Weve seen it done time and time again to the point where its getting a little redundant. However every now and again a build comes along that really captures why this movement started. This 1969 Camaro is a near perfect example if there ever was one of a pro-touring build. With a completely revamped suspension a gorgeous modern interior and a 700 horsepower engine this Camaro is amazing to gander at and even more incredible to drive! BODYWORK/TRIM Originally assembled in Norwood Ohio today this pro-touring Camaro sits in $26195 worth of killer PPG Vibrance tri-coat that was applied in January of 2016. That paint reflects stunning O-So-Sexy Radiance II candy pigment thats a slick blend of old school swagger and modern finesse. At the front of the cars seamless body a billet Rally Sport grille caps a color-keyed bumper a color-keyed air dam and clear fog lamps. Behind that grille a moderately cowled hood flows into a shaved profile thats devoid of everything but painted F2 mirrors and billet marker lamps. At the top of that profile smoked glass is framed in a familiar combination of polished stainless and painted drip rails. And at the back of the car billet taillights illuminate a color-keyed spoiler and a second color-keyed bumper. ENGINE In 1969 the biggest engine you could plant in a Camaro was a 430 horsepower 427 cubic inch big block. Well this Camaro definitely utilizes a smaller block but it probably puts out quite a bit more than 430 horsepower. Pop the hood and youll find a fully polished Donovan Engineering 376 that was completely rebuilt by Box Performance of Columbia Station Ohio in July of 2016. The chromed out mill looks immaculate against the cars candy colored engine bay. With the help of Joe Gibbs Racing Aluminum SB2 heads $2500 worth of custom Callies crankshaft and Jesel rocker arms it achieves amazing power on mere 93 octane pump gas. A custom Wizard Cooling radiator is with the help of four 9-inch electric fans responsible for cooling things down. And spent gasses traverse custom Lemons Headers which bark in to a true-dual exhaust system that exits just behind the cars rear tires. DRIVETRAIN/SUSPENSION Put this Camaro on a lift and youll see just how extensive its build really was. At the front of the car youll find a Detroit Speed hydro-formed sub-frame thats complete with tubular upper and lower control arms. Naturally those arms are connected by a beefy sway bar and modern coil-over-shocks. The 376s power gets channeled through a tough Tremec TKO 5-speed which sends torque to a quality Moser 9-inch thats finished with 3.50 gears. The rear of the car has been upgraded with a Detroit Speed QUADRAlink setup thats augmented with Koni shocks sturdy sub-frame connectors and predictable mini tubs. Power-assisted Baer discs are responsible for stops. And everything rolls on 18-inch Budniks that are wrapped in 275/35ZR18 front and 335/30ZR18 rear BF Goodrich g-Force T/As. INTERIOR Click a button on the keychain and open the drivers side door to reveal a completely custom tan leather interior that features 21st century styling throughout. The front bucket seats have been wrapped in Buckskin leather and feature chrome accent pieces in the middle. In front of the driver a polished and tilting column spins a Budnik steering wheel. |
