BODYWORK/TRIM

The product of a nut-and-bolt rotisserie restoration that was completed in early 2015 this authentic X66 Super Sport features an athletic appearance thats ready for prime time. The car was built by Scott Whidby of Moultrie Georgia: a man whos no stranger to world-class Camaro projects having won multiple national awards and enjoyed features in pretty much every magazine that writes about Chevys. And when he started this reboot he rescued a solid Florida skeleton that was promptly complemented with new floors a new roof fresh quarters GM doors and GM fenders. Since the car was mostly new sheetmetal anyway a smoothed firewall was followed with a shaved cowl and high quality mini tubs. And today countless hours and 6-figures later this classic presents as one very enticing panther thats sure to please ANY red-blooded enthusiast! See the idea was to transform a well-driven cruiser into a head turning custom. And given the reputation of the shop this Chevy rolled out of it wasnt a hard stretch.

The overall look of this restoration-fresh Camaro is beyond factory perfect. And thanks to a spectacular combination of Hyundai Hip Hop Red and carefully chosen accents the car pops like a well-tailored Power Suit. Up front a shaved grille hangs clean halogen headlights above a flush-fit color-keyed bumper factory parking lamps and a short Trans Am-style spoiler. At the top of that grille a shaved header leads a cowl induction hood which reflects clear glass straight stainless and color-keyed drip rails. At the sides of that header mirrorless doors anchor chrome handles between satin hockey stripes and small chrome-trimmed marker lamps. And at the back of the car a Satin Black valance centers factory taillights between a D80 deck spoiler and second flush-fit color-keyed bumper.

ENGINE

Lift this F1s glowing hood and youll find a custom-built 502 cubic inch Chevrolet big block that spins stout 11 to 1 compression into roughly 600 horsepower! The big engines growl originates when wind whips from a Hip Hop Red air cleaner in to an 850 CFM Race Demon carburetor thats cinched to stainless fluid lines and a familiar Lokar throttle cable. The resulting air/fuel mixture makes its way from a ground and painted Dart intake to ground and polished Dart Pro 1 heads which are topped with painted CHEVROLET branded valve covers. When the juice hits those heads hot MSD ignition sends fire through piped and sleeved Moroso plug wires while big cylinders combust via Wiseco pistons Eagle H-beam rods a steel crank and a Comp Cams solid roller camshaft. Cooling for that fire comes courtesy of a painted PRC
