Gateway Classic Cars Houston Showroom is proud to present this 1989
Chevrolet Camaro RS.
The third-generation Chevrolet Camaro helped define American
performance throughout the 1980s with its sleek aerodynamic
styling, lightweight chassis, and unmistakable road presence. While
the RS offered sporty styling from the factory, this 1989 example
has been transformed into a thoughtfully built restomod that
combines classic third-generation Camaro looks with upgraded V8
performance and modern drivability.
Finished in an attractive maroon exterior over a black vinyl
interior, this Camaro has undergone an extensive restoration and
performance build. Originally assembled using the body and
suspension from a 1987 Camaro IROC-Z and the body panels and
compatible components from a 1989 Camaro RS, the project was later
taken a step further with the installation of a rebuilt 5.7-liter
Chevrolet 357 CID V8. The engine features a 4-bolt main block with
a hydraulic cam and lifters, iron heads, an Edelbrock intake
manifold, Edelbrock 4-barrel carburetor, custom headers, and a
custom exhaust system. Power is sent to the rear wheels through a
rebuilt Borg-Warner T56 6-speed manual transmission, giving this
Camaro an engaging driving experience.
Keeping everything running cool is an upgraded cooling system
featuring a Champion aluminum radiator, electric cooling fan, and
modified shrouds. The fuel system has also been upgraded with an
electric fuel pump, bypass regulator, new dual fuel lines, and a
vapor trap system. Handling and stopping power have been improved
with four-wheel disc brakes, new suspension bushings, and a
Posi-Traction rear differential equipped with 3.73 gears, helping
this Camaro put its power to the pavement.
Inside, the cockpit blends classic Camaro styling with desirable
upgrades. You'll find comfortable black vinyl seating along with
Dakota Digital gauges that provide a clean, modern look while
monitoring the engine's vital information. Additional comfort
features include working air conditioning and heat, power windows,
power door locks, electric hatch release with optional keyed entry,
and a Kenwood sound system featuring dual 10-inch subwoofers and a
remote control. Completing the exterior appearance are 17-inch
custom IROC-style wheels wrapped in newer tires that give this
Camaro an aggressive stance.
