Youre already tempted just by the idea of a 1970 Chevrolet Camaro Z/28 RS bodied coupeand#44; but just one mere glance at this oneand#44; and you know there have been some serious investments in upgrades. That iconic Hugger Orange paintand#44; custom interior A/Cand#44; five-speedand#44; four-wheel disc brakesand#44; and performance-enhanced LS3 crate motorand#44; all tell you this is the coolest Camaro you can gets your hands on! Citrus Green is a fine factory color for 1970and#44; but it just would not do this mean machine justice. Thats why it has been given a professional respray to the color reserved for the best Camaros – Hugger Orange. But more than just show-stopping paintworkand#44; the iconic white SS stripes help accent the extra long hood and spoiler that runs end-to-end over the rear. This coupe was completely looked over and all the right investments were made in getting better even than the factory ever could. Workmanship is excellent - you can see how straight this one is just from the photos and the reflections in the surface. This is one complete and aggressive package that is certainly helped by the chin spoiler up front. And the Rally Sport dual front split bumpers that makes way for Z/28s iconic large grille that looks like it wants to consume all the lesser cars on the road. A great finishing touch is the set of large 18-inch Billet Specialties wheels that add both shine and intimidation to this total package. The first impression you get when you open the door is a nice fresh black interior. But as you go in for a closer lookand#44; you see there was a ton invested to upgrade this for comfort and performance. For exampleand#44; the bucket seats have been given modern bolstering to keep you planted during spirited drivingand#44; and they are covered in new supple leather. The door panelsand#44; headlinerand#44; and carpeting are also in a deep black to really give you a nice muscle car feeling. There are plenty of features to keep everyone happy such as the AM/FM/CD stereo with Bluetoothand#44; and the ice-cold R134a air conditioning. But from the moment you slip behind the Budnik steering wheeland#44; you know this one was built for the driver. Theres a full gauge package with large AutoMeter readoutsand#44; and your right hand rests comfortably on the Joes performance shifter (have you counted the gears on this one yet?) The presentation under the hood can win awards all on its own. The painted engine bay gives way to a fully coordinated package with so many polished componentsand#44; we bet youll have to pass out sunglasses before you let the crowds see under the hood. But once you look past the shineand#44; theres some serious substance. Youre looking at a 6.2-liter GM Performance LS3 crate motor. When it was in cars like the C6 Corvette and fifth generation Camaro it produced 430 horsepower... But youre going to get even more here. Thats because this V8 has go-fast goodies such as a Holley Street Avenger 750 CFM four-barrel carburetorand#44; GM Performance intakeand#44; and custom long tube headers that feed a rumbling Borla X-pipe exhaust. The full package is rated at 500+ horsepower. Best of alland#44; you have complete control over this muscle machine thanks to Keisler RS600 five-speed manual transmission thats been fortified with a QuickTime bellhousingand#44; McLeod flywheeland#44; and Keisler driveshaft. This feeds the 12-bolt rear end with Moser axles and 3.73 ratio for all-around good performance. Plusand#44; the power steeringand#44; Wilwood four-wheel disc brakesand#44; and grippy BF Goodrich gForce Sport tires reinforce this great driving attitude. You only need to take a look at the undercarriage photos to see the high level of investment in this F-body. This is a Z/28 that comes with file of build receipts detailing the timeand#44; effortand#44; and big money that when into creating an all-out dominator of a classic Camaro. So |
