Once you make the decision to resurrect an old-school muscle car
using modern technology, there is a right way and several wrong
ways to do it. But oftentimes, finding the right way means learning
a few of those wrong ways first. Well, one look at this 1969
Chevrolet Camaro LS3 Restomod, and it's clear that this first-gen
Pony Car was redone about as right as it gets. Fully repainted in
this House of Kolor Candy Apple Red over Cinder Red Metallic
exterior paint, white hockey stick-shaped side stripes complement
the aggressive lines of this Camaro, polished Foose wheels, and a
subtle yet suggestive dropped stance, along with the tastefully
placed LS3 badges, suggest that this is a bit more than your
father's muscle car.
Inside this beautiful beast, we find a clean, inviting custom White
Calf Leather interior, complete with plush, supportive bucket seats
separated by a center console, power windows, and air conditioning.
A banjo-style Rosewood power-assisted steering wheel sits in front
of a hybrid analog/digital Dakota Digital VHX dashboard, while a
Pioneer AM/FM/CD/AUX/Bluetooth/Satellite head unit handles
soundtrack duties to keep the vibe in sync with your emotions for
wherever the road takes you.
Under that expansive hood, we find a bevy of chrome adorning a
sweet 6.2-liter overhead valve LS3 crate V-8. With a lightweight
aluminum block and heads, sequential-port fuel injection, a
composite intake manifold, and high-flow injectors, this Gen IV
small-block is capable of producing at least 426 horsepower and 420
pound-feet of torque. Tack on a mild performance cam, Hooker
long-tube headers, and a true dual exhaust, and those numbers are
undoubtedly a bit higher. Power is routed through a 4L60E
four-speed automatic transmission before being sent out to the
3.50-geared Posi rear.

Not only is this 1969 Chevrolet Camaro LS3 Restomod LSX built to be
a boulevard bruiser, but unlike its original setup, this car is
configured to tackle the twisties with the same alacrity as the
dragstrip. Riding on a Heidts front and rear suspension that uses a
power rack and pinion, tubular A-arms, subframe connectors, and a
sway bar, this Camaro also gets a set of adjustable coilovers to
help it stay glued to the pavement by way of a gorgeous set of
Foose wheels. And when it comes time to pull the reins on all the
gobs of power at your disposal, Wilwood power brakes are ready to
clamp down and scrub off speed in no time, thanks to 11-inch
rotors. So, if you've always wanted to do a restomod, but weren't
sure which was the right way and which was the wrong way, don't
worry, because this car is the embodiment of all the right ways.
