Details

This 1969 Camaro, X44 body, received a professional frame-off restoration using Goodmark sheet metal and was completed three years ago. Using a jig for accuracy, every body panel was replaced, as well as complete new floors and mini-tubs. The body is mounted on an Art Morrison Max G chassis with a 3-inch drop and custom floors. The exterior is finished in 1969 Dover White two-stage urethane, while the bottom of the car is painted in semi-gloss black. This custom Camaro is powered by a Chevrolet Performance Parts ZZ502 Deluxe package 502ci V8 crate engine with 508hp and 580 ft/lbs of torque. The engine is equipped with FiTech fuel injection, a Vintage Air front runner system and a Be Cool radiator with electric fans. The engine breathes through a custom exhaust system with 2.5-inch tubes running through the chassis for plenty of ground clearance, and MagnaFlow mufflers and tailpipes exiting at the rear corners of the car at angle. It has 6 to 7 inches of ground clearance, so it never bottoms out. The transmission is a TREMEC TKO 500 5-speed manual transmission with a Lakewood scatter shield and a Centerforce Dual Friction hydraulic clutch. The rear end is a Strange 9-inch with an Eaton posi-traction unit fitted with 3.50 gears and held in place with a 4-link setup. Shocks are QA1 adjustable coilovers at all four corners with Willwood disc brakes. The front suspension is a Mustang Type II with power rack & pinion steering by Art Morrison. The whole drivetrain and chassis setup provides a good balance of power and handling. Custom touches include smoothed and tucked bumpers, gutted hood, custom-made aluminum front spoiler and a filled cowl panel. Other features include air conditioning, a GPS speedometer, remote door locks and a roll bar with racing seat belts.
