585-HP LS V8 | Tremec TKO 5-Speed | Vintage Air | Moser 12-Bolt
Collectible Motorcar of Atlanta is proud to present this striking
1969 Chevrolet Camaro Z/28 RS Tribute Restomod, a thoughtfully
built first-generation restomod combining unmistakable classic
Camaro styling with the power, drivability, and comfort of a modern
performance car.
Finished in deep black with crisp white Z/28 rally stripes, this
Camaro has an aggressive, timeless appearance. The stripes flow
across the cowl-style hood, roofline, deck lid, and rear spoiler,
creating a dramatic contrast against the glossy black finish. The
front end features the unmistakable Rally Sport appearance,
complete with a blacked-out grille and Detroit Speed electric
hideaway headlight doors. Z/28 and Rally Sport badging, bright
chrome bumpers, deluxe bumper guards, a front chin spoiler, and a
rear deck spoiler complete the classic muscle-car presentation.
Polished five-spoke American Racing wheels give the Camaro a
purposeful stance without overpowering its original body lines. The
staggered 18-inch wheel and tire combination includes 225/45ZR18
front tires and 255/45ZR18 rear tires, providing a wide, planted
look and plenty of road presence.
Under the hood is a cleanly installed LS-based V8 rated at 585
horsepower, built with a street-friendly 9.5:1 compression ratio.
Electronic fuel and ignition management are handled by a Holley
EFI/Terminator system, with an in-cabin display mounted within easy
reach of the driver. The engine bay is neatly presented in gloss
black and features an AFCO aluminum radiator, modern accessory
drive, polished power-brake hardware, and a well-organized
installation.
Long-tube headers feed a full 3-inch exhaust system with Flowmaster
mufflers, giving the Camaro the deep, authoritative exhaust note
expected from an LS-powered first-generation muscle car. The
combination delivers immediate throttle response and strong power
while remaining manageable for regular street use.
Power is sent through a Tremec TKO five-speed manual transmission,
allowing the driver to fully enjoy the LS engine while also
benefiting from an overdrive gear for more relaxed highway
cruising. A white shift ball rises through the woodgrain center
console, giving the upgraded drivetrain a clean, period-inspired
appearance. Out back, a heavy-duty Moser 12-bolt rear end with 3.73
gears provides the strength and gearing needed to put the engine's
power to the pavement.
The chassis has been upgraded to match the drivetrain. Power
steering makes the Camaro easy to maneuver, while power-assisted
four-wheel disc brakes with drilled and slotted rotors deliver
confident stopping performance. This combination of modern braking,
a strong rear axle, wide performance tires, and a five-speed
transmission makes the car considerably more capable and enjoyable
than a stock 1969 Camaro while preserving the direct, mechanical
driving experience enthusiasts appreciate.
The interior is one of the car's strongest features. The black
Deluxe interior is fitted with classic black-and-white houndstooth
upholstery on the front bucket seats and rear bench. The upholstery
pairs beautifully with the black door panels, carpeting, headliner,
and dash, while woodgrain trim across the dashboard and center
console adds warmth and an authentic late-1960s appearance.
A three-spoke rosewood steering wheel is mounted on a tilt steering
column, giving the driver a comfortable seating position and a
classic view across the hood. Instrumentation includes a
factory-style tachometer and a console-mounted auxiliary gauge
package monitoring fuel level, oil pressure, coolant temperature,
and electrical output. The white-ball five-speed shifter,
three-pedal layout, woodgrain console, and houndstooth upholstery
create a cockpit that feels appropriately vintage despite the
modern mechanical upgrades.
A retro-style Custom Autosound stereo system provides updated audio
while retaining a period-correct appearance in the dash. The Holley
engine-management display is positioned near the instrument cluster
for convenient monitoring and adjustment. Vintage Air conditioning
has also been installed and blows cold, making this Camaro far more
comfortable during warm-weather cruising.
The trunk compartment is clean and neatly finished in black spatter
coating, continuing the car's well-presented appearance beyond the
passenger compartment and engine bay.
This 1969 Camaro delivers the visual impact of an iconic Z/28 RS
with a carefully selected collection of modern upgrades. The
585-horsepower LS engine, Tremec five-speed, Moser rear end,
four-wheel disc brakes, power steering, cold air conditioning, and
upgraded cooling system make it a Camaro that can be driven and
enjoyed rather than simply displayed.
With its sinister black-and-white exterior, houndstooth Deluxe
interior, polished American Racing wheels, hideaway headlights,
manual transmission, and powerful LS drivetrain, this Camaro offers
the right balance of classic character and modern performance.
