This custom 1968 Chevrolet Camaro is powered by a 454ci V8 engine
mated to a Tremec 5-speed manual transmission with a Curry 9-ich
rear end. It was built from the ground up, except for the finishing
bodywork and paint, by a veteran in his garage and completed in
2023. Under the hood is an HP 454ci engine built by Blackfoot
Racing and Gibson Performance Engines. The engine is topped with a
custom-tuned and color-matching Quick Fuel Brawler by RPM
Performance. The ignition is an MSD billet distributor and 6AL
Control Module. Keeping things cool is a Ron Davis double-row
aluminum radiator with dual 13-inch fans. Steering control is
provided with a Sweet Manufacturing-built 12:1 power steering box.
Backing up the engine is a Silversport Tremec 5-speed transmission
and a narrowed Curry 9-inch rear with 3.89 gears, performance
31-spline T&E axles, Tru Trac differential, 1310 Yoke, 9+
nodular sportsman case with a 9+ race pinon. The Ridetech four-link
coilover suspension with a Ridetech rear sway bar keeps all this
power on the ground. An Eddie Motorsports billet full serpentine
belt drives air conditioning, power steering, alternator and water
pump. It rides on custom offset Boze ZE Boost aluminum wheels, with
18x8 Nitto NT555 G2 245/40ZR18 tires on the front and 19x12 Nitto
NT555 G2 305/30ZR19 tires on the rear. It is also equipped with
Wilwood disc brakes front and rear. Front and rears are drilled and
slotted rotors, with 6-piston on the front and 4-piston in the
rear, backed by a Wilwood master cylinder. The fully custom TMI
interior sports leather seats, a one-piece Charcoal headliner,
matching door/quarter interior panels, console, dash cover and rear
package tray. The interior is outfitted with a Vintage Air
climate-control system, Dakota Digital gauges, leather-wrapped Momo
steering wheel, Ididit tilt steering and Nu-Relics power windows
with Rod & Kustom remote locks. The interior is finished off with a
remote RetroSound head unit with Alpine 6x9 in the rear deck and
Alpine 6-inch speakers in the kick panels. This car received a
complete frame-off rotisserie restoration. Every panel was replaced
with new metal. Heidt's subframe connectors keep the body in-line.
The rear wells have been outfitted with Detroit Speed mini-tubs.
The door key holes have been shaved and the firewall has been
smoothed, with the wiper assembly relocated using a RainGear
conversion. It is finished PPG Caught Red Handed with Charcoal
striping. The RS-style hidden headlights are powered by a Detroit
Speed motor. The undercarriage and inner wheel wells have been
sealed and covered with a gloss black Rhino liner. Complete
Ridetech coilover suspension with drop spindles, upgraded
upper/lower tubular control arms in the front and four-link in the
rear are loaded into this car. It also has Ridetech TrueTurn and
sway bar upgrades to provide the ultimate in control Dynamat front
to back, top to bottom. The doors, roof, door sills, quarters, roof
and side cowling are coated with rust proofing. Electrical demands
are satisfied with a Painless wiring harness, with the battery
moved to the trunk. Billet aluminum parts throughout from Eddie
Motorsports include hood hinges and hood catch, rear taillights and
side marker bezels, full front grille with headlight inserts, outer
and inner door handles, sill plate and quarter-vents, console shift
boot bezel and a rearview mirror. The car has a custom TMI
interior, with a matching finished trunk that hides the relocated
Optima yellow-top battery, which is held in place with an Eddie
Motorsports billet battery tray. Also in the trunk is the MSD 6425
6AL ignition control box. The trunk sports a Rod & Kustom remote
open. The fuel door is a billet flip tab from Eddie Motorsports.
