Most modified Camaros fit into the same general mold: crate motorand#44; chromeand#44; and wheels. You can easily build a cleanand#44; quick F-body that keeps its traditional look and adds modern conveniences. Or you can go absolutely crazy and build an all-out big block race car like this 1968 Camaro. With that super-tall cowl-induction hoodand#44; those giant tiresand#44; and an exhaust note that sounds like the Allies carpet-bombing Munichand#44; theres no point to subtle paint. Freshly applied bright red and black is a classic combination and the gold leaf/airbrushed strip that separates them also highlights the Camaros dramatic curves. We also like that the rear wheel arches havent been drastically modified to handle the massive meats out backand#44; keeping the familiar Camaro look. A ducktail spoiler reinforces the fact that this car is all about performance but the blacked-out rear panel is a cool custom touch that ties it together with the blacked-out grille quite nicely. With that much engine up frontand#44; a chin spoiler is probably a good ideaand#44; and they kept most of the original trim and chromeand#44; including the bumpers SS emblemsand#44; although if you look closelyand#44; the badge on the nose of this F-body says 427. If youre looking for a race carand#44; this is what it looks like inside. A single aluminum race bucket with a 5-point harness strap you in like youre aboard a Saturn V rocketand#44; and theres a full cage surrounding youand#44; you knowand#44; just in case. The original dash is in there somewhereand#44; now augmented with Auto Meter instruments and a tach with shift light up on the A-pillar. A Bandamp;M shifter sits on the tunnel right where its easy to graband#44; along with the air shifter that ensures consistency on the track. But its not all sharp edges and growling horsepowerand#44; because theres a pretty burled walnut steering wheel that actually works rather well in there. The back seat is goneand#44; replaced by beautifully fabricated tubs for the rear tiresand#44; and what space remains in the trunk is filled with fuel cell and twin batteries that crank that mountain of a motor without effort. The key to performance is power-to-weight ratioand#44; and the 496 cubic inch big block delivers in a very big way. Freshly built to an estimated 920+ horsepower on racing fuel (without NOS)and#44; its never been raced but was built to run in the 7s which is a seriously quick time at the track. Topped by a giant Holley Dominator built by Gary Williams and a CNC ported Edelbrock intakeand#44; Brodix aluminum headsand#44; and a full roller valvetrain by Reher-Morrisonand#44; it cacklesand#44; barks and idles like a full-race piece. Theres a Scat stroker kit with a forged crankand#44; JE pistonsand#44; and H-beam rods insideand#44; plus a set of Hedman long-tube headers that feed a thundering set of collectors andand#44; umand#44; nothing else. It sounds nasty! A stout PTC PowerGlide 2-speed automatic transmission is perhaps the ultimate in bracket racing consistency and it spins a narrowed and reinforced 9-inch Ford rear end with billet axles and a Strange center section. The custom Chassis Research rear suspension includes ladder bars and coil-oversand#44; so it hooks hard and Wilwood disc brakes at all four corners are for speed management at the big end. Classic 5-spoke wheels carry a proper set of Mickey Thompson skinnies up front and gigantic Goodyear meats out back. Scary fast and built rightand#44; this is the kind of car thats content to idle through the parking lot just as long as it gets a few moments off the leash now and then. The only question isand#44; are you man enough to handle it? Call today! |
