Dubbed 'Tour De Force,' this 1970 Chevrolet Camaro is an X-rated muscle car built by Health Elmer Restorations and Pryde Fabrication. It's equipped with a Detroit Speed Engineering (DSE) full roll cage from front to back and a DSE subframe with subframe connectors for precise performance. It's achieved multiple Goodguys awards, including Gazette Pick, Mighty Muscle Pick, Builders Choice and Muscle Machine of the year participant, and it was a Goodguys Autocross participant. It has been featured in multiple magazines, including Goodguys and Popular Hot Rodding. The documentation for the awards and magazines is included. This second-generation Camaro is the ultimate street machine with its aggressive appearance and modern technology. Finished in Gunmetal Gray with black trim, it was outfitted with an Anvil carbon-fiber hood, trunk lid and rear filler panel. Some additional exterior custom touches include third-generation Camaro mirrors, Buick door handles, and narrowed and painted front bumper, and all the tinted glass was replaced. The car sits on Satin Black Rushforth Whiplash 18-inch wheels wrapped in new BFGoodrich G-Force Rival 275-35-18 tires with the front wheels 18x10; the rear has a DSE mini-tub kit for the massive 18x12 wheels with new BFGoodrich 335-30-18 tires. The one-of-a-kind interior was done by the Upholstery Shop and Sound Expressions. It resembles a high-tech aircraft cockpit more than a 52-year-old car. Some of the interior custom features include billet aluminum trim throughout, metal dash, aviation-inspired billet gauge bezels, Speed Hut gauges, vents, push-button start, tilt steering column, MOMO steering wheel, Vintage Air climate-control system, door panels, door handles, rear panels, pedals, RECARO leather front and rear seats, AM Safe Aviation four-point front seat harnesses, rear seat belts, console with shifter, power window switches and cup holder. It's equipped with a high-end Pioneer and Rockford Fosgate sound system consisting of a modern stereo, two amplifiers, two tweeters, four speakers and three subwoofers. The trunk compartment was boxed and carpeted to match the interior theme. The engine compartment is highly detailed with many custom features throughout. The firewall was painted the body color and dressed in custom trim. The Anvil carbon-fiber hood is held with black aluminum hinges. The car is powered by a Mach Development 427 V8 engine that dyno-tested over 600hp. The engine was built with high-quality performance parts such as a SCAT forged crankshaft, Carrillo rods, JE forged pistons, COMP camshaft, Dart aluminum heads and Manley valves. The engine was dressed with custom valve covers with breather vent tanks, March Performance Pro Track air cleaner, Vintage Air front runner pulley system and Holley Sniper fuel-injection system. The engine is cooled by a Ron Davis aluminum radiator, Stewart water pump and dual electric fans. The engine breathes out custom headers and dual 3-inch black ceramic-coated exhaust with Borla mufflers. The engine is coupled to a TREMEC T56 Magnum 6-speed manual transmission with a McLeod Racing twin-disc clutch. The power is transferred to the DSE narrowed 9-inch rear end with Truetrac differential with 3.89 gears. It's equipped with a DSE rack & pinion power steering system with DSE Delphi 600 pump. The undercarriage is highly detailed with many custom features throughout. The front suspension consists of C6 spindles, DSE splined sway bar and JRi coilovers.
