Known as "Blue My Mind," this custom 1969 Chevrolet Camaro is the
ultimate Pro-Touring muscle car with a one-of-a-kind design. As the
original VIN number indicates, this car was originally built in
Norwood, Ohio, as a 1969 Camaro coupe with an eight-cylinder
engine. It is the product of a show-quality restoration utilizing
high-quality parts throughout. The custom body modifications
include a cowl-induction hood with vents from a Shelby GT500 Super
Snake, Kindig-It Design recessed door handles, 3-inch extended
rocker panels and molded rear spoiler with quarter extensions, both
with 10-gauge steel. It was finished in the gorgeous color of
Corvette Laguna Blue, which is also called Blue My Mind. Other
exterior features include all-new glass, Detroit Speed electric
headlight covers, Vision VF4 slanted oval mirrors, Anvil tucked
front bumper, Fesler LED taillights, recessed billet gas cap,
tucked rear bumper, molded license plate on lower valance and
brushed trim. It has a great stance on custom Bonspeed brushed
wheels that are 18x10 on the front and 18x12 on the rear. The
wheels are mounted to new Toyo Proxes R888R Competition Street
Legal tires. The rear was outfitted with Detroit Speed mini-tubs to
accommodate the massive 335-30-18 rear tires. The custom interior
was hand-stitched with black leather and blue accents. Some of the
interior features include a Detroit Speed four-point roll cage,
Flaming River keyless start, a Classic Instruments aluminum dash
panel, AutoMeter Phantom gauges, Vintage Air climate control,
Fesler armrests, Clayton Machine hardware, Flaming River tilt

Kicker amplifiers, two Kicker 5.25 front speakers and two Kicker
6x9 speakers. The boxed and carpeted trunk compartment is home to
the Optima Red Top battery. The hood pivots on Ringbrothers
aluminum hinges. The firewall was smoothed and the Rain Wiper motor
was relocated under the cowl panel. The engine bay was dressed with
Van Natta Fabrication inner fenders and radiator support panel.
It's powered by a GM Performance 376ci LS3 V-8 crate engine rated
with 525hp. It utilizes a GM computer system with American Auto
Wiring. The engine was dressed with a color-matched AVS Motorsports
Speedcover with billet appointments, custom color-matched air
intake, Drive Junky billet accessory drive system, Mishimoto oil
separator, Mast Motorsports oil pan, Powermaster alternator and MSD
starter. The engine is cooled by a custom DeWitts Direct-Fit
aluminum radiator with dual SPAL electric fans. The engine breathes
through ceramic Ultimate headers and a custom Schwartz Performance
fabricated exhaust system. The engine is coupled to a Tremec T56
six-speed close-ratio manual transmission supplied by Bowler. It's
equipped with a Quick Time bellhousing, Spicer U-joints and LS7
clutch, flywheel and pressure plate. The power is transferred to
the Strange 9-inch Pro Nodular Positraction rear end with 3.89
gears. Some of undercarriage features include power rack-and-pinion
