Details

This custom 1968 Chevrolet Camaro is powered by a fuel-injected GM Ram Jet 502ci V8 engine paired with a TREMEC 5-speed manual transmission. Starting with a bare shell, it was completely rebuilt from the ground up and features a custom tube chassis, fabricated hood, RideTech suspension, 4-bolt mains, aluminum heads, forged rotating assembly, electronic ignition and a full roller valvetrain. The massive, big-block fan with custom aluminum intake, fabricated intake ducting and an aluminum radiator keeps the towering engine cool and provides 565 ft/lbs of torque. It features a full perimeter frame comprised of custom rectangular tubing that vastly reinforces the tub. The front suspension is a custom set of A-arms with rack & pinion steering, along with sway bars and air suspension. There's a torque arm and trailing links on a custom-fabricated Ford 9-inch rear end and Baer vented and cross-drilled rotors at each corner. The custom 3-inch exhaust system tucks up underneath the car with custom oval-shaped outlets. The black exterior features hockey-stick ghost stripes on the nose and has a factory ducktail spoiler and a Z/28-style front chin spoiler, as well as RS headlights with a billet grille and electric actuators. The interior features leather-wrapped bucket seats and the rear bench seat was upholstered to match. The instrument panel is factory-issue but features Dakota Digital instruments, a fabricated center console that holds the controls for the Vintage Air system, a touchscreen entertainment/navigation system, and the trick RideTech air suspension system. Real carbon fiber is used in the center stack and on the console, and the interior includes a tilt steering column with a custom billet wheel, power windows, custom pedals and a big custom knob on top of the TREMEC 5-speed manual gearbox. The door panels were subtly resculpted to give it a slightly custom look that's really cohesive. The trunk is fully finished with an enclosure for the entertainment system and amplifiers. Dual Optima batteries provide the power, with a cutoff switch neatly hidden behind the license plate. The car rides on custom Rushforth wheels, 19x10s in the front and 20x12 in the rear. With only 700 miles on the build, this Pro-Touring Camaro was custom-built for NHL All-Star Rick Nash by Boot Hill Customs in Canada. The sale includes receipts totaling over $330,000 and build photos.
