The beneficiary of a detailed ground-up restoration this fully documented F-Body features an original big block a tough Muncie 4-speed and correct Black and Hugger Orange aesthetics.

BODYWORK/TRIM

Fully sorted and ready for years of endless parading this vivid panther benefitted from a full restoration that despite its fresh appearance was conducted roughly 20 years ago. That fresh appearance can no doubt be attributed to the fact that the car was acquired by a prominent Camaro collector circa 2001. Naturally its correct Hugger Orange paint reflects excellence under striking black stripes and a correct Black top. And today this top notch Chevy rolls as a captivating homage to everything that was great about 60s automotive excess!

With balanced proportions and modernist detailing the first generation Camaro is an inherently good-looking design. At the front of this F1 a familiar Rally Sport grille hangs a bold SS emblem between hidden headlights a guarded bumper clear parking lamps and a stylish D80 chin spoiler. At the top of that grille a ZL2 cowl induction hood bridges the gap between a familiar Camaro BY CHEVROLET header and like-new glass thats traced in straight stainless trim. At the back of that hood correct mirrors and traditional door handles reflect ornate Camaro scripts and more SS emblems.

Oxygen and fuel enter the exclusive mills combustion chambers through a painted and decaled air cleaner stainless fluid lines and a correct 4346 Holley. Below that carb a sea of brilliant Chevy Orange paint covers the block from its correct Winters intake all the way to its stamped steel oil pan. At the back of that intake a reliable points distributor shoots spark through eight AC-Delco-Packard TV-R-Suppression cables. Below those cables correct Winters aluminum heads center chrome valve covers on professionally restored exhaust manifolds. In front of those tubes fresh V-belts spin a rebuilt Delco alternator opposite correct power steering. At the front of that pump a Delco-topped battery complements a correctly shrouded radiator thats cinched to pliable GM hoses and tight tower clamps. Those components are in traditional fashion seated in a slick Satin Black frame. And the whole setup presents exceptionally
