Details

This Camaro was built at the Van Nuys plant and spent its entire life in Southern California and Arizona. It has undergone an intense 2-year build by Denny's Bowtie Restorations with over 1,600 hours invested. The engine is a GM Performance LS1 with an upgrade COMP Cam, custom intake, improved injectors and Hooker Free Flow cast headers, and produces over 450hp at the flywheel. The transmission is a Muncie close-ratio M21 4-speed that was professionally built with a Corvette performance clutch, a hydraulic TO Bearing and a new balanced 1330 driveline. Custom MagnaFlow 2-3/4” mandrel-drawn exhaust provides a mild rumble but fierce bark upon acceleration. The front suspension is C6 Corvette with a Scot Mock front clip that was custom-made for this build with a splined front sway bar, Strange coilovers with double adjustment, power rack & pinion and big 6-piston brakes. The rear suspension has a 9” narrowed Currie rear end with TrueTrac 355 gears and has a Pro-Touring TCI rear torsion suspension custom-made with Strange double adjusting coilovers. The body was rust-free to begin with, so it was sanded to bare metal and, with high attention to panel fit and straightness, was primed, blocked and sealed before four coats of PPG Hugger Orange were applied along with four coats of House of Kolor clear, and was then cut and buffed. Completing the body is a factory-installed Endura front bumper and Marquez driving and turn signals. The interior has clean rust-free floors, rockers and trunk, and Dynamat Extreme was applied to every interior surface. The one-off custom premium leather was professionally installed and the trunk is also finished in the same custom upholstery. The interior features new Dakota shaded glass with all-new runners and seals, Dakota Digital VHX gauges with stock sending unit interface, Vintage Air Stage IV heating and cooling and a custom audio system. This custom Camaro rides on Rev Series 55 custom Rally-style 18x8” front and 18x10” rear wheels wrapped in Sumitomo tires. Over $123,000 was invested in this build.
