Vehicle Description
This is a modern supercar that merely looks like a 1969 Camaro SS.
It's so incredible that looking at pictures is insufficient to
capture the quality and attention to detail that make it one of the
most outstanding pro-touring machines we've ever seen. From the
beautifully rendered sheetmetal to the spectacular interior to the
LS-based drivetrain, this is a Camaro that really does do it all
and doesn't even break a sweat while doing it.
Every square inch of the body was smoothed, sanded, and aligned to
look far better than any factory-built Camaro you've seen. The
stunning charcoal gray paint shimmers in the sunlight, the gaps are
very good, and the overall execution is a high-tech look to an old
favorite. Slightly modified hockey-stick vinyl decal stripes were
added to retain that traditional Camaro flavor, and nothing's
cooler than a cowl-induction hood up front and a ducktail out back
to accentuate the 1969's link to the past. It's been stripped of
almost all its badges and side-marker lights, so it almost looks as
if it was carved out of a single chunk of steel, although the SS
emblems remain and there are subtle LSX badges where the original
engine call-outs would have lived on the front fenders.
Body-colored bumpers help with the sleek pro-touring look and a
carbon-fiber front spoiler reminds us that this is a product of the
21st century, not the late-60s.
The handsome interior continues the monochromatic theme without
losing track of the past. Low-back buckets are supportive and
well-bolstered for the kind of driving you're going to do in this
car, and a custom center console was planted between them. The dash
is neatly finished to look stock but isn't and puts a full array of
Auto Meter instruments ahead of the driver. There's a powerful
AM/FM/CD/iPod stereo system that's especially effective thanks to
sound-deadening materials throughout the body and that billet
shifter controls a 4L80E 4-speed automatic transmission with
razor-sharp reflexes. Even more remarkable is the custom rear seat
area which will actually hold adults without too much complaining
and the trunk is clean but Spartan, holding only the Optima
battery.
The engine is a 6.2 liter LS3 crate motor (AKA the LSX) that's been
augmented with several upgrades that put it over 480 horsepower at
the flywheel. It's set into a beautifully finished engine bay
that's as much old-school hot rod as 21st century tech, with hidden
wiring and plumbing and custom valve covers that advertise the 376
cubes inside. A serpentine belt drive system powers brand new
accessories and there's a giant aluminum radiator up front keeping
it cool under any conditions. The front suspension uses a tubular
subframe and A-arms with Ride Tech coil-over shocks, so it feels
more like a modern Corvette than a vintage F-body, while the rear
end is a custom-built 12-bolt with a Ride Tech 4-link setup and
3.73 gears on a Posi. The floors were painted satin black and
provide a spectacular background for the painted, polished, plated,
and Jet-Hot coated parts, including the Flowmaster exhaust system.
Disc brakes at all four corners are mandatory when you have wheels
that'll show them off, and those Rushforth Night Train hoops wear
19s up front and 20s in the back.
We can't possibly give you the full picture on this stunning
creation, which cost thousands more than the asking price to build
(all of which is documented with receipts). The highest expression
of pro-touring with finish quality to rival the finest rods, this
Camaro is a no-disappointments machine that stands out in every
possible way. Call now!
