This is a modern supercar that merely looks like a 1969 Camaro SS. Its 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 weve ever seen. From the beautifully rendered sheetmetal to the spectacular interior to the LS-based drivetrainand#44; this is a Camaro that really does do it all and doesnt even break a sweat while doing it. Every square inch of the body was smoothedand#44; sandedand#44; and aligned to look far better than any factory-built Camaro youve seen. The stunning charcoal gray paint shimmers in the sunlightand#44; the gaps are very goodand#44; 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 flavorand#44; and nothings cooler than a cowl-induction hood up front and a ducktail out back to accentuate the 1969s link to the past. Its been stripped of almost all its badges and side-marker lightsand#44; so it almost looks as if it was carved out of a single chunk of steeland#44; 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 centuryand#44; 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 youre going to do in this carand#44; and a custom center console was planted between them. The dash is neatly finished to look stock but isnt and puts a full array of Auto Meter instruments ahead of the driver. Theres a powerful AM/FM/CD/iPod stereo system thats 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 Spartanand#44; holding only the Optima battery. The engine is a 6.2 liter LS3 crate motor (AKA the LSX) thats been augmented with several upgrades that put it over 480 horsepower at the flywheel. Its set into a beautifully finished engine bay thats as much old-school hot rod as 21st century techand#44; 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 theres 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 shocksand#44; so it feels more like a modern Corvette than a vintage F-bodyand#44; 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 paintedand#44; polishedand#44; platedand#44; and Jet-Hot coated partsand#44; including the Flowmaster exhaust system. Disc brakes at all four corners are mandatory when you have wheels thatll show them offand#44; and those Rushforth Night Train hoops wear 19s up front and 20s in the back. We cant possibly give you the full picture on this stunning creationand#44; 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 rodsand#44; this Camaro is a no-disappointments machine that stands out in every possible way. Call now! |
