INTRODUCTION: I've seen and owned a lot of incredible 1969 Camaros,
and this one may be the best looking of them all! The Royal Blue
paint paired with the custom saddle leather interior is an
absolutely stunning combination. Add the perfect stance, the right
wheels, and the exceptional quality of the build, and you have a
Camaro that's nothing short of killer. It's a first class custom
that demands attention everywhere it goes.
EXTERIOR: The Royal Blue Metallic paint is absolutely stunning, one
of the best colors you can put on a '69 Camaro. The body was
painstakingly prepped to be laser straight, smooth from the rockers
to the roof. For a cleaner custom look, the antenna, side marker
lights, and quarter panel louvers were removed, while a cowl hood
and front and rear spoilers add just the right amount of muscle.
The metallic is laid out evenly, and the finish has been polished
to a mirror-like shine so deep it looks like you could reach right
into it. The stainless trim, chrome, weatherstrips, and glass have
all been replaced. It's sitting on gorgeous three piece 19-inch
wheels wrapped in Firestone Firehawk performance tires, with extra
wide rubber in back for an aggressive stance. Billet LED taillights
provide a modern finishing touch, and thanks to the air ride
suspension, you can adjust the ride height to exactly where you
want it.
INTERIOR: This is where this Camaro separates itself from so many
other Pro-Touring builds. Instead of a race inspired interior, it
was crafted with the look and feel of a luxury grand touring car.
Every surface has been professionally sculpted, molded, and wrapped
in rich saddle brown leather. The craftsmanship is extraordinary. A
custom full length center console flows from the dash to the rear
seat, incorporating the iconic horseshoe shifter, power window
switches, and a padded armrest while creating the feel of four
individual bucket seats. The custom dash pad is beautifully
contoured and leather wrapped. The blue painted instrument panel
provides a striking contrast and houses a full array of custom
gauges, air vents, push button start and a modern stereo. In front
of the driver is a billet steering wheel with a matching leather
wrapped rim on a tilt column. The custom touches continue
throughout the cabin with a sculpted rear shelf, a molded leather
headliner featuring an overhead console with the air conditioning
controls, and even leather covered floors with carpet inserts.
Speakers are integrated into the design. There isn't a single inch
of this interior that hasn't been thoughtfully redesigned. It's not
only stunning to look at, it's a place you'll genuinely enjoy
spending time behind the wheel.
ENGINE COMPARTMENT: It is every bit as impressive as the rest of
the car. At its heart is an LS3 equipped with a Texas Speed
upper-end package and a Holley Terminator X fuel injection system,
producing well over 500 horsepower with the reliability to enjoy it
anywhere. The engine is beautifully dressed with custom billet
valve covers, a polished cold air intake tube, and a Tru Trac
front-runner accessory drive featuring billet serpentine pulleys,
brackets, a modern A/C compressor, and a high output alternator. It
also features a hydroboost power steering and brake system with
braided stainless hoses, along with a Wilwood master. The engine
bay itself is a work of art, with smooth metal painted the same
gorgeous blue as the exterior. Billet hood hinges, billet fender
supports, and a set of ceramic-coated headers complete the
presentation. An aluminum radiator with dual electric fans keeps
everything running cool. It's an engine compartment that delivers
on both performance and show quality appearance.
TRUNK COMPARTMENT: Under the trunk lid and in the jamb, everything
is finished in the same beautiful blue paint as the exterior.
Inside, the trunk has been completely customized with smooth,
sculpted panels that are professionally wrapped in rich leather
with suede inserts, matching the interior perfectly. On the floor
you'll find a show quality Air Lift air ride system, complete with
polished air tank, compressor, and plumbing, all neatly
displayed.
UNDERSIDE: Every component underneath this Camaro has been
upgraded. Up front is an Art Morrison subframe with C7 Corvette
suspension, including aluminum control arms and rack-and-pinion
steering. Detroit Speed welded and countersunk frame connectors tie
the chassis together, while the rear features a DS four-link
suspension with tubular control arms. It's literally riding on air
with RideTech ShockWave air shocks at all four corners. The fuel
and brake systems have been completely replaced, with four-wheel
disc brakes providing confident stopping power. A great sounding
dual exhaust with Flowmaster mufflers runs beneath the car. Looking
up at the engine, you'll find an aluminum oil pan and a high torque
starter. A 4L80E overdrive automatic with a Circle D converter
sends power through a custom driveshaft to a heavy duty 9-inch rear
end with an aluminum center section and 3.73 posi gears.
SERVICE: We take pride in our cars and our reputation. Every
vehicle goes through our service department where it is inspected,
test driven, and we address the essentials before offering it for
sale.
CONCLUSION: It's hard to beat a Pro-Touring '69 Camaro when it's
done right, and I think this one rises to the very top. This isn't
the kind of car that just turns heads- it drops jaws. If you want
one of the best, I'm giving you your chance!
