
under-the-radar look vanishes the instant you turn the key.
But first, inside, we find an exquisite custom leather interior
featuring red-and-black diamond-stitched upholstery, supportive
bucket seats, and a custom center console with dual cupholders and
a padded armrest. A power-assisted Billet Specialties wheel sits
ahead of a trick six-pod white-faced AutoMeter gauge cluster
featuring a 10,000-rpm tachometer and a 140-mph speedometer. A
Vintage Air HVAC panel offers fully functional air conditioning,
while just below, a custom switch panel houses power window and
lock controls. A sneaky-cool pull-out remote control allows you to
operate the Kenwood AM/FM/AUX/CD/Bluetooth single DIN head unit in
the truck, while the 8-ball-style shifter knob offers control of
the rear entertainment up front.
Under the hood, we find the subtle red-and-black theme carried over
to the air cleaner, red spark plug wires, and black valve covers.
Of course, on those valve covers are three numbers that put an end
to the low-key vibe. A naturally-aspirated GM Performance 572
cubic-inch crate V-8 engine sporting matching GMP aluminum heads,
Edelbrock FAST electronic fuel injection, long tube headers, and
X-pipe dual exhaust, and MagnaFlow mufflers. That big block power
is routed through a tried-and-true Tremec five-speed manual
transmission before heading out to the Currie 9-inch rear end.

This 1969 Chevrolet Camaro RS Restomod Tribute rides on an upgraded
suspension that includes Chassisworks tubular control arms with
adjustable coilovers and a sway bar up front, while Ridetech
control arms, coilovers, and adjustable sway bars comprise the rear
suspension. A set of subframe connectors helps keep everything
tight, even around the most challenging of corners. Staggered
Billet Specialties wheels measuring 18 inches up front and 19
inches in the rear are shod in wide Nitto rubber measuring
275/35ZR-18 and 335/30ZR-19, respectively.
Barely hiding behind those beautiful ten-spoke wheels are Wilwood
brakes featuring 6-piston front and 4-piston rear calipers that
clamp down on cross-drilled and slotted rotors at all four corners.
We typically don't like to play favorites with our cars, but there
is simply no denying the spectacular build quality and attention to
detail of this restomodded first-gen Camaro. If you've been
searching for the right Pony Car to add to your stable, this big
block thoroughbred is the one you have been waiting for. Remember,
if you're going to do something, you might as well do it right -
and that goes double for spending your hard-earned money on a
classic muscle car. Call today!
