Vehicle Description
This 1969 Chevrolet Camaro is one of the best-executed pro-touring
cars we've ever featured. Not only does it look gorgeous, but it
offers big block horsepower, a grippy suspension, and massive
4-wheel disc brakes, all combined with a bunch of comfort and
convenience upgrades to create a car that only looks like a vintage
F-body.
There's no argument that the 1969 Camaro is one of the best-looking
performance cars of the era, and there's really no way to make one
look bad. This one wears a two-year-old coat of modern urethane in
the original Lemans Blue color, which actually looks far better
than it ever did in 1969 and is definitely a proper Camaro color.
The sheetmetal is beautifully restored, laser-straight, and that
paint really is spectacular, so you can see the undistorted
reflections in the car's surface. They kept the stock hood, which
always looks right, and there's a ducktail spoiler out back, but
that's it for ornamentation. No badges, a simple blacked-out tail
panel (which is correct on a car with a big block engine), and
chrome bumpers that look great. If you like the stock look, this
car totally nails it with simplicity and quality.
The interior sticks mostly to the factory recipe, starting with
houndstooth upholstery. However, those buckets are a little more
aggressively bolstered than the stockers, and the wood-rimmed
steering wheel is a little fatter, so it feels modern the moment
you slip behind the wheel. Gauges are stunning Dakota Digital
analog pieces that glow from within when you turn on the lights,
and there's a carbon-fiber surround for the shifter to keep it
looking high-tech. Vintage Air A/C was added and it's effective
with R134a refrigerant inside, although this is a factory air car
so it looks totally OEM. There's also a $3500 AM/FM/Bluetooth
stereo system with Hertz speakers, tweeters, and a subwoofer in the
trunk, plus a ton of sound-deadening material so you only hear what
you want to hear inside. The trunk is clean and tidy, and is only a
repro mat away from looking very correct.
Mechanically, this sucker gets it done with a Chevy big block
punched out to 468 cubic inches. With less than 100 miles on the
engine, it's still brand new with only test and tune miles on it. A
Spectre cold air intake feeds a big Holley 4-barrel carburetor a
top an aluminum intake manifold. Chevy Orange paint, a few chrome
pieces, and a serpentine belt drive system with accessories all
work together to create a modern interpretation of a 1969 Camaro. A
big aluminum radiator keeps it cool and a built TH400 3-speed
automatic transmission seems to ignore the huge torque churning
through it. Out back, there's a custom 12-bolt rear with a finned
cover and a giant sway bar and composite springs to really pin this
car to the pavement. A custom driveshaft ties it all together.
Giant Wilwood disc brakes measure 13-inches up front and 12-inches
in back, so you get Corvette-level stopping power and the exhaust
system sounds amazing thanks to stainless Magnaflow Mufflers and an
X-pipe. Those 18-inch American Racing wheels are exactly the right
size for a vintage Camaro and carry 225/40/18 front and 275/40/18
rear Bridgestone performance radials.
