This is the right way to do a resto-mod Camaro. Take one gorgeous 1969 Chevrolet Camaroand#44; and leave the look alone (because youre not going to do better than this). Add a strong-running crate motor and a pavement-hugging suspension. Finish with a tastefuland#44; yet functional interior that keeps everything that was great about the original design but adds a splash of modern tech. This car totally nails it. The bright Daytona Yellow paint is the first thing that grabs you about this carand#44; but it isnt the only thing thats impressive. Its recently done and shows the result of many hours of labor-intensive ministrations with a deep shine and excellent finish work for a distortion-free surface. On light-colored carsand#44; gaps are importantand#44; and theyre pretty darned good hereand#44; and the painted-on black Z/28-style stripes are buried under the clear for a seamless look. Regardless of whether its a real SSand#44; all the classic SS details are thereand#44; from the chin spoiler and blacked-out grille to the proper emblems to the ducktail spoiler out backand#44; so its got a great performance look. But its up close that you really enjoy the extra work. Dig the power antenna on the rear deckand#44; the beautifully-fitted black vinyl top with blacked-out stainless trimand#44; and the cowl induction hoodand#44; all of which enhance the car without making it seem over-done. Nice! The black interior is anchored by a set of chairs from a late-modeland#44; which are aggressively bolstered but also cleverly reupholstered to mimic the original vertical pleats so they fit right in. SS embroidery on the headrests is a nice touchand#44; and the matching door panels tie it all together. A billet steering wheel is the most visible upgradeand#44; but its a nice alternative to the original plastic tiller. Factory gauges monitor the engineand#44; including a full set of white-faced auxiliary gauges down on the console where they belongand#44; right in front of the fantastic horseshoe shifter. An AM/FM/CD stereo system sounds great thanks to plenty of sound insulation in the body and youll note that even the rear package shelf has been neatly reupholstered. The trunk is correctly finished with a reproduction matand#44; adding to the blurry line between stock and modified. The engine is a fresh 350 cubic inch V8 crate motorand#44; and obviously its a neat fit in the Camaros engine bay. Its dressed with some chrome goodiesand#44; an Edelbrock 4-barrel carburetor and intake manifoldand#44; and a set of block-hugging headersand#44; so you know it makes plenty of power. The yellow bodywork and gloss black inner fenders provide the perfect backgroundand#44; and theres a big radiator up front for when youre running it hard. Its backed by a TH350 3-speed automatic transmission which always seems to be on its toesand#44; as well as a 10-bolt rear end with just enough gear to make it entertaining without getting annoying on the highway. The front suspension is augmented with tubular A-arms and new shocksand#44; while the stock leaf springs manage the rear. A Flowmaster dual exhaust system gives it that characteristic rumbleand#44; and its fitted with a big disc brake at each cornerand#44; so itll stop as well as it accelerates. Big 18-inch Boss Motorsports wheels certainly grab your attention and theyre wrapped in staggered 245/40/18 front and 275/40/18 rear Nitto performance rubber. This car is the right combination of styleand#44; substanceand#44; and performanceand#44; making it one of the most appealing early Camaros weve seen in a while. Call today! |
