Description

On their own, first-generation Camaros are capable of being plenty fast right off the assembly line. But when a car like this 1968 Chevrolet Camaro Pro Street is purpose-built to dominate the drag strip, the results are nothing short of figuratively and literally breathtaking. Fully repainted silver with complementing twin black racing stripes, this car looks sleekly sinister with its huge cowl-induction hood and impossible-to-miss mini-tubbed rear.

Inside, we find a somewhat surprisingly comfortable grey and black interior. The rear seat has been deleted to help compensate for the addition of the Ridetech roll cage. A pair of aftermarket racing seats, complete with harnesses, hold both the driver and passenger firmly in place, ready for blast off. A three-spoke power-assisted steering wheel sits ahead of a six-pod cluster of AutoMeter white-faced gauges. A dual-battery setup sits in the trunk, each secured by its own battery box balanced on either side of the fuel tank, adding a bit more weight on top of those massive rear wheels to help this beast hook just a little harder.

Under that aggressive hood, we find a massive 615 cubic-inch Twisted SR20 V-8 engine. An all-aluminum big block from Brodix, built by Shafiroff Race Engines, uses custom-ported aluminum heads, Shafiroff valves, springs, and retainers, along with Morel lifters and a custom grind camshaft. A single four-barrel Quick Fuel carburetor pumps 1150 cfm into the intake, while long-tube headers tie into an H-pipe and send spent gases through a full custom three-inch ceramic-coated exhaust, capping off with a pair of FlowMaster mufflers. On 93 octane pump gas, this big block beast put down a stunning 943.6 crank horsepower. That power is routed through a Monster Transmission-built TH400 three-speed automatic transmission, complete with a 4,500 rpm stall converter. From there, those ponies are herded to the nine-inch Strange Engineering rear end, which transfers power to the pavement by way of a pair of 17-inch forged Weld Racing wheels shod in steamroller-sized 29X15.00 Mickey Thompson rubber. Up front, a narrower set of fifteen-inch wheels, wrapped in 27X6.00 M/Ts, handles steering duties.

This incredible 1968 Chevrolet Camaro Pro Street rides on a fully custom chassis that incorporates an independent front and four-link rear suspension, with adjustable QA1 coilovers at all four corners. A Hydroboost brake system employs four-wheel disc brakes, featuring powerful (and good-looking) Wilwood calipers at each wheel, ready to scrub off speed nearly as fast as this boulevard bruiser can make it. This car was completed in 2023, following a three-year building process. With everything so new, this beast has barely been broken in. So, if you love first-gen Camaros but want something that will make even a Yenko blush, this is the car you've been waiting for. But don't wait, this car will go fast in more ways than one.
