1969 CHEVROLET CAMARO CUSTOM COUPE

Details

This 1969 Chevrolet Camaro was completely fabricated and customized front to rear, inside to underside. It was purpose-built to achieve certain performance levels and aesthetics and was featured at the 2016 SEMA Show. It started as a Camaro SS before the body was removed from the original chassis and turned into a full Pro-Touring build. The only remaining stock and original parts are the body panels; every other component has been replaced, modified and custom-built. It's powered by a 6.2-liter

LS3 V8 engine with twin Turbonetics turbochargers producing 652hp at the rear wheels. The V8 features a high-lift camshaft and valve springs, powder-coated black Holley Sniper anodized fuel rails and a K&N filter element. The car has a very conservative tune with 15 degrees of timing and 8 psi of boost. The engine is paired with a T56 6-speed manual transmission with a Z06 hydraulic clutch. It features custom handcrafted headers and multiple mechanical modifications, including handcrafted header flanges with 1.750 runners, CNC billet 304 SS badge, custom stainless-steel fuel tank with an electric fuel pump system and Turbonetics TNX billet compressor. A Bosch water pump for the intercooler sends the water to the intake, then returns off the back of the intake and routes to the front of the car to a mini radiator with a 7-inch electric fan, then to the anodized tank. It features a March Performance serpentine belt, Griffin aluminum radiator and black braided hoses. The valve covers had the lugs milled off, the voids were welded and 10 bungs were placed for ventilation. The suspension and rear end comprise Detroit Speed tubular A-arms, Hotchkis 1-inch sway bar, Wilwood 4-wheel disc brakes and calipers, Currie 9-inch mini-tub rear end with Moser 33-spline axles and powder-coated undercarriage. The undercarriage is non-factory with custom-fabricated and color-matched components. A custom air-ride suspension with Firestone airbags and custom brackets to accommodate the larger rear tires was also installed. The exterior is equipped with shaved door handles, custom LED side marker lights, billet hood hinges, flush-mounted front and rear bumpers and a 5% visibility window tint on all glass. The interior includes custom-trimmed, stitched and perforated leather door panels and seats, kick and rear panels, rear bucket seats, leather headliner and leather-wrapped dash pad and a push-button start ignition, black AutoMeter gauges with red numbers and a 1,500-watt JL Audio system. It rides on custom Colorado wheels. From the Prestige Collection.
