Ready for the Power Tour? Your answer just might be this drop
dead gorgeous 1970 Chevrolet Camaro SS split bumper Restomod.
Finished in stunning Mulsanne Blue metallic with black Z/28 stripes
and full custom leather interior, this first year Gen 2 Camaro is
more than all show with a host of modifications and upgrades that
start with a Chevrolet Performance ZZ 502 Deluxe crate motor.
Not familiar with Chevrolet Performance crate motors? Well this
isn't just any swap, this is a GM Factory built 4-bolt main cast
iron block with all forged rotating assemblies (steel crank and
rods, aluminum pistons), aluminum oval port high flow heads,
aluminum intake topped off with a Holley 870cfm four barrel
carburetor and K and N breather. Ignition comes from a full MSD HEI
Blaster kit including distributor, coil, wires and digital control
box. Aluminum water pump, high capacity aluminum radiator with dual
electric puller fans. Canton Racing Products Big Block Street T
Pan. The whole assembly is externally balanced. Thrush Turbo
mufflers fed through 2.5" stainless steel H-pipes out back. This
502 cubic inch beast is rated at 508 horsepower and 580 foot pounds
of torque with a compression ratio of 9.6:1.
All that power is delivered to the ground through a 373 10 bolt
Limited Slip Differential rear end via a heavy duty Turbo 400
automatic transmission with a very slick and smooth shifting "his
and her" Hurst shifter borrowed from an Olds 442. The twin gate
Hurst shifter has a full automatic and semi manual ratchet mode
console shifter for spirited driving.
This car rolls down the road like a modern car on Classic
Performance Products upper and lower tubular control arms, QA1
fully adjustable aluminum coilovers and a beefy 1.25" sway bar in
the front. All welded subframe connectors. custom fabricated
shackles, tuned rear leafs supported by gas charged Bilstein shocks
and a 1" sway bar keep the wheels on the ground at launch without
sacrificing the ride. Willwood Superlite 14" front, 13" rear power
disk brake conversion will haul this thing down in a hurry without
drama or fade. Set up with a level stance and clad with fresh Nitto
NT555R radials on 18" staggered Foose classic five spokes this is a
seriously fine driving Camaro.
Almost as important as how a power tour car performs is how
comfortable the interior is. This car meets that standard with
power seats modified from a later model Camaro, power windows and
tilt wheel. Leather wrapped dash, door panels and both A and C
pillars. The headliner features a multifunction dome light and the
dash has been fully customized with electronic (analog) gauges,
vintage air and a kick ass stereo.
This car starts right up, steers, stops and shifts flawlessly.
Under heavy foot it will push you back in the seat and make lust
worthy muscle car sounds. If you must, it will shred tires and
scratch through all three gears. It's reasonably quiet and
compliant cruising down the interstate at 70 mph.This is a classic
car that can be driven daily.
All told there is close to $100,000 invested in this build,
validated by Hagerty's agreed value assessment of $94,000. But we
all know how that works out for the guy that decides its time to
sell his dream build; his loss is your gain. For the price of this
car you can buy a new Camaro ZL1 or Z/28 and watch it depreciate
for the next 20 years or you could buy this iconic split bumper
Camaro, take care of it and never lose money.
